In this video, we'll create a kitchen sink step by step in 3ds Max—from a simple plane to a neat finished model with all the holes, edges, and chamfers.
You'll learn how to work with Edit Poly, Border, Chamfer, and Cut, how to properly deepen geometry, create a faucet step, cut a drain, make an overflow hole, and create clean geometry for further rendering.
