Hello in this tutorial I will show you how to create and texture a golf ball. This is an easy and convinient way to make your own golf ball. I will explane everithing clear enough so everybody coild understand it.I want to say that used 3Dmax 7 to create this tutorial but you could do it even with max 3 or 4.
Ok let's get started.First start 3D max then go to the create panel and press GeoSpere.
Set it to icosa, radius:100 and segments to 8.
Now the fun part begins.Right click on the ball select Conver to/Editable mesh Now select polygon.
Now from the edit meny press SELECT ALL that will select the entire geosphere.Now from the sub-object press edge and again choose Select all from the edit meny.Now press the Chamfer on the Edit Geometry.I think you should add an amout of 4.5 or 5 just see what suits best.
Now go back to the polygon go to the edit meny and choose Select Invert this will select the edges that we created in the previous step.Add extrude amount of about -1 and the Bavel about 3.5 – 4.
Now all you have to add is a MeshSmooth modifier
in the interations press 1.Afte you render you should have something like in the picture.
