Basket Weave floor in 3ds Max
Groups of two or three planks or bricks, each group turned 90° to its neighbours, like the threads of a woven basket. Common in parquet and in marble mosaic.
How to make a basket weave floor in 3ds Max
- Draw the room as a closed spline, or pick a floor slab.
- Add the Floor and Tiles modifier and pick Basket Weave in the pattern grid.
- Set the plank size and how many planks make a group; an optional small square can sit between the groups, as in the classic marble basket weave.
- Render. The floor stays live: change a size and it relays itself; collapse it only when you want.
Thickness, bevel, grout, random rotation and tilt, missing boards, material IDs and UVs per tile work the same in every pattern, and so do Chamfer, Damage and Handmade. See the documentation.
