In this tutorial, we’ll see how to create perforated panels whose hole distribution and size (pattern) will be controlled by a map. These types of panels are widely used in architecture, especially as accessories on facades to control ventilation and shading.
Through this exercise, we’ll learn basic 3ds MAX concepts, such as the difference between an instance and a reference and how to control the stack of both instanced and referenced modifiers. This way, we can have a single panel in the scene with multiple hole distribution patterns controlled by modifiers. We’ll also use some Tyflow modifiers, such as TySelect, to help us along the way.
