Tutorials

These are the tutorials I have written, ranging from very simple to more complex ones on a variety of subjects. Most of these are for 3ds Max, and each tutorial will list its requirements.

Beginner Tutorials

	Lathe Create lathed/revolved objects.
	Raytracing Learn how raytraced reflections and refractions are rendered, and how supersampling/anti-aliasing works and are used.
	Golf Ball Use basic modeling techniques such as beveling and subdivision (MeshSmooth) to create a golf ball.
	Tissue Box Make a tissue box using some lesser-known but powerful tools, such as ShapeMerge and Shell. No Booleans needed!

Advanced tutorials

	Blender Fluid Simulation Use Blender to simulate fluid flowing down a flight of stairs.
	Cloth Use reactor to realistically simulate cloth draping over an object.
	HDRI Learn how to use an HDRI (High-Dynamic Range Image) file to create a more realistic environment.
	Caustics Use the mental ray renderer to create caustics: the light patterns caused by light refracting through glass.
	Boat Wakes Use reactor's water simulation to create the wakes left behind by boats.
	Blobmesh 3ds Max's Blobmesh, essentially metaballs, creates particles that meld together with nearby particles.
