Modelling the Eagle

One thing that I have learnt about 3D Max is it is a very time consuming piece of software and you can spend ages trying to perfect a model. I think this was one of my problems as I spent ages trying to perfect the eagle by editing the vertices and the edge too much. This proved a big problem for me because as I was moving some of the body about the other parts started to look distorted. I tried to fix this problem but it got so bad that I decided I had made too much of a mess to be able to save the image. Rather than starting again I decided to use a different approach to achieve my model which some of my class mates had used and this was to attach an image onto a plane and model this way. I was disapointed having to start again because at one stage my eagle was starting to take great shape and I felt I was actually getting somewhere but I will just look at it as a learning experience as it has helped me become more experieced with the 3D Max software.

The eagle image in 3D Max before I started again as you can see a basic shape is starting to form.
