3Ds Max Tutorial - 11 - Modifiers Video Lecture | Learn 3D Modelling with Autodesk 3Ds Max (English) - 3D & Animation

what's up guys welcome to your 11th 3d
studio max tutorial and in this tutorial
we're going to be talking about
modifiers now what a modifier does is it
pretty much distorts an object in some
way and you can only apply these to
editable objects so I already made this
too bright here and I right clicked it
and I press convert convert to editable
mesh and I didn't show that on my
tutorial because when I right-click my
screen recorder messes up so you should
know how to do this from less toriel
just make any object you want it doesn't
even have to be a tube and convert it to
an editable object and now once you do
that you're ready to begin so like I
said a modifier is used to distort an
object so go ahead and select the object
you just created and when you do you
should get white brackets around it and
now you should have the name of that
object right here in your model modifier
a list right here and again I'm in the
modify panel right there
so this modifier list is all the
modifiers you can apply to your object
to select on just go ahead and take your
list scroll down and press something
like Bend and now you can see this
orange bracket surrounds your object and
this means that a modifier is applied to
it so the parameters of your modifier
automatically pop up in your rollouts
whenever you apply it to and here's
another neat little trick if you want to
apply a modifier to several objects at
once all you have to do is select
several objects at once and select a
modifier and that will apply them all to
the objects at once so you don't have to
apply a modifier or this tube then apply
it to another to apply it to another
tube you can just have three two
selected apply a modifier and apply it
to all three so anyways once you apply a
modifier or selected from the list
you're pyramidal your parameters for
that modifier will pop up so then you
can go ahead and change that modifier
and these parameters are different for
every modifier their modifier specific
so this Bend lets you choose the angle
and also the distance
so I'm gonna leave that like I don't
know might as well leave it like that
further Bend and you can't you don't
have to just apply one modifier to an
object unify multiple as many modifiers
as you want actually so I'm gonna go
ahead and with this object still
selected go and my drop-down list and
pick another one what's a good
noticeable one lattice right here this
moment this pretty much means weaved so
now you get this nice little weave
pattern and I'm gonna in my parameters
I'm gonna drop the radius down a little
bit there we go so now you can see that
we have this new object that was bent in
latticed whatever the heck that means
you know but hey we're not here to
discuss what means we're just here
discussing modifiers and how to use them
so each of these modifiers all of these
does a different really weird thing and
we're gonna be using these in the future
but right now I just want to show you
guys how to use modifiers and I picked
the probably two most noticeable ones we
got so again any time you want apply
modifier just use it from the drop-down
list and also change the parameters
right here when they pop up now another
thing that you're gonna take note of is
these have the two little light bulbs
next to the it's called the stack in the
stack we have each of your modifiers in
two little light bulbs next on what a
light ball means is toggle the modifier
on and off so if you click it off then
it stops bending if you click this one
off the lattice disappears so if you
only want the C of you or excuse me see
a few of your modifiers just click them
off and you should probably know this
from like After Effects or like
Photoshop or something but anyways
that's what it does so anytime you want
to get rid of a modifier here's what you
do say you just pick the one you want to
get rid of like lattice I don't really
like that weave so I want to get rid of
it you just highlight it by clicking on
it and then click this little remove
modifier from the stack and if you're
wondering what the stack is it's this
box right here so that's what the stack
is
so that is how you remove modifiers so
I'm gonna add that modifier again just
because I want to show you something
else
add lattice and move this radius that
radius is kind of annoying and there we
go
you don't have to do that but the last
thing I want to talk to you guys about
is how to or actually what collapsing an
object or collapsing the modifiers mean
anytime you work with your modifiers and
you got them just how you want them and
you want and you're like alright look at
that
aw that is the perfect animation right
there I'm gonna keep it just like that
what you can do is collapse your
modifiers and this will permanently
apply them to the object so what you
need to do is in your edible mesh or
whatever you applied it to and probably
want to do that right click or excuse me
right click and pick collapse all and
now you're gonna get this little warning
just click yes and now look at your
editable mesh in your modifier list
you have no modifiers that's because the
modifiers became a part of the object
and you can't edit them anymore so again
anytime you want to permanently set your
modifiers on that object and you know
you're not going to be editing them
anymore what you have to do is right
click the mesh and collapse all and that
will permanently apply them to your
object or model so that's all I got for
you for this tutorial hopefully you
learned what modifiers are and how they
can distort your object and also why
they are useful so we're gonna be using
these in Mexico tutorials but for now I
just want to show you guys how to use
them and the basic one run-through of
them so thank you guys for watching it
and don't forget to subscribe and I'll
see you next tutorial
