The 1st thing I ever did in 3DS Max was recreating the Saturn V or Apollo 11 Rocket. It was the 1st assignment on the 3D Module and I ended up doing it twice as my 1st Rocket was too small and fat. Here is the work flow video I made from the renders I took as I went, followed by the actual assignment animation and lastly the final assignment renders. I received a Grade of 95%.
