Project Overviews Tutorials
This is the newest section of 3DTotal's tutorial area, these tutorials are not designed to be step by step guides and are often not software specific but instead provide an insight into how great cg is created, how projects are tackled and give away a few tips from the pros. . all in all very worth while! Happy browsing!

Are you interested in turning one of your recent projects into a tutorial for this section. It must match the quality of the work below but we make it worth your while ;) write into Lynette Clee - Content Manager


  • "Fruits season in Arabia" by Khald Al-Muharraqi
    In order for me to show how 3D-totals textures are impressively well done, I thought of proving that in developing a scene that has very little polygons and very simple to develop even for the beginners, The other thing was not to use to many images...


  • "Texturing the Temple" by Chen Qingfeng
    I made one simple space for this small tutorial with the use of the good textures of Total Textures. I designed this space is big space, and Waterway round it


  • "Making of: The gates of Hell" by Mario Russo
     The Gates of Hell was created for the 38th 3Dluvr contest entitled "the gates", which got 3rd place. I was wondering how many people in the contest would make the gates of hell and how would be the most obvious representation. I remembered Rodin´s the gates of hell. . .


  • "The Crock" by Marco Rolandi
    This tutorial explains how to create a convincing spaceship using Total Texture-CDs without too much trouble and too much painting/customizing. . .


  • "Helms Deep" by Patrick Pirker
    Hi, I would like to write a little bit about my scene "helms deep", including modelling, lighting, and the major part, texturing. . .


  • "Kogaion Bot" by Teo Popa
    First of all I made a sketch with the general volumes of the project. It is not a work of art or a very detailed drawing as you see due to the fact that I did not want to restrict the model from the start. . .


  • "Making of: The Diner" by Jason Lee
    In this tutorial i will give a basic overview on how i made the image "Diner".
    We will start the journey with modeling, then texturing, and finally i will explain the lighting setup. Lets begin! . . .


  • "The Hanger" by Miguel Fonseca
    This was the Image that I made for the 3DTotal CD v7. The CD's are full of textures which can be used in a great variety of images and models, robots, spaceships, whatever. My Intention in the beggining was to create the ship only but then I started to model the environment and the results were as follows, the hangar. . .


  • "Texturing with 3D Total's Texture CD series" by Karin Eszterhás
    I have the privilege to show you how I used some of 3D Total's Texture CDs. First of all, here is the clean model of an old cloister I created in 3D Studio Max 5. . .


  • "Window to the Courtyard " by Martin Ernst
    I'd like demonstrate to you the potential use of the 3D Total Textures. To accomplish this I created two versions of the particular scene - one "clean", utilizing only some of the original textures to be found on the CD's; one "dirty", complementing the flawless textures by adding grime and graffiti. For this I used Cinema 4D and Photoshop. . .


  • "There's always a bigger rat" by Dough
    A picture of a hotel-corridor was something I wanted to do for quite some time. Characters should be in that scene too, but I had no Idea what kind of characters, or even what they were supposed to do in this scene.
    As I was sure about the appearance of the corridor I started modeling - so the character-problem had a little
    more time. . .


  • "Tram" by Ferenc J. Haraszti
    First, I'd like to say a huge thank you to 3DTotal.com's staff for giving me the opportunity to test their latest texture maps. All I can say is they are most awesome! All this was made in 3ds max 5.1 and rendered with VRay. . .


  • "Return of the Princess" by Miguel Fonseca
    This scene was entirely textured with Total Textures V5 'dirt & graffiti' and v6 'clean textures' from 3D Total. The 'Return of the Princess' was made in 3Ds max 5.1. This is the first time I have textured a scene twice, one with clean textures and second applying some dirt maps. . .


  • "The Passage" by Adam Guzowski
    I am going to write about some texturing tips I use when working under my short film "The Passage" In this title-image I used only one texture, put on simple plane object. No lights, no highly detailed objects, only one good texture. "The Passage" is a computer animated short film showing simple life story of a small robot-ball...


  • "Texturing with 3D Total's Texture CD's" by Balazs Kiss
    The basic idea of this image was to try out the possibilities of the 3D Total texture series. Therefore this project started mainly as a texturing exercise, but later it become more or less a Lighting-Rendering study with PRMan. I have used Maya for modeling-lighting......


  • "Capturing Heaven " by Greg Martin
    We have all seen the spectacular images that the Hubble Space Telescope and other such observatories have revealed to the world. Their haunting splendor inspires and compels us as artists. The question is, how can we capture the elusive essence space in our own representations of the heavens?
