Hey everyone!
This week we’ll be looking at how you can start off with an image and arrive at a mosaic tile effect when you’re done. It’s a powerful and simple technique that yields a better result than the ordinary cellular map method. This system is based on using the Photoshop Filter “Stained Glass”, so most of the effort takes place outside of 3ds Max. That makes it robust enough for both low-poly and high-poly work.
Enjoy!
Hey all,
CGArena uploaded another video tutorial on basic head rigging. It’s a really juicy video tutorial, and a great way to spend an afternoon. Enjoy!
This commercial video tutorial is created by artist Loocas Duber from Duber Studios in 3ds max and given to CGArena for celebrating 10,000 members. The length of this tutorial is 1 hour which covers all the aspects of head rigging and this is very informative tutorial. Must look or download for every CG enthusiastic.
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.
Creating the hashed shading effect is easy!
Hey everyone,
This week we’re looking at how you can use the default 3dsMax Ink & Paint material to create a simple sketch effect in your renders. It works best for inorganic scenes like the thumbnail I’ve shown here. It’s a natural extension of last week’s video where we looked at how you can really juice 3dsMax beyond simply creating scenes and rendering them.
Here’s another blast from the past.
