What's the fastest way to create a tuba in 3ds max?

Question

Couldn't find one for free on the internet so i guess i'll have to build it myself. Doesn't have to be detailed, I just need one fast. Any tutorial or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

ok, fastest way to create a tuba would be to "Loft" a circle shape up a path. Create a circle shape, not a sphere, but a circle. Lay this down on the X,Y, coordinates so it lays flat on the grid. Then go to your left or right viewport and create the shape of the tuba with your line tool. Start from the 0 coordinate in the Z axis. (up and down). Once you create the shape of the tuba, now you will Loft the circle shape up the tuba line shape. Select the circle, and go into your Create tab where you would create a box, sphere, etc.... pull down the menu to the "component" tab where you will find the boolean and whatnot, and there is one called "Loft". Select Loft, and in the menu you will see to "pick path" or something like that.... Select the tuba line shape. If you are not satisfied with the primary outcome of this, you can right click on the shape and convert to editable poly and play around with the mesh until you get the shape you want.



This is the quickest way for objects like that.



Hope this helps.... Easier to show than to explain.
