Like the snow material; while working on the game I needed a new material for one of the levels. I wated crusted lava, but the one that comes with 3DS Max looks more like diseased alien skin than lava. I wanted a hot cracked look. So with the help of some online information, some slabs [...]

I have been a user of 3DS Max since the DOS version when it was called 3D Studio. Now that we have purchased the 2011 version I would like to add my two cents to the 3D modeling world regarding 3DS Max 2011. The more I use the new version the happier I am, however [...]

As you might know, the video game industry moves at the speed of light, so it is difficult to keep up sometimes. Luckily for us one of the companies we do work for found that we were in need of a new render box (as well as other hardware). We have been told before by [...]

I have been using 3D Studio since the DOS version in the 90’s. I have developed some time saving, and sometimes project saving procedures I would like to pass along here. Now I do currently use an older version of 3D Studio so improvements in performance and crashing issues have more than likely improved, but [...]

Letter box TVs have always had a16:9 aspect ratio. Meaning that for every 16 pixels in the horizontal there are 9 pixels in the vertical. However this is not always the case with computers, especially laptop displays. It is quite common anymore to find laptops with a 16:10 aspect ratio. The problem here is cross [...]
