At one point in my studies I decided I had to put to good use what I was learning to do in 3D Studio Max. I got the chance to do this during my Interior Design Class. They asked us to analyze the works of famous architect Marcel Breuer. You may be asking yourself who I'm talking about, but I'm about to tell you something surprising: you already know him! Every time you saw, or sat, on one of these arm chairs:
 |
| Wassily Chair - Marcel Breuer |
you just saw, or sat on, a design by this Architect, who is one of the finest designer of the Bauhaus, alongside Mies Van Der Rohe!
Apart from being a very good chair designer, Breuer was a very fine house designer, and I was asked to concentrate on Hooper House II, which has a fairly simple design:
 |
| Hooper house II - FloorPlan |
I told myself I would be doing the 3D model in 3D Studio Max. I had some reference photos, and I also tried to replicate one of them:
 |
| Hooper House II - Patio |

| 3D studio Max - Scanline render |
The result is really poor, and it's sad to say that the experience I had creating this model convinced me to stop using 3D Studio Max altogether: I had no notion of snap points, no real clue as to how to work with the exact dimensions. This program seemed to me not precise at all, but it all depended on my faulty knowledge. You can see some other examples of the images I produced for this class below. They are appalling, but for the time they were greeted with a wow and my Interior Design Class went great... go figure.
