This is a metal ornament obtained by three modeling methods in 3ds max, including fundamental modeling, modifier modeling, composite modeling, etc. The purpose of using multiple methods is to expect us to further understand the characteristics of different methods and modifiers in the creation of scene / model, so as to expand our ideas; Be able to flexibly use a variety of methods to achieve the same goal by different paths and quickly complete the scene and model.

　　1、 Fundamental modeling

　　Metal ornaments are composed of sphere, cylinder and other basic shapes, so they can complete the model by stacking through the built-in model (basic body and extended body) in the command panel after basic operations such as moving, rotating, array and imitation.

　　2、 Modifier modeling

　　The modifier here mainly refers to the lattice modifier. Because the metal ornament in the fundamental modeling is a typical truss structure, which is in line with the characteristics of "lattice": it is composed of pole sphere and column. Therefore, directly add the "lattice" modifier to the cube model and modify the corresponding parameters to obtain the model in Figure 1. The meaning of modifier parameters is well understood and does not need to be explained.

　　3、 Compound modeling

　　In the fundamental modeling, the metal pendulum can be regarded as the pole orientation of 27 spheres evenly distributed on the surface of a cube. Combined with this feature, it can be completed by using the "distribution" command in composite modeling. Of course, after the distribution operation, in order to obtain the column model and reduce the number of polygons in the scene, we continue to add the "modify polygon" modifier, delete the polygon sub target, retain the edge sub target, and display it as a three-dimensional effect, then the metal ornament is finished.

　　According to the needs of the scene, give the decoration metal raw materials (using standard raw materials), increase the light (the main light source is the target parallel light in the standard light source, considering the three-point light distribution principle), draw a plane to receive the shadow, and use two cylinders as the base to obtain the following effect picture.
