For my personal project, I decided to model the AK 47 rifle. It is a subject that I have knowledge about, and it is easy to find blueprints. The modelling aside, this project introduced me to multiple fundamental concepts that I see myself using a lot.
I was dissapointed that Max has no option to import images directly. I created a plane and then added a bitmap, and plugged my reference into the diffuse color. This allowed me to import my reference that I would be using for the model.
The fundamental process of stabilizing my view and modelling by extending and scaling one primitive object really helped me stay focused. I decided to improve this workflow in my later projects as this process really suits my way of thinking.
This little personal project was a really good chance for me to learn multiple good techniques that I will be using a lot in the future. I struggled mostly with rounding my model, specifically the stock and the pistol grip, for which I resorted to using the bevel tool.
