Hey Fellow Artists! Just recently, I've finished this hairstyle asset. It's made with hair cards, fully game workflow, ready to use on a character.

If you want transparency, choose that technique from the Techniques drop-down. HLSLnormal_map_specular_3lights_trans_lightmap.fx I hope this is what you wanted. Let me know how it goes and if you…
Hey guys, I'm in the process of putting the final touches on a character rig in 3DS Max using CAT rigging. While I was originally going to do a simple eyebrow, eyelid and jaw bone setup, I find myself with a little extra time and want to do a couple of mouth bones for additional expressions. However, whenever I add a new…
and finally... The Dragon i did for a friendly contest between me, Bruno Camara and Bruno Melo. You can find the Contest Thread here . We decided to do a mini-contest with a medieval theme just to keep exploring and praticing on our spare time. The main shot is rendered with 3dsMax+ Vray and composed in Photoshop. The…
