of the modeling and afterwards I will explain the texturing process, after that I'll say a few words on ligthning. . .

- "Alfama" by Miguel Fonseca
This scene has been made with 3D Studio Max 5, but this tutorial is valid for any 3D package. The tutorial is divided in two parts: modelling and texturing. So, let's go to the «making of» of Alfama. . .

- Texturing tutorial by Musa Sayyed
For texturing I usually use my digital camera or use a texture CD (which is more convinient). In this case i'm

about the nice colors and architectural elements about oriental and desert places, all being destroyed in
these days. . . .

- "Portal" by Javier Núñez ja3d
Ok, let's go, this scene has been made with 3D Studio Max 5.1, but this tutorial is valid for any 3D package.
The project is divided in two parts: modelling and texturing, the 90% of textures used in this scene are from
Total Textures CD's . . .

- Surfin' 2003 Texturing by Andrea
After modelling the scene, which is not covered in this tutorial, you must then decide what textures you are
going to use and how to apply them. We will be using texporter to make things easier. . . .

- "Venetian Afternoon" by Tim Jones
Every artist has their own methods for creating their artwork. In this project overview I would like to share
some of my methods with you.
- "Texturing Tips" by Tom Greenway
This tutorial was made in 3DStudio max 5 but covers theories and principles only which are relevant to all
3D software packages. To start, we will set up a very simple scene, the intention is to let the textures and the
lighting to the work so all we have for the geometry is 2 planes and 1 sphere, indicated below.

- "Astronaut - Patchmodelling" by Adel Adili
By using patch-modelling in Max the artist can create complicated stuff as organic models. Here you can
see the head of the astronaut which was done in Max 3.1

- 'Creating 'The Ally' by Joel LeLièvre
This is my first ever tutorial so bare with me... :) I wanted to do a scene that was realistic when it came to composition. I wanted it to have realistic texturing, lighting, and modeling.

- "Texturing the Cathedral" by Chen Qingfeng
Hello and welcome to this Tutorial. I wish to share with you some thoughts on Texturing and PostProduction.
The original model I am working from here, was made by Marko Dabrovic of RNA Studio . . .

- "The Sculpture - A Texturing Tutorial" by Edoardo Belinci
The scene consists of four essential components: the stairs and balcony, the sculpture, the illumination
and finaly the complex texturing. You will see how Dirt Maps can increase the realism in your scenes as
you go through this tutorial. Let's jump right into texturing the scene then, shall we?

- "Making the scene - from modelling to the final rendering" by Adam Guzowski
This tutorial consists of two parts. The first part includes modelling techniques, lighting and cameraplacement.
The second part presents information on texturing and rendering the scene.

- Building, Texturing and lighting a Scene - "The shop' by Juan Siquier
The scene represents a man and a sculpture, maybe a sculptor observing his work. All the textures used
are from the Total Textures CD´s see here www.3dtotal.com/textures . I have used the release 5 of 3D
Studio MAX without any plugin or automatic system of global illumination

- "Texturing a Scene" by Nikola Drincic
This tutorial will show you how to texture a whole scene. I will try to do a simple texturing job on a
complex scene (lots of objects). The whole texturing is going to be done only in 3D Studio MAX, but it will
work in other packages with their respective tools just as well.

- "The Making of S.C.A.R.A.B by Rory Woodford
I am highly influenced by the style and techniques of Dave Wilson's work. He was my former department
head and therefore I was exposed to his techniques from birth to final image. For a while I had wanted to
make a robot in this style, so that I could, learn how to do every aspect of it 1st hand

- "Canyon material using advanced procedurals and Vertex Colours" by Peter Åsberg
Hello and welcome to the third installment of my procedural tutorials. This will be a quite advanced tutorial
since the final result will include a ton of layered procedurals, a vertex colour mask, some bitmap masks
and a gradient ramp with LOTS of flags. . . .

- "Texturemapping 3D Aircraft"
by Ronnie Olsthoorn
This
tutorial explains how you can texture a 3D aircraft
model. It's written in such a way that even relative
beginners to Max might be able to follow this tutorial
with some success. For this tutorial I will use my
Yak-9D model as an example . . .
- "Car Paint tutorial"
by Daniel Buck
The

deal with
this problem in a different way
- An
In-Depth Look at UVW Mapping an Object
In
this tutorial, I'll show you the basics of getting
around the Unwrap UVW interface, a few methods for
automatically mapping the object, and some techniques
you can use when the automatic mapping
doesn't quite
do what you need it to.

Metal
Surfaces by Arild Wiro
I
often see newbies asking how to make chrome or other
reflective metals. Rather than give the same answer
every time, I decided to put up this tutorial and
add in 3 other metal creation types
