3d experiment

today we played around with 3ds max. and we made a teapot . the way we did this was we clicked the geometry tool and there was a list of shapes we could make i chose the teapot and then i clicked and dragged on the screen and then this made a teapot shape.
after that we made 3d typography. the way we did this was we clicked shapes and then a list came up so we selected the text option. then we clicked on the screen and then we chose modify. we went to modifier list and chose extrude. this made the text 3d. and after that we cloud move it and rotate it were we wanted
 
after we made a box and right clicked on it and chose convert to and then we chose convert to editable poly. we were then able to shape it by using the vertex and polygon tools. then we selected polygon and clicked the extrude box and then we were able to move each section of the box either out or inwards after we were finished moving the boxes we went to modifier list and selected turbo smooth this made the boxes edges smooth.
then we added textures to the text  the way we did this was we clicked rendering and then material editor and then compact material editor. a window opened with circles on it we selected the first one and clicked diffuse and then bitmap which let us add a image we wanted. i repeated this for each letter but with different images. after i had to add light to it so i put a 'plain' down i did this by clicking geometry and plain. after i went to lighting and selected target spot. i dragged my mouse in the direction that i wanted the light, after that i could change the intensity and colour of the light i did this by changing the multiplier to a higher number. next to the multiplier box there is a box that lets you change the colour
 
the way i made this image is i made my text in the 3d program and then i saved it as a png and opened it up in photoshop after that i got a picture off of the Internet and put it as a background. the way i coloured the text with a rainbow is i added a clipping mask above the text layer and coloured were i wanted the colours and then i just lowered the opacity
