Re: Obelisk Model (Need Critiques)
I've used the wind filter in Photoshop with some success for dripping rust & dirt, but generally on much larger scale objects (warships).

Re: How to make good textures ?
The polycount wiki has a good selection of tutorials that goes more into detail. I mostly learned what I know about adding dirt,scratches, rust etc in an ideal manner from the Tracker knife tutorial.

I think tutorials can be good when you are totally new to any 3D software but other then that I would recommend to go through a project as you usually would in any software, search for tools and when you get stuck you can look up a fix for that certain problem, at least for me that helps me remember stuff better then a… -

Re: Maxi´s MP5SD
hey Maxi, This tutorial shows a good material / rendering set up to display high poly work inside of max. http://www.artemstudios.com/08Portfolio/Tutorial/MaterialRenderingTut.htm on a side note when i'm working with a high poly model i'll typically assign a standard grey material but turn up the specular. This allows you… -
Re: spore is fun :)
Maybe, I can't remember that tutorial. But you don't start with many tools, and I think all the ones you get are one-time uses that you have to rebuy every time you need them. So at the very least, you can save up money and rebuy it perhaps. But like I said, I can't remember how those tutorials looked... -
