Hylands House - The roof and Columns

Next I decided to make the roof. This was a lot harder than it looked. As I have not used 3Ds max for a while I completely forgot the easiest way that I could make the shape of the roof. I eventually realised that a box would be the best option and then I used the extrude tool to lower the bottom of the roof. I also used the Chamfer tool to make the white edges on the roof.













I have used these tools many times before so this was all very easy to do. The picture below shows a rendered version of the roof. This shape would need to be duplicated to make the other smaller roofs.















The columns were lots harder than I first thought they would be. I used a simple cylinder and then used the extrude tool to make the bottom of the columns have a larger base. The columns were needed one many places on the building so I needed to create one and duplicate it eleven times. The feature at the top of the columns was made out of a simple flat box and two other cylinders.













Four of the duplicated eleven cylinders had to be slightly taller and thinner than the other columns but this has to be left for another time when I am more aware of the sizes that the columns need to be. The picture below shows a rendered version of the column.
