Creating a Sand Creature with Prime Focus Krakatoa

In this new 3D Studio Max tutorial from Max Cookie we’ll continue to talk about Prime Focus Krakatoa. We’ll take a look at the possibility to create a volume picking an animated mesh, and then how to make a good setup to create a basic sand creature. This will be 1st step to create our 1st monster made completely of sand, in the past article we saw how to create grainy sand, now we’ll see how to render a volume of sand, so it will be really simple to merge the two techniques to achieve a complete and realistic result.

Creating an Aged Wall Part 1

In this new 3D Studio Max Tutorial we’ll start to talk about aging effect to achieve a more realistic result. This tutorial series will be splitted in different part. In part 1 we’ll take a look at the basic simple modeling using standard primitives, then we’ll start to prepare basic daylight illumination using MR Sky and MR Sun objects. We’ll prepare a base scene using Arch&design shader to obtain a clean version of a urban wall and then we’ll start using composite maps and procedural maps as noise and gradient ramp to change its look adding aging effect, dirt area, broken area etc

Creating a Basket of Potatoes Part 2

Hello and welcome to the second installment of my tutorial! In this tutorial, I will be walking you through the process of texturing the bucket full of potatoes on dry muddy soil. In the previous installment, we have modelled and laid out UVs for the following shot: By the time we are done, the result will look somewhat like this:

Tip: Eye Control in 3D Studio Max 2010

In this new tip video tutorial for 3ds max 2010, we’ll take a look on a simple technique to create a pair of toony eyes and how to create an automatic way to control its orientation. We’ll use two simple sphere primitives, and then we’ll create a simple standard material for the eye color, just using a Gradient Ramp map. Our basic orientation rig will be obtained using a Look At controller and a standard dummy object.

Creating a Basic Character Rig

In this tutorial for 3ds max 2010, we’ll continue working on a basic character rig. We’ll create the arms, hands, and the head just using same bones structure as the previous tip tutorial, then we’ll add some dummies to controls all the IK chain created for the hands. We’ll add a simple head mesh, and we’ll add a simple Look At controller to have the possibility to control its orientation. We need to add a general dummy able to move the entire structure using the link feature. Last part of the tutorial will be used to add a simple mesh to add an automatic breath controller using a Noise Float controller over the scale value.

Tip: Add custom UI objects all over the viewports

In this new tip tutorial for 3ds max 2010, we’ll take a look at the Manipulators. This feature is really useful to add custom UI objects all over the viewports, and linking it directly to objects or scene parameters to be able to interact with it in real time in viewport. In our example we’ll create two slider manipulators and we’ll link it to a mesh scale value and a procedural map parameters to change dynamically the material diffuse and the size of a sphere directly in viewport with no need to open material editor or scale it manually. To link the manipulator to the various parameters we’ll use the Wire Parameter feature

Creating Hair in 3D Studio Max 2010

In this Video tutorial for 3ds max 2010, we’ll start talking about how we can use Hair and Fur module to create hair stuffs. We’ll follow some basic steps to understand how we can create hair just over some polys, and then we’ll see how to control hair density, length, shading. We’ll add some splines, and we’ll follow right pipeline to use multiple splines as hair guides, and we’ll see how to control it in real time to adjust the hair look. Then we’ll take a look at various parameters to control the stylish, the color, and how to add more chaos and realism to it, as mutant color variation, frizz, kink and multi strand effect. Just to finalize tutorial part 1, we’ll see a little bit of lighting and rendering parameters to understand how to create shadows and how to optimize global illumination look over the hair.

Achieve Realistic Caustics in 3D Studio Max with Mental Ray

For simple materials, realistic lighting isn’t too difficult to achieve, however, with transparent or translucent materials, glossy materials, liquids and others, achieving realistic lighting can be a bit tougher. The key to working with lighting for these types of materials is caustics. Caustics is light rays being reflected or refracted through a material, creating a focused light ray on the other side of the material. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to achieve simple yet realistic caustics in 3D Studio Max.
