The task for week 2 was to create a chess using an Adobe Illustrator to make a drawing with pen tool (a half of the chess) and then to import it to 3Ds max. Later to convert 2d figure to 3d the hierarchy tab was clicked and pivot was selected (affecting pivot only). Then move tool and 'lathe' were chosen to make the figure being 3d. Choosing 'weld core' the chess became solid and looks like the real one.
