Today we will take a simplified approach at creating a scene with a sunset over a river.
Start 3dsMax and choose "Patch Grids" category from Create Panel > Geometry.
Click on "Quad Patch" as Object Type. Then in the Top viewport, click & drag from the upper-left corner to the lower-right corner to draw a Quad Patch. This will be our land surface.
We have just opened our tutorial directory! Feel free to submit tutorials hosted on your website or other online tutorials that you think are worth mentioning.
