Today we will learn how to model Living Room furniture.

You will also learn how to create a

basic room with illumination. At bottom of tutorial you will find link to download sample of
this tutorial in .max, .3ds, .obj formats. Lets move on.
Step 1: To start off this tutorial lets create a simple shelf. To do this, from Create,
Geometry, Extended Primitives create a Chamferbox with the Length of 145.0cm, the Width
of 85.0cm and the Height of 2.0cm. Set the Fillet amount to 0.1cm and change all the
segments to 1. Uncheck the Smooth box. Create another box with the Length 3.0cm, the
Width 105.cm and the Height 20.0cm. Change the Fillet amount to 0.1cm. Using the Select
and Move tool hold down Shift to clone this last Box. Select it, press Shift and move it down,
in Clone Options chose Copy and change the number of clones to 2. Now using the Select
and Move tool position the box in all view to fit like below. Note: Press V to change
viewports. Press ALT+W to switch between 1 viewport and 4 viewports.

Step 2: Select all 4 boxes, click on Group on the main toolbar and select group to group the
objects together. Change the name to Simple_Shelf or whatever and click OK. To change the
color of the objects just click on little colored box in Modify tab, select your desired color
and click OK.

Step 3: From, Create, Geometry, Standard Primitives create a new Box with the Length of
145.0cm, the Width of 145.0cm and the Height of 30.0cm. Change the Length and Width

segments to 3 and the Height segment to 1. To convert the box to Editable Poly right click
on the screen and click on Convert to>Convert to Editable Poly.

Step 4: Go in Modify tab and go in Edge selection mode. Select the 4 middle edges and click
on Loop, with 32 edges selected click on the little box next to Chamfer, change the amount
to 1.0cm and click OK.

Step 5: Select the 10 side polygons and Extrude them with an amount of 2.0cm.

Step 6: Now select the Top and the Bottom polygons and Extrude them with an amount of
3.5cm.

Step 7: Select the polygons you see selected below and Extrude them with an amount of
2.0cm.

Step 8: Again select the polygons you see selected below and Extrude them with an amount
of -29.0cm.

Step 9: Go in Edge selection mode and press CTRL+A to select all edges, now Chamfer them
with an amount of 0.1cm.

Step 10: Create a new Chamferbox with the Length of 48.2cm, the Width of 98.7cm and the
Height of 2.0cm. Also make the Fillet amount 0.1cm. Clone it holding down Shift and using
the Select and Move tool position the boxes as you see below.

Step 11: Create one new Chamferbox, Length: 0.5cm, Width: 47.1cm, Height: 28.0cm and
Fillet: 0.05cm. Fillet segs: 2. Clone it and position both of the boxes as you see below.

Step 12: From Create, Geometry, Standard Primitives create a Cylinder with Radius: 0.3cm,
Height 1.2cm, Height Segs: 1, Cap Segs: 2 and Side: 18. Position it right below the previous
created box. This will be his holder. Also Convert the Cylinder to Editable Poly.

Step 13: Make a Loop selection of the edges and Chamfer them with an amount of 0.12cm
and 10 segments.

Step 14: Go in Element selection mode, select the element, hold down Shift and clone it 3
times. When asked chose Clone to Element. You now should have 2 in one side and 2 in the
other, use Select and Rotate to turn them 180 degrees. Add a Smooth modifier from the
modifier list and check the box for Autosmooth.

Step 15: Create another Chamferbox with the Length 0.5cm, the Width 50.0cm, the Height
96.3cm and the Fillet 0.05. Also change the Fillet segs to 2. Make a Clone of it and position
them to fit the object.

Step 16: Create a new Cylinder with the Radius 2.5cm, the Height 1.6cm, 1 Height segment,
2 Cap segments and 18 Sides. Convert it to Editable Poly.

Step 17: With the new created Cylinder selected and the Box right behind it right click on
the screen and click on Hide Unselected. This will all the objects except the Cylinder and the
Chamferbox. To unhide them simply select Unhide all.

Step 18: Make a Ring selection of the outer edges and Connect the with 2 Segments.

Step 19: Again hide everything else except the Cylinder. Select the middle polygons and
Extrude them with an amount of -0.5cm and the type Local Normal.

Step 20: Make a Loop selection of the edges and Chamfer them with an amount of 0.1cm
and 4 Segments.

Step 21: Again in element selection mode clone the element 3 times and position it like
below to fit the chamferbox(glass) with the middle. Also add a Smooth modifier to it.

Step 22: Create a new Cylinder with the Radius amount of 0.8cm and the Height of 20.0cm.
Height segments: 1, Cap segments: 2 and 32 sides. Convert it to Editable poly.

Step 23: In edge selection mode make a Loop selection of ends the edges and Chamfer them
with an amount of 0.15cm and 6 segments.

Step 24: Select the Back 4 polygons the will intersect with the furniture and Extrude them
with an amount of 0.3cm.

Step 25: Make the polygons planer to X.

Step 26: Clone it, position them like below and add a Smooth modifier.

Step 27: Create a new box with the Length of 94.0cm, the Width 145.0cm the the Height
40.0cm. Convert it to Editable Poly.

Step 28: Like we did in the previous step first Extrude top and the bottom polygons with an
amount of 3.5cm them extrude the outer polygons with an amount of 2.0cm and chamger
all the edges with an amount of 0.1cm.

Step 29: Create 4 new chamferboxes like we previous did. 2 of them with the Length of
46.8cm, Width of 96.5cm, Height 2.0cm and Fillet 0.1cm. The other 2 with the Length of
23.3cm, Width of 48.4cm, Height 2.0cm and Fillet 0.1cm. Using Select and Move tool
position them to fit the object in all views.

Step 30: Copy the handles we previously made 6 times and position them like below.

Step 31a: For the support of the shelf create a new Chamferbox with the Length of 4.0cm,
the Width of 15.0cm, the Height of 4.0cm and the Fillet of 0.1cm. Clone it 3 time and
position it in every corner.

Step 31b: You can Group the object we created until now like you see below.

Step 32: Copy the first created shelf to the right, Delete one of the boxes and lower the
main box length to 105.0cm.

Step 33: To create the shelf/stand create a box with the Length of 50.0cm, the Width of
100.0cm and the Height of 40.0cm. Change the Length segments to 2. Convert the box to
Editable Poly. Extrude the side lower right polygon with an amount of 100.0cm. Using
Connect connect the edges with 1 segment and a Slide of 40. Now Extrude the Top right
polygon with an amount of 25.0cm. Extrude the top side right polygon with an amount of
70.0cm. Extrude it again with 100.0cm and again only this time the bottom polygon with an
amount of 25.cm.

Step 34: Select the Top and the Bottom polygons and Extrude the with 3.0cm.

Step 35: Extrude the outer polygons with an amount of 2.0cm.

Step 36: Chamfer all the edges with an amount of 0.1cm.

Step 37: Create new boxes for the drawers like you see below. Also copy the holders and the
handles for this new shelf.
