June 29 09
This is a quick introduction to show how you can use the MR labeled render element in max 2010 to created masks for compositing with a mask on each channel (RGB) per image.

This is a short video showing the changes that take place during the post production of a rendering before it is finished. The renders that we create are of a very high standard, but we will usually enhance them using photoshop to get that extra touch. Many special effects such as volume lighting can be [...]
slide shaders.
June 4 09
I’ve been talking with Robin Deitch from Slide London and experimenting with their mental ray shader called Slide Shaders. Essentially, this great shader will export a multi-layered EXR file from max when you render with mental ray.
maxscript align tools.
June 4 09
While I was in Utrecht, Ken Pimental was asked what features we think should be added to Max. Someone asked for the ability to align an object to three points.
This script has been in my toolbox for a long time, so I’ve taken it out, polished it up, and partnered it with a friend. There [...]
maxscript open bitmaps in photoshop.

This is an oldie but a goody. Put simply, it is a script that will open 3ds Max material maps in photoshop. I use it in my quad menu. If photoshop isn’t open, then it will open it for you.
