Well Daz, the result turned out great. That's all that matters! Did you use any color in his spec map, or was it purely an intensity map? On the same site as Daz's tutorial, there's also an old tutorial from J-J-J Mortimer. He has some info about specular color, though it looks like he used two maps as combo specular and…
Hello all, my name is Jacob and i am very new to 3d modeling. I used to be a level designer, but one day a couple of weeks ago i came across some tutorials on modeling in 3ds Max. Now i never considered myself much of an artist but gave these tutorials a shot because i was interested. I was hooked, and after going through…
2012 side project has begun! I did some tutorials back in 2009 on YouTube, a fire & destruction tutorial which was pre-fracture. I got a lot of emails asking for more www.explosions-rainbows.com So I decided to create a fx podcast this year. Making things that would look good for someone's portfolio and talking through my…
haven't done them all but i've seen a few tutorials covering cars for maya on pluralsight. Pluralsights pretty cheap -- $30 a month I think. also some intro to maya tutorials that show you how to build drones, spaceships -- same skill set. good thing about pluralsight or one of those other big video libraries like 3dmotive…
I would assume this is allready baked. The reason is that he made the texture tiling so that some of the end bricks gets cutoff in the texture. You should check out some tutorials on how to do tiling textures. Basicly the baking process comes down to having a large wall of bricks and then just placing your box/plane where…
Can you post what you have? To add textures to a building, it's advised to do a uv unwrap of an object, create a diffuse and other texture maps in an editing program like Photoshop, and attach them to a material which you then assign to the object in 3DS Max. I've been following these tutorials which cover almost…
It's been a long time since I last posted but I haven't been idle. I started a tutorial about this last month but I just realized how difficult to explain the workflow was. But after a month I finally finished it :smiley: You can get it on Gumroad for free here I also included the texture I'm making in this tutorial ! Here…
ok, yeah i'm kinda noticing the "cutoutness" of my work. i do want it to look more seamless and cohesive. would say i should paint edges and make it seem together. any gumroad or tutorials you recommend? I'm assuming Barnstone is a concept or design related studio offering tutorials. I'll look into for sure. If you know…

Day 4: I finished "Anvil" tutorial by Blender Guru, amazing stuff. I decided that for each finished tutorial I will try apply it and create something new. Yesterday I started working on a sword. Made just quick sketch in PS. Based on that I started working on a Model, Unwrap & did some basic sculpting. Notes: Will have to…
