V-Ray - a powerful visualization tool that supports Depth of Field (DOF), Motion Blur (effect of "smearing" in the motion), Displacement (displacement map, with increasing detail of three-dimensional objects). In addition, V-ray has its own light source, a system of sun-sky for realistic lighting with natural light, and the physical camera parameters, similar to a real photo and video cameras. System Vray Proxy allows rendering of extremely large volumes of similar objects, consisting of total tens of billions of polygons. Built-in shaders provide the user with ample opportunity to simulate virtually any material. V-Ray SDK allows you to program their own shaders as well as to adapt the system for solving specific problems. Ability to calculate the individual picture elements in the form of channels, such as depth, diffuse color, alpha, reflection, refraction, shadows, and others, provides greater flexibility in post-processing packages compositing and editing.

The CLASSIC CHIC premium video will teach you how to create this scene from scratch. No shortcuts, you will learn how to model and texture EVERY MODEL in this scene. The techniques used in this video can be used to create any classic furniture. If you know how to do it – it’s easy. Did I mention this method is fast? The whole scene takes less than 7 hours to model, texture, light and render.

This material is based on the Video Tutorials Thinking Particles 3.0-4.0 found in the vast site Cebas YouTube encompassing both standard techniques and advanced levels of everyday work tasks. Also includes new features and Thinking Particles 4.0. There are sample files and scripts.

In this tutorial we will learn how to take a character mesh from rigging to animation using the Character Animation Toolkit (CAT) in 3ds Max. We are going to take a character mesh all the way through animation in 3ds Max. Throughout the tutorial, we will discuss workflow for an animation pipeline. We will start with rigging with 3ds Max's CAT system and learn some tips and tricks for skinning along the way. We will then talk about planning a shot and setting up a basic cameras. Finally, we take all of our assets and create a two shot animation utilizing the rig we created.
