Wanted to collect links to useful sites I come across when I look for information, tutorials, inspiration and resources for 3D modelling, rendering and illustration. Covers any type of application.
3d Studio Max Arch & Design Preset Examples

In October of 2006, Autodesk implemented a material type called the “Arch & Design” material for the 3d Studio Max implementation of mental ray. This material type is an elaborate construct of mental ray shaders and includes a useful set of preset material configurations that- with proper lighting- can make any render look special.
Today we’re going to take a deep dive into each one of these mental ray material presets. By the end of this tutorial you’ll have a firm grasp over what each material does and when to use it. One thing I’d like to note is that the 3dsMax documentation in this area is spectacular.
Ambient Occlusion with Transparency!

I'm going to explain how you can render an AO pass while keeping the transparency of certain objects, just using the mental ray and A&D shaders. The example I'm using here is a tree textured with A&D materials.

How to make leaf materials for 3d trees using the VRay2sidedMtl, in this case a sugar maple (in autumn). The tutorial uses Onyx Tree for the tree generation, but this material technique works just as well with other tree objects with low-poly opacity mapped leaves.

Making of Tiger Zoo

Photography has always inspired me; I love especially shots of nature and wildlife from magazines like The National Geographic. During a recent travel in the South East of Asia, I visited Sriracha Tiger Zoo in Thailand and I took many photos of all the animals living there. There is no better reference material to use than the one you personally create wink
