|
| Hi! Before I'm starting to explain the whole thing, I'd like to tell you, what this tutorial is about. I made a small Star Trek video with my webcam. I had some real starship models and I wanted to add some visual effects such as phasers, explosions or just simple text objects to the video. I will explain how to set an AVI file as background image for the viewports and as environment map, so that ... |

| ADDING GLOW EFFECTS TO YOUR SCENE (VIDEO POST BASICS)2004/2/10 4183x |
|
| Hello! When I first got started with 3D-Studio MAX, (those were the days with 3DSMAX 1.0 without any graphical gimmicks like in 3DSMAX 4.2 :-)), I wondered about how to add some glow effects to the engines of the starship, I created. Everything, I tried, did not work properly or just looked bad. However, a friend of mine is also very interested in MAX and he told me how to use MAX's "Video Post" ... |

| AFTERBURN: AN INTRODUCTION2003/3/30 2791x |
|
| This is pretty much a breakdown of everything within Afterburn, essentially describing alot of the features and elements of Afterburn. To start off, assuming everyone's used Afterburn at least slightly before and knows what it does. If you haven't then go play with it for a while and come back. Afterburn is a very powerful plugin but at times can really require a lot of CPU and RAM if you want ... |

| HOW TO ANIMATE WINGS USING CHARACTER STUDIO2003/11/3 4913x |
|
| For this tutorial I used 3D studio MAX R3.1 and Character Studio R2.2. I was having problem getting a good way of animating the wings until I saw a tutorial on Alcor's site the Character Factory. I started experimenting a bit with this method, and came out with the following: The biped is a great way to animate a character, but it has some limitations. The character for quake3arena I've been ... |

| EASY SUNLIGHT CREATION2004/2/10 7359x |
|
| I was just surfing through some 3D sites and I came across a sunlight-faking-tutorial. I must say, no hard feelings, that the tut that was posted at "the3dstudio" was REALLY overdone... I saw 30 to 40 lights.... I have an extremely nice computer, but , as you will all agree, sometimes your scenes are already slow rendering, even without the lights!! So I know a way to fake the sunlight faster, ... |

| The purpose of this tutorial is to show you how to create a simple light setup that simulates the shadow part of global illumination and casts nice shadows on a plane for web graphics. We will explore the settings for shadow maps and compare quality and render speed. All of the objects and materials come standard with max, and it doesn't matter if you are using max3 or max4. This tutorial was ... |

| SIMULATING DOF IN 3DSMAX RENDERS USING PHOTOSHOP2003/3/30 2293x |
|
| Depth of Field (DOF) is the total distance, on either side of the point of focus, which , when viewed from an appropriate distance, APPEARS sharp in the final print. This is an effect in photography produced by light being bent in the cameras lens. In 3D there is no lens and therefore your 3D package will need to fake DOF. One problem found in most 3d rendering systems is that your program will ... |

| AutoCAD is a very flexible tool and it can be used for a wide variety of tasks. However, one thing you can't do with AutoCAD is animate a 3D model. You can, of course, create slides of perspective views and show them one after the other using a script file (see "Perspectives, Slides and Scripts" for details) but this doesn't begin to approach the quality of animation which can be produced with ... |
