Interesting diagram making with 3ds max

[Etesia]

I drew Tokyo Tower a few years ago.
On my first attempt, I tried to paint it with Photoshop. But I gave up.
Eventually I had no choice but to turn on the 3ds max.

I use 3ds max at work, but I don't prefer it when I draw diagrams.
This is because drawing only with Photoshop is much faster and more intuitive.
The 3d program takes a long time and requires higher accuracy.

My method of choice is to create a frame with 3ds max, and then use Photoshop to sketch this out and draw.

In a similar way, I recently drew Karlatornet of Sweden and Vakif Bank of Turkiye.
Karlatornet and Vakif Bank are much simpler than when you drew Tokyo Tower, completed almost everything in the 3ds max, then moved to the Unity engine to roughly capture the camera angle and light angle, took the image, brought it to Photoshop, and post-processed it.

In the foundation form that started with a box, increase the mesh and twist the ends. Make the same four pieces to make a building.

Likewise, starting from a hexagonal cylinder, it creates an outer diamond structure and twists the whole thing like a twist.

I prefer to finish it from beginning to end with Photoshop
Sometimes, only buildings with complex shapes or geometric shapes are made in 3D.
CAD or sketchup are not close to me, so I enjoy using 3ds max.
of course, in the eyes of professionals, my 3D work is simple.

Impressive works!
I just drawing 2D buildings with Pixel Studio on my Huawei phone and my hand

Very special procedures of drawing. I like you drew Tokyo Tower.
(I use Photoshop to drew buildings.

Wow. Cool method, nice results

I use GIMP, which is simialr to Photoshop. I use CAD at work and guess I could try using that program, if I find any reason to.
Others at work look more into 3D programs. I've tried it but can't claim I'm any good at it.

I took a 3ds Max course years ago and gave it up because it was so complicated that it stressed me out.
Actually, I completed it, but I didn't do the final work and couldn't receive the certificate.

I just start all my drawings in the classic MS Paint and then go to Photoshop for shading, lighting, textures and small details.
Occasionally, I use SketchUp when the volumetrics are very complex and I need a more accurate representation, but I only use it as a guide.

That Tokyo Tower looks great.
