<td>Part 1.(inner part of disc)
So,to create any disc we need no less than 2 photos of this disc:
a) in face (to be used as drawing)
b) side-view (to visualize disc profile)
To begin with, one main advice-modelling any subject (not only the disc) every 2 minutes look at the photo
Open 3D Studio Max and in Front view press the next key combination on keyboard Alt+B and the window appears:
Where press File button and select our photo in face and set as in the picture.
Further it is convenient to draw the Circle splains for good orientation. Naturally, they must be drawn at disc outline
Then we draw another three lines as in the picture:
(If you don't know geometry,it will be difficult to understand why lines must be placed at such angles). In each case you need to calculate these angles.(Note: Disc has 5 spokes, as the circle has 360 degrees to postition 5 axial lines of these spokes between them you need 72 degree angles. For normal connection of spokes in radial rotation,their edges should diverge from the central axis at 36 degrees...it is 72 halved.In the end we get 72 degree radial sector of the circle and having done this 5 times we get 360 degrees.
Create the cylinder as in the picture:
Click right mouse button on this cylinder and select convert to -> editable poly. Switch to polygon level and delete the odd polygons, we get this:1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6
