In 3dsMax 2009 we have the ability to simulate indirect illumination, which is the natural process of how objects reflect diffuse light energy in real life. This allows for more realistic and natural looking renders. There are many ways to imitate indirect illumination, however in this video we will focus on using the powerful Radiosity feature in 3dsMax 2009 to reproduce this natural light phenomenon. read more

Welcome back to everyone. We are back again for a new tutorial and this time we’ll talk about procedural shading used to create in a very fast way a CG Sea. read more

This tutorial will show you how to create a waterfall scene using particle system in 3dsmax. This time, we will not use Particle Flow, instead we use traditional Particle System called Blizzard. Based on complexity of waterfall we will create, it is enough to use simple Particle System like Blizzard. read more

In this tutorial we will learn how to make an Awesome Space Scene in 3D Max using Vray Render.read more

In this tutorial I will show you how to make a lightsaber glow effect. This was done in Max 5, so not Advanced Lighting Override was used. For the modelling part I will not insist because is really simple. So lets begin read more

In this video, from “Rendering with mental ray in 3ds Max 2010”,learn how to combine two of mental ray’s most powerful features,Global Illumination and Final Gather. Discover how to use these two indirect illumination algorithms together in order to render photo-realistic images fast and easy. read more

create a custom shader plug-in that will work as a standard material.read more

In this tutorial you will create earthquake effect. You will create shaking and cracking ground, splitting two areas creating a longitudinal hole. Not only applied as earthquake, you will also can apply this effect as cracking ice effect. This tutorial is divided into 4 parts, where first part is creating customize ground object, where earthquake take place. You will create this tutorial from scratch. read more
