Max Bridge, Outdoor Walkway


Here is a nice rendition of a small bridge, outdoor walkway. The challenge here was doing the railings and since my first attempt was a failure I had to create a new set in which the faces were not so many.

See, my first try had a rounded profile of the railings and so the 3ds max file went over 25 megabytes in memory space. There was that problem, and also the fact that I could not export it to 3ds file extension. I have learned that it is better to create low polys first and then add more in case it is needed. It keeps the files portable and less headache when you have a not so fast computer. So I deleted the round railings and put in new square profile, it is just as good as rounded, and wala! it is now under 500 kb.

Anyway, you can get access to my free max bridge here for download. file is .3ds.

Here is a video of it showing all around sides. You can watch in HD. Thank you for your visits.
