Create aWooden Barrel with 3D Studio Max

 by Arxwn

 

 
 

In this tutorial I'll show u how to make a simple but fairly realistic wooden barrel.

 
 
 

We begin by creating a box.
 





 
We then use array to create copies of our box along its thinner side.
 




 
Convert one of the boxes to editable poly and using the attach tool attach all the copies to a single mesh.
 
Select the new mesh and add a bend modifier.
 
 





 
Real barrels have metal rings which hold the wooden pieces together.
So our barrel must have rings. Create tube rings and align them to the center of our barrel.
Make sure they have ate least 30 side segments and 5 height segments.

Group the boxes and the tubes together and choose the FFD cylinder modifier.
 




 
Select the 2 middle rows of vertices and scale them up to give the barrel its round shape
 




 
Your barrel is ready. Add a top and bottom cylinder and some textures and you are on your way
