Versailles floor in 3ds Max

The French panel parquet: a square module of interlaced strips, laid on the square or on the diagonal, as in the Hall of Mirrors and every hôtel particulier since.

How to make a Versailles parquet in 3ds Max

1. Draw the room as a closed spline, or pick a floor slab.
2. Add the Floor and Tiles modifier and pick Versailles in the pattern grid.
3. Pick one of three Versailles variations and set the panel size, typically 60 to 100 cm. The module is laid whole and cut at the walls, and a border can run round it, as it usually does in a real room.
4. 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.
