It is quite simple and has wide usage almost everywhere where it comes to create some special effects. 2008-08-14 21:41:53 http://www.geometryarts.com/index.php?id=1&did=1&rid=16 In this tutorial I will show you the way of creating tileable texture from photo. There is many methods of doing it but this one works fine with most texture types and probably in most situations. Final effect mainly depends on what texture or photo you are using and sometimes even well prepared texture isn't 100% alright because when repeated it still has elements that should be corrected. Let's see how to prepare your image and we will also try to get rid of unnecessary marks. 2008-08-03 18:16:07 http://www.geometryarts.com/index.php?id=1&did=1&rid=14 I've shown you already how to create a fire effect using 3ds max. Now it's time for something different - water effect! There is many many ways of creating it but unfortunately I will show you only one for now. You can count on more tutorials about creating water and other liquids materials and animations in the future but today let's just create a simple water material that looks brilliant and realistic. 2008-07-31 14:57:41 http://www.geometryarts.com/index.php?id=1&did=1&rid=13 In this video I will show you the difference between Edit Poly and Editable Poly. Why 3D Studio Max has these two options? They seem to be very similar so why we actually need two functions instead of one? Here you will find out why. They are being used in different situations and both has some useful features so let's watch it to discover what is going on here. 2008-07-25 00:13:15 http://www.geometryarts.com/index.php?id=1&did=1&rid=12 Hello, today I have prepared something really interesting. I've already shown how to create red ruby with quite realistic material and now it's time to create a gold! I guess you will need it many times while working on your projects because gold is being used in many cases like for instance rings, bullions, coins or some decorations on your scenes. Material I will present here can be modified in many ways depending on what effects you are looking for so as usually try to play with settings and especially light. 2008-07-23 17:50:32 http://www.geometryarts.com/index.php?id=1&did=1&rid=11 In this tutorial I will will show you how to create simple fire effect, then animate it and save your work on HDD. You will probably want to use fire and similar effects very often if you are working on animations so here I will explain how to do it in just a few minutes! 2008-07-22 19:21:05 http://www.geometryarts.com/index.php?id=1&did=1&rid=10 Have you ever thought about creating some kind of very realistic animation that looks almost like real world? Here I will show you how to animate cloth using reactor. It will look quite realistic and can be done in just a few minutes. Reactor is a powerful physics simulator that helps a lot with creating realistic animations as well as special and visual effects effects in a easy way. There is another huge advantage because reactor does most of the work instead of you. Imagine what can you do with animated cloth :). Flag? Table cloth? Flying carpet? Anyway, let's see how to animate it. 2008-07-20 18:39:19 http://www.geometryarts.com/index.php?id=1&did=1&rid=9 This tutorial will teach you how to create a ring with the ruby that was created previously. I'll also show you how to set the materials, scene and lights using rendering engine v-ray for this purpose.
