The lines were drawn out in AutoCAD for accuracy, then imported into Max as splines and extruded. Then I applied a bend modifier to get them to the same shape as the surface of the scale. The text is modelled in Max. It was done a long time ago, and now I think I would just texture it!

wow, it looks good...why imported as splines?

[Bubbaloo]

That's how Max imports cad drawings, as splines. It's a technique I use a lot when modelling architecture from cad drawings.

That last update is a very good one!! Do like the wood material with scratches! great touch!

[djflod]

yep ... i like it too ... very nice work bubba (as always )

[Bubbaloo]

Thanks! BTW, that wood material is off of the mxm site. I think it is a chopping board.

Added a glass and a plastic cup. (The cap to the blue highlighter is inside the green cup.) I plan on making that cup my pen holder and eventually putting some water in the glass.
