Mastering 3d modeling in 3ds Max: How to model a sailing ship hull using ship plans (part 4)
In this tutorial, we explore the sheer plan lines and how they help extract geometrical data for the bow and stern sections of a sailing ship hull. 🚢 You’ll also learn how to use the Freeform tool in 3ds Max, including the Extend option for drawing polygon topology directly onto surfaces.
We’ll dive into essential techniques like the Drag tool, Relax brush, and Conform brush—perfect for refining topology and ensuring smooth, clean geometry. By the end of this video, we’ll have completed the low-poly sailing ship hull modeling process
