Hello everyone,

I was putting together my Monday Movie last week, and I realized that the 3dsMax Ink n Paint material is pretty robust.  In this primer, we’ll be walking through the material looking at some visual examples of each feature.  By the time you’re done, you’ll have a firm understanding of how to use this often misunderstood material.  You’ll even walk away with a few keen tips on how to achieve unusual effects!  This first page is devoted to quickly going through the tools at our disposal.  The next page is where we’ll get rambunctious and see what crazy things we can cook up!  Everything you read here is pretty much renderer agnostic- you could use either the 3dsMax Scanline renderer or the mental ray renderer.
