3dtotal – Aquarium – 3DS Max
This 38-page tutorial series is split into six chapters and endeavors to give you an insight into how a fully realized 3D scene may be arrived at from beginning to end. The tutorial covers everything from concept sketches through to building the 3D scene, mapping and unwrapping, texturing and eventually to lighting and rendering, culminating in a final render. The emphasis over the course of the series is on the texturing, which is covered in two of the six installments, and principally the aging and wear of materials. Continue Reading
Over the last few years, we have received an incredible number of requests from 3ds Max users at all skill levels suggesting that we create a book that illustrates the process of creating a 3D visualization project from start to finish and step-by-step. As a result of these requests, we are pleased to announce the production of our 5th book, 3ds Max 2011 ? One Project From Start to Finish. This book is the most comprehensive guide to completing a 3D visualization project ever produced, and we have commissioned one of the best, and most respected 3D visualization firms in the world, Cat-a-pult, to help write this one of a kind book. The intent of the book is to show in great detail, each step of the visualization process, as applied to one very unique visualization project and every facet of the design and creation process will be illustrated.

This eBook tutorial series resolves around the use of 3D as a starting point for digital painting. In particular we will explore the value of Google SketchUp, a free program enabling users to quickly build 3d environments using a set of intuitive tools.
This technique is used by many contemporary artists and is a quick and effective way to establish correct perspective as well as offering a moveable camera in order to experiment with compositions.
