Making a 3ds Max scene using Reactor Water and Reactor Cars

Hi there and welcome to this fun, easy tutorial which is going to teach you a couple more things about Reactor. Here’s the scenario. Two cars are going to come speeding down a track, bumping into each other and off against the walls, jump over a ramp and then fall into a swimming pool. Follow the step by step instructions as shown below.

First let’s make the pool. Go Create>Standard Primitives>Box. Drag it out in the top viewport and then click to finish. Drag again downwards to create the depth of the box and click again. Give it 3 length segments and 3 width segments.

Right click the box and choose ‘Convert to…Editable Poly’. Press 1 on the keyboard to enter vertex mode and area select the middle vertices. Right click again and choose ‘Scale’. Scale the vertices along the X axis.

Down do the same for the other vertices running along the box, only this time scale them along the Y axis.
