Modeling a bedroom suite - Tutorial for beginners  

In this new tutorial for 3dsmaxresources.com, I will be showing you how to model a complete bedroom. It is easier than you think and a lot of fun to do so read on and enjoy.

First we need reference pictures to help us in choosing the right furniture. I almost always go to Ikea when I need inspiration for these types of models. Here is the bed I have chosen. It is quite simple to model but has lots of things to do.

First let’s start on the headboard. In the front viewport create a rectangle shape (Create>Shapes>Rectangle). Drag it out like below. Now right click it and select ‘Convert to…….Editable Spline’. Turn on the 3d snap button (circled red), right click the rectangle again, and this time choose ‘Refine’. Click twice in the middle of the rectangle to make two extra vertices.

That done right click anywhere to deselect the refine button. Now area select the two new vertices and drag them upwards. I also narrowed the rectangle a little. Press ‘1’ on the keyboard to deselect the vertex mode and from the modifier list choose ‘Extrude’.
