Setting Up Global Illumination using Radiosity in 3ds Max 5

Setting Up Global Illumination using Radiosity in 3ds Max5 by Brian C. Morris I developed this tutorial for the 3D Design class which I teach at The American College of Thessaloniki (ACT). In this tutorial you will learn how to setup Global Illumination using a 3ds Max5 photometric light and Radiosity.

Adding Textures to The Polyfighter with UVW Unwrap-rework

This tutorial is a rework of the 3ds Max5 tutorial "Adding Textures to the Spaceship with UVW Unwrap". I have replaced the model, updated the bitmap and extended the tutorial. The tutorial now uses the Wingman02 model from the Flying the Spacefighter tutorial which fits the bitmap a little better but needed a bit of modeling maintenance. I remodeled some faces, and deleted extra faces and isolated vertices. The bitmap image is reworked a little and is now a higher resolution. I developed this tutorial for my ACT 3D Design class as well so ignore the Blackboard and student references.

The Better NURBS Head

This tutorial is a rework of the 3ds Max5 tutorial "Modeling the Head of a NURBS Character". I have fixed the max start files and added new content. There seems to be a lack of Nurbs tutorial for 3ds Max so here is one for you. The first 2 sections are almost straight from the 3ds Max tutorial but then things get interesting. Another tutorial developed for my ACT 3D Design class so ignore the Blackboard references.
