Follow Me!by Today I will write about this little tiny thing that I encountered this very afternoon. I was working in 3ds Max on a lovely toilet model (3D pooper ftw!) and as I attempted to export an .OBJ file I got this crazy warning message saying that there is a “rats nest in mesh “Water”. Yap. That’s the official name for the warning – the rats nest 😀 which I find to be pretty amazing and clever 🙂 It doesn’t say anything more…
Follow Me!by Unwrap UVW modiefier in 3dsMax is a pain in the ass (first sentence and I am cursing already..) Anyone who has had used it knows what I’m talking about. I think there is no person on earth who would enjoy the unwrapping fun. It is just confusing and can be terribly frustrating. Especially if you are dealing with some complex geometry. But other than it is an amazing tool and like it or not you must use it…
Follow Me!by So it is time for another simple 3ds Max tutorial about a very simple thing- Vray Glass 🙂 I know it is very basic and boring, but for those of you that are just beginning your 3D journey this kind of stuff (basic tutorials) is very needed, I know, I was there too 🙂 Glass is one of those materials that is constantly needed and you always end up making something that requires this transparent shiny material 🙂 So…
Follow Me!by In my previous posts I did my noob’ish tutorial on how to make a Standard Wood Material from my own experience gathered around the web. But today I want to share with you with a gem that I found browsing the web some time ago in search of great 3ds Max tutorials for Vray Wood Material. And did I stumbled upon a greatness itself? 😀 Yes, I did indeed. I won’t even try to write steps of this tutorial,…
Follow Me!by So we did prepare all of the textures that we need for Wood material in tutorial Part 1. Go see and read it if you haven’t read it already. So we can be on the same page 🙂 So let’s make some wood! 😀 For starters create a simple shape, say a simple box mesh inside your Viewport. (If you use a box mesh don’t forget to apply the UVW Map modifier from modifiers list and choose Box mapping layout)…
Follow Me!by As you may (or may not) already know, that I have modeled my own apartment in 3ds Max. Logically I had to built quite a lot of objects that require Wood material. As I did this with the idea, that I had to import the whole mesh into Unity I didn’t try to do something fancy, because Unity (and any other 3D engine, I believe) best supports (if not only) objects with Standard material applied to them. Unity simply…
Follow Me!by As I was finishing with this grand project (previous post) I kept thinking of what should I do next. After I tried exterior/interior scene modeling I was quite sure I wanted to explore this side of 3D a bit more. So I’ve decided to build the whole apartment that I am currently living in, because, why not? 😀 It is always easiest to build something that is literally around you. And you don’t need to search for reference images, cause…
