maxwell materials introduction

 

 

So after many requests we have finally started to cover how to create Maxwell materials.  So to start things off we are going to cover base materials, glass, metal, and textured materials with displacement maps.  I know that a lot of you out there are using different modeling software but the use of the Maxwell Material editor is pretty universal.  In this video we were using 3DS Max as our modeling software.  We have also attached the working files that we using in the making of this tutorial so if you are having trouble on your end you can just download the working files and see where you are going wrong.

 

As always if you have any questions feel free to email us or comment in the comment box below. Thanks guys for checking out our videos.

Got an email from a August in Sweden with a specific question about wall joints at roof connections. In this tutorial we will cover attaching walls to the underside of roofs and some inplace modeling for a custom roof joint.

3ds max scripts page!

 

 

That is right we have decided to post the Max scripts that we use. Feel free to download them. We must tell you though that we did not write all of these scripts. If we didn't the author and their website will be noted next to the download link. Please visit their websites and thank them for being so generous as to share their scripts with the rest of the world.

iray rendering

 

 

This tutorial shows how to create quick renderings in 3D Studio Max using the newer non biased Autodesk render engine iray. Iray uses many settings, materials, and concepts as Mental Ray, however, because of its unbiased abilities it make iray a much more friendly render engine to use. We will walk through how to set up an iray scene with photometric mental ray lights, material settings, max scrips, and render settings.
