Hi everyone. In this 3D modeling tutorial we will show you how to create a desk using 3D Studio Max 2011.

We will cover only the modeling part. We will use Connect, Chamfer, Inset, Extrude, Bevel, Attach, etc to achieve our result. Also modifiers like Extrude and Shell will be used.

Let's move on!

Ambient occlusion adds great realism to your renders, but can be bit cumbersome to setup in Max, particular if you’re using a mix of Mental Ray shaders and standard shaders.You could create an ambient occlusion effect by using lights, but it can be slow to render and tricky get the right look.

So if you want to skip all that, you can simply use a material override in your render options to get the job done, it’s super fast and gives you the added bonus of having the ambient occlusion in a separate pass.

As a separate pass you can adjust and manipulate to your hearts desire without affecting the rest of your render.
