1. Basically you need 2 splines to create 3D object using lofting. Create rectangle (in Command Panel, click Create>Shapes>Rectangle).
1. Open 3ds max. In Command Panel go to Create>Shapes>Splines. Click Star button. Click and drag in Front viewport to create star object. Use values like in image below.
In sci-fi movies, you often saw a monster with tentacles lurking around. In this tutorial you will create tentacle animation using lofting in 3ds max. Not limited to tentacle animation, you can also use this technique in several animation, such as growing vines, cable animation, or else. Actually, you can also create tentacle animation using Path Deform. But in this tutorial I only use Lofting.
This tutorial will teach you how to model a middle-eastern style lantern using splines and loft. Loft objects are two-dimensional shapes extruded along a third axis. One of these splines serves the path while the remaining splines serve as cross-sections, or shapes, of the loft object. Here is an example of the result that we are going to make by the end of this tutorial.

It is not by accident that we chose the loft command in max to use for making a boat. It is exactly the samy thing done in real life for centuries.
