n this course we will use the Graphite modeling tools to build a football helmet in 3ds Max.
A big challenge when building hard surface models that have curves and contours is adding resolution without introducing unwanted changes in the shape. The Graphite Modeling toolset has a number of tools we can use to solve this problem. In this course we will explore the use of these tools by building a football helmet. We’ll be able to quickly create and modify hard surface geometry using tools like Set Flow and Flow Connect that will maintain the curvature of the mesh. Upon completion, you’ll have a better understanding of some of the modeling tools in 3ds max and how you can put those tools to use in creating well shaped geometry with clean topology for your own projects.
Lesson Outline (8 lessons):
1. Introduction and Project Overview
2. Modeling the base of the helmet
3. Detailing the helmet base
4. Adding the helmet pads
5. Building a facemask
6. Adding the connectors and snaps
7. Building the chinstrap base
8. Finishing the chinstrap

  3. “The file could not be found. Please check the download link. “
    thats the message i am getting, i dont know why…the rest is fine .

  5. Thanks, NoBaX
    ALL links work fine!!

    I will reply back when I finish downloading as to whether any parts are broken.

  6. nobax may be it is better reupload everything, thanks for your time brother

    • All of the links and files are okay. Try downloading the problem file again.

  9. Tnax alottt Nobax, I extracted and tested it, everything is working great for me, thanx again for all of yours great tutorials.

  11. Thanks again NoBaX!
    Just finished downloading and extracting all the files. All files are available and NO corrupt files!!

  12. Thanks … but first file could not be find error can u please re upload the file.
