3D Liquid Explosion Artwork

3D renders are often combined with vector elements and photostock elements to create stunning visual effects. While some artworks can be created merely in Photoshop, most designers are forced to call upon other programs in order to achieve truly brilliant effects. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a Poser figure, create a shatter effect and render it in 3DStudio Max, then use Photoshop and some simple stock images to create a brilliant and visually stunning water explosion effect. Even if you don’t have Poser or 3DSMax, we’ve included the render in a PNG format for you to play with, and you’ll still learn valuable techniques.

Wire and Isoline Clay Render

In 3D graphics the structure of the model often matters a lot. Well built model renders and animates nicely. When a clay render is created out of a 3D model, one often wants to show also the structure of the model. In this tutorial I cover clay rendering where also the structure (wire / edges) of the model is shown as addition to the surface.

Photo Montage in 3DS Studio MAX

Photo montage means a picture where 3D model is rendered inside of a photograph. Picture 4 is an example of this kind of picture. The goal is to make the 3D model inside of the photo look as natural as possible. In high quality photo montages 3D models are conceived as part of the photograph. I this tutorial I cover the making of photo montage in 3D Studio MAX

3D Studio MAX Mental Ray tutorial

I use my diamond models but you could just use the Hedra primitive (Create > Extended Primitives > Hedra) to create some jewels in seconds. Just create two Hedra objects and place them on a Plane object to create something similar to my scene. Change the color of the Plane object to white. Create a camera and make sure that you don’t see the edges of the Plane object in the view. Change the size of the Plane object when necessary.

Making of The Patient by Ten24

The following article isn’t intended to be a tutorial as such but rather a focused ‘making of’ during which I will attempt to explain a lot of my working practices and techniques. I’m going to illustrate this with Videos and images where appropriate. I’ve also included at the bottom of the article a link to the scene file, which includes a version of the scene with a frozen mesh and all the textures in JPG format at full resolution. I have no intention of discussing modeling or sculpting techniques, as there are already thousands of head modeling tutorials out there and I really don’t think there is anything I can tell you that you wont find better demonstrated elsewhere. Instead I want to focus on the Texturing, Shading, Lighting, Rendering and grading of this image.

Cell Shading in 3d Studio max tutorial

In 3D graphics cell shading (also called cartoon shading or toon shading) means a material / rendering method that produces to a result that looks like a hand drawn picture. The purpose of cell shading is to create a rendering that looks like cartoon or comic book style.

In this cell shading tutorial I cover a method of doing cell shading in 3DS MAX with the scanline renderer. Of course cell shading can be done by using Mental Ray’s Ink’n Paint material but in this tutorial I concentrate on a method that is very fast and works with both scanline renderer and Mental Ray.
