November 9, 2011 Leave a comment Begin in 3ds Max by drawing the
outline of your mesh. Users typically load an image that that
they used for creating an RPC into the background and trace it
using splines. Don’t worry about the size. This is determined at
the time the RPC is created. Be sure and close the spline. I
have created an outline of the pumpkin from October’s blog and
create a shape to represent the base of the RPC. The tip of the
triangle depicts the front of the RPC. Right click on these and
select Convert to editable mesh. Once I have created the shapes
for my RPC’s mesh I arrange them the way the final mesh will
look. To export the mesh, select the geometry to be exported and
then click on the 3ds Max icon (File button), Export then Export
Selected. Choose AutoCAD *.DXF as the file type when naming the
file. Choose the option for Selected Objects and click on OK. At
this point a .DXF file should be successfully created, however
we will need to convert this into a .msh file to use it with RPC
