Making an HDRI of your own

The goal of this tutorial is to show you how to make your own hdr image, and then (optionally) use it for either lighting, reflections or both in a simple scene. This tutorial uses max 5, and in this case, uses brazil for rendering. Although the concepts are pretty universal here, since the main goal is the creation of the hdr image.

Modeling creature's details

I have always believed that the smaller details are the ones that make the difference.Having said that, this tutorial isn't about making your model from scratch, its about taking your creature (dragon, serpent, orc, demon etc') and giving it personality with those details. I will go through all the major points of adding these details using my dragon model to demonstrate it, starting with how to setup the topology of your model to prepare it for the modeling and then move on to the modeling, starting with creating a basic spike/horn, creating fins of all sorts, modeling the bottom scales / spines, and ending up with using those techniques to create a dragon's wing

Candle - model,shaders,render - 55 min.

In this almost 1 whole hour! tutorial we'll model a candle standing on a table from scratch, once the model is complete we'll UVW map the table and then bring the UVWmap into photoshop to texture it. We'll use displacement to add detail to the table. Then we use a Mental Ray SSS (sub surface scattering) shader to give the candle a realistic look and to finish off use volume light for some atmosphere around the whole scene. In the last part we'll also use photoshop to take our final result a little further by adding glow and some smoke.
