In the last movie, you learned how to turn mesh object into 3ds Max primitives using Primitive Maker by Garp; but the workflow you learned about is session-based. Here, you learn how to make those newly-defined primitives a permanent feature in 3ds Max.

In this movie, you turn urban design components into 3ds Max primitive using a free script called Primitive Maker by Garp. This way, you will be able to duplicate and place components in your cityscape in a very flexible and intuitive approach.

In this movie, you use the Daylight System to light the scene. The Daylight System has been shown in many a tutorial on this channel, so the explanation will be brief. You will however replace the background gradient with a custom bitmap to simulate clouds

In this movie, you use the sidewalks you created in the last movie to extract surfaces for building lots. You will also treat the building lots so that they have different textures to introduce more variety.

In this movie, you extract spline paths using the existing infrastructure to add sidewalks to the road works. To do so, you use the Sweep modifier to block out the sidewalks. You then work at an editable poly level to fine-tune the results.

In this movie, you create variations for the inner roads. In order to tile the city blocks, you need the perimeter and the center cross roads to remain constant, but you can have variations with the smaller inner roads.

In this movie, you work on road intersections.You start with the cross intersection at the center of the city block, and then you use that intersection as a template to create others.
