We just released the final video of our 4 part interior modelling series where you will learn how to model a vintage, rustic looking interior scene from scratch. We provided all the ModelDezign 3D models used in the scene free to download for everyone to follow along including the egg chair, radiator, table, light and more. We also showed how to model a few objects like the skirting board, floorboard, door, etc. We would love to hear some feedback to know if you enjoyed the series and what you would like to see next. You can watch our entire series from start to finish here: You can access the free 3D models used in this series here: https://www.modeldezign.com/product-category/3d-model-library/ Thanks for reading, Erizon from ModelDezign

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to let you all know about a new free tutorial series I'm working on called MODO with Max. If you're like me, you use Max and lots of other different tools to do your work. If you have need to, or have just been wanting to try MODO in conjunction with your Max projects, then these videos are for you. Only the first few vids are up right now, but I have several more in the pipeline. The later videos will deal more with shifting data between the packages so stay tuned! I hope you find them useful.

Hi Everyone, I'm having some trouble choosing & applying materiality to the material maps. Can someone link a good YouTube tutorial for Materials? Thanks for the help. Once I'm able to apply the materials, I look forward to uploading my scene here for comments.

.[ATTACH=CONFIG]47291[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]47292[/ATTACH] Can anyone recommend any training material that explains in depth, advanced Vray material production? Included here are two images of a fantastic material created in Vray for use in 3D Max. I understand about Map Channels, (loading an image that scales from black to white for differing strengths of that particular effect, and altering the spinners to control that effect). But as you can see the illustrator has also altered the Reflection colour swatch to a grey and the Reflection glossiness underneath that swatch. I thought I was understanding that once you use the map channels, you didn't need to touch the top section but obviously not as this upper section does make a difference to the material. I've trawled the net for ages but keep coming across the same tutorials. Books or Dvd's I'm not bothered. Many thanks to anyone that can help.

Thought I'd share a link to this site I stumbled across. Lots of cool Photoshop tutorials, including a few showcasing some of the new tools found in CS5. http://abduzeedo.com/tutorials
