Material Tutorials: 8 Step By Step Tutorials & General Tips

[PhilipK]

Hello, I decided to get this out now. I may add a couple of more ones later on.

There are at the moment 8 different tutorials on materials and how I define them and some tricks I do on various surface types.

Some of them involves sculpting in Zbrush and some are only Max or even Photoshop only.

So here goes:

Ah, they're just print screens from the Max viewport.

I used a DirectX Shader on them called Xoliul. You can get it here:
