This is a project in my second Max class in college. The assignment was to do an exploded view assembly animation. All the major pieces are modeled separately and I will separate them to begin the animation. I haven't spent much time with materials or lighting, as nothing is finalized as of yet. Also, we have a deadline, so certain details have to be compromised to achieve the final results. This was modeled with some spline work and extrusions, all polys, and NO meshsmooth. I realize there are a few edges that could be beveled a bit more....



And here's a shot of all the pieces, loosely arranged...



Any criticism, constructive or otherwise, would be greatly appreciated!
