in 3d Max can be simple if you know what modifier to use in a particular mapping situation. Here at Neoscape we receive lots of source images of materials that are going to be used in the construction of a building and its site. We have to accurately interpret these materials from the swatches we receive into the final render. In this tutorial I will walk through common mapping problems, how to...

In this lovely tutorial, we'll deal with compilation of a C program, using the compiler directly from the command line. It might be that you'll eventually use a more sophisticated interface (an IDE - Integrated Development Environment) of some sort, but the common denominator you'll always find is the plain command line interface. Further more, even if you use an IDE, it could help you understand...





One of the problems with developed programs, is that they tend to grow larger and larger, bringing up overall compilation and linking time to a large figure, and polluting out makefile, and the directory where we placed the source files. The first time a program we write reaches this state, is normally when we look for a different way to manage our projects.It is this point where we start thinking...

During a recent travel in the South East of Asia, I visited Sriracha Tiger Zoo in Thailand and I took many photos of all the animals living there. There is no better reference material to use than the one you personally create wink





AS COMPUTERS AND THEIR USER INTERFACES have become easier to use, they have also become more complex for programmers to deal with. You can write programs for a simple console-style user interface using just a few subroutines that write output to the console and read the user's typed replies. A modern graphical user interface, with windows, buttons, scroll bars, menus, text-input boxes, and so on,...





I will summarize the workflow I used for one of my characters with lots of images and some print-screens directly from the applications used (Maya/Mudbox/Photoshop, etc ...), also at the end I will provide some info about tangent space normal maps so you could think of this tutorial as primarily normal mapping related stuff.





Then, using the Circle tool, and whilst holding shift, draw as many circles as you wish, in order to gain the full cloud layout. One done, fill this shape with a slightly darker colour than the background.
