Particle Disintegration In 3D Studio Max With Thinking Particles & Krakatoa

Particle Disintegration In 3D Studio Max With Thinking Particles & Krakatoa

on Apr 30th 2012 with 1 comment

In this advanced level tutorial you’ll learn how to create a particle disintegration effect in 3d Studio Max using Thinking Particles and Krakatoa. While similar effects can be created using Particle Flow, Thinking Particles offers a robust node based system allowing you to truly fine tune your effects.

This tutorial covers setting up Standard and Dynamic groups in TP, and how to transfer particles between the two. We’ll also look at how we can map an image based texture to the the particles themselves and render the disintegration effect using the power of Krakatoa.

An Introduction To Keyshot Rendering

An Introduction To Keyshot Rendering

on Mar 27th 2012 with 10 comments

In this tutorial, new author Ivan Momchilow will introduce you to the Keyshot rendering engine and get you started on working with the software. Ivan will go through the process of setting up a model for importing and cover the basic settings for rendering inside the software. Keyshot features a surprisingly simple interface that’s both intuitive and easy to use. Featuring only six main UI buttons, rather then the hundreds of options most render engines throw at the user. Ivan has provided our premium members with a fantastic model of the Sony PSP Go, as well as the scene file from Keyshot, so get started after the jump!
