    Does someone knows why I can’t see any of these images?

    • Matt Brealey says:

      Hi Phoenix! We recently switched to a new hosting system, and as a result it may take a refresh or two to see the new images. If you’re still having trouble just let me know and I’ll chase up the issue :)

      Thanks!

    I love the first frog with the lips. His expression is really cool.

    A lot of these animals have beautiful fur.

    I have played around tons with 3ds max’s hair and fur and still I haven’t got it down a 100%.

    If anybody knows of a comprehensive tutorial on 3ds max hair and fur please let me know.
