Learning the basics

Learning the main basics in 3DSmax came as a bit of a shock to me, I found that even though it is the basics there is a lot to learn just from that.
The main points I have learnt which will help me when it comes to designing and making my design and developing my ideas are the functions using 'modify' which creates the effects and using 'paint deform' which is also another form of creating effects.

My ideas for the design are based on my previous project of a high end fashion piece. The use if origami as inspiration, shapes with strong, bold and flowing forms.
