This 8 and a half hour video will show you how I approach material creation in V-Ray. It’s fully narrated and I try to explain everything I’m doing. I’ll show you how to create more than 70 materials, which can be further modified to make countless variations. The techniques I’m using can be mixed and matched, or used to create completely different materials. This video will show you some tricks you can apply to your own work in more than one way. The tutorial is made using 3Ds MAX 2012 and Vray 2.2, but 99% of the techniques are applicable to earlier versions.

This class will demonstrate how to use principals of animation to create a more compelling and stylized visual effects sequence. Using a plethora of 3D applications, including 3ds Max, Maya, Houdini, Vue and FumeFX, Slim will emphasize and build upon many animation tricks and techniques, focusing on shapes, color and motion semantics. The main project will be a large scale “Magical Effect” shot. Through execution of the main project, supplemental examples will illustrate the principals used including stylized fluid simulations and ultra-stylized structure destruction.

In this tutorial we will learn to create dynamic, flexible tornado systems and render them using a variety of techniques. This tutorial will show how to set up a complex Particle Flow system to make a tornado inside of 3ds Max.

In this series of lessons we will learn some of the different techniques used to create an image from start to finish. This tutorial is aimed to show you a variety of techniques utilized to create a finished piece starting from a painting.

THIS TUTORIAL WILL MAKE YOU INTO AN AUTOMOTIVE MODELING MASTER. No, we are not speaking metaphorically. This set is the ULTIMATE automotive bodywork modeling tutorial, covering the entire chassis modeling of the BMW S1000RR - a beautiful mothercycle, a beautiful tutorial.
Learn from the master. Howard Lincoln is 3d-palace's resident Sub Division Guru. The entire bike is created in low polygon however it is created using subDivision techniques - this means at rendertime Turbosmooth with just a couple of iterations makes the bike you see in the renders on this page. Because you are working in subD, filesizes are small and refresh rates are high - no waiting 3 seconds to rotate a model! This is the BEST automotive subD tutorial available and it is ONLY available through us.

In this new exclusive Citizen tutorial, we’ll start talking about the “Anatomy of Disaster movie vfx” tutorial series...
