Architecture or Character?
Hey guys, Basically, I have been keen to learn how to use 3DS Max for some time now. Finally, I am able to actually begin working on that, as I recently got a copy for myself.

Racer445 - An Introduction to Subdivision (High-Poly) Modeling Tools and Techniques
So the kind and talented Racer has recorded a "new" (don't know how new it is) video on subdivision modeling, and I don't think I've seen it pimped here yet... so I'm gonna post it here (hope you don't mind Racer) and hopefully get more eyes on it.… -

Expanding Beyond Basic PBR Materials
Greetings polycount! While I feel like I have a decent understanding of the artistry behind building realistic materials, I feel like my technical know how is lacking a bit.

Re: anatomy dictionary
I dont know how to explain this but. When you start modeling something you have the front ref image, side ref image and possible top ref image.
