Introducing reactor

reactor is a plug-in for 3ds max that allows animators and artists to easily control and simulate complex physical scenes. reactor supports fully integrated rigid and soft body dynamics, cloth simulation, and fluid simulation. It can simulate constraints and joints for articulated bodies. It can also simulate physical behaviors such as wind and motors. You […]

Hull Damage

Want to know how to tear up your favorite starship without actually messing up the mesh? Use textures. We could start with a sphere but that’d be too easy. Grab your favorite mesh instead. The easiest way to apply even burn marks over a whole mesh is if the mesh is one attached object. That’s […]

Cigarette smoke

For this tutorial I assume you got a fair bit of brain and experience with 3D Studio MAX. Reset your scene and start by making a cone with radius1: 10, radius2: 150, Height: 800, Height segments: 80, Sides: 40 and mark the “Generate Mapping Coords” This will make the basic sharp of the smoke. It […]

Explosion Tutorial

This tutorial explains how to make cool-looking explosions like these: However, the user must have a basic knowledge of MAX and some of its functions, like creating combustion gizmos, the video post basic functions, omni lights, etc. Now, without further rambling… 1. Create a SphereGizmo anywhere in the scene. Just place it somewhere in a […]

Procedural Shaders

Click here! Intro: This is an introduction to procedural maps. I wrote an article in 2000 explaining roughly how I created a magma shader I had created earlier, unfortunantly during that time I didn’t really have any free time to really focus on it. So the article became a bit hard to follow, plus my […]

Lighting

We draw a skeleton of the future lightning.For this purpose simply arrange in a frontal window of a projection of a line how it seems lightning to you looks.Then, using tool Loft, create volumetric curves. In quality Shape it is possible to use object Rectangle. In Modify establish for each received object value Shape Steps […]

Making of “Chaleur et paix” by Mohammed Khalil

Reference: I was looking for some references that could help me put things together. Basically I was aiming for a dramatic shot of an ancient passage, and so after doing some research I came up with these references: Modeling: Most of the objects in the scene were poly modeled. I believe poly modeling is more […]

Modelling of cast disc

Part 1.(inner part of disc)So,to create any disc we need no less than 2 photos of this disc: a) in face (to be used as drawing) b) side-view (to visualize disc profile) To begin with, one main advice-modelling any subject (not only the disc) every 2 minutes look at the photo Open 3D Studio Max […]

Coke can

A key to realistic 3D animation is in the texture maps. While pristine textures often look nice, aging materials effectively can sometimes be out of reach to many animators. In this entry level tutorial Dave Wilson demonstrates one way to make a can look like it has been kicked around and left for dead by […]

Car

This tutorial is complex from the point of view of modeling, because the user will pass thorough different techniques like surface tools(spline modeling), mesh edit (polygonal modeling), mesh smooth. This tutorial is not recommended to beginners, although they will learn some useful tricks from here. The tutorial is entirely conceived in 3D Studio Max 3.0 […]
