| Creating the vase in 3D Studio MAX ( 3ds max ) - Tutorial / Lesson |
In this page, we are going to make a vase. We will first draw the outline of the vase, using the line tool. Then we apply the Lathe modifier to revolve the outline so that we get the 3-D vase. Create the vase in the same scene in which you created the table. Pan the viewports, so that you will have space to work with your vase.

From the create panel in 3D Studio MAX ( 3ds max ) , inside shapes, you select the Line tool. Now draw the outline of the Vase, as shown in the figures given below. The placement of the vertices need not be exact. Draw the shape in the front viewport, and preferably start from the top left corner of the outline. At those places where you need a curved line, click and hold the mouse down, while defining the vertex, and move the mouse a bit to make the line curved. At those points where you need a sharp corner, simply click the mouse and release. Proceed by creating points till you reach the end of the outline at the base. You don't have to close the spline. When you reach the bottom of the outline at the last vertex, simply, right click the mouse to terminate the line tool. If the last point appears to be misplaced, simply press Backspace to delete it.
The placement of the points in 3D Studio MAX ( 3ds max ), if seems inaccurate to you, apply the edit spline modifier on the line and change the vertices's position as you wish. This process has been elaborately explained in the previous page.
