Looking for textures for your 3d modeling and graphic design work? 

It's really hard to find good textures to use with your 3d modeling design and graphic design projects that would suit exactly to your needs.  That is why every artist should have a wide range of texture library that he can easily pull out whenever he needs it.  The problem is, not all artists have a full range of textures in his library every time. 

Fortunately, we live in a time where a lot of materials and information can easily be pulled out from the internet.  This includes textures and photos we can integrate with our 3d modeling and graphic design work.

I found these two websites that have a lot of textures to choose from and can be downloaded for free.

Architectural Visualization 3ds Max Tutorials #24: Time is Running

Artist: Jan K. Vollmer

Posted in: Cg-India

In this tutorial I want to show the making of the image "time is running" made with 3ds max 2008, rendered with vray 1.50.SP1.

Everything is modelled in 3ds max 2008 mostly from standard geometry and some splines with lathe like the lampshade. Modelling is not my favourite so I want to show the material and the scene and rendering setup with vray 1.5.SP1.
