This tutorial will teach you how to create a pen in 3DS Max using a poly modeling technique that makes use of the Inset, Extrude, and Bevel effects to model a cylinder into the shape we want. Our tutorial will be broken into three small sections: modeling the lower cap of the pen, modeling the body of the pen, and finally modeling the head of the pen. You are not expected to have any advanced skills in 3D Studio Max to follow this tutorial.

This tutorial will teach you how to create a Light Saber - the weapon featured in the Star Wars saga. This is an intermediate tutorial that will require you to know your basic way around 3D Studio max. Our tutorial will be divided into two parts: Part I will teach you how to model the handle and the blade while Part II will teach you how to create the glowing blade and the animation process.

Reactor is a powerful tool that comes with 3d Studio Max, it makes it possible to simulate realistic dynamics based on physically-defined properties, such as hard body, soft body, cloth, and liquid. It can simulate the reaction occurring when a box falling from a high place hits the ground. This could be compared to all the time required to do the same effect using keyframes, and that wouldn't still give us a realistic animation similar to the one possible to create using reactor. This tutorial will teach you how to simulate car motion using the Wheel Reactor.

This short tutorial on how to use VRay's Global Illumination feature will show you one method for creating realistic looking lighting for a scene. VRay is a very powerful external render engine for Max made by Chaos Group. VRay has many features including the ability to to physically accurate full global illumination, advanced material shaders and enhancements for speeding up rendering time. You can check the Chaos Group website to learn more about the various VRay features. This is an intermediate level tutorial and it will not explore any modelling techniques, you will have to create a simple scene with a few objects laying around to follow this tutorial.

Light caustics are light shapes created on the floor when light passes through certain glass objects such as a drinking glass. We are going to create this effect in 3D Studio Max by using the Mental Ray renderer and the Mental Ray glass material.

This tutorial is going to show you a step by step procedure for drawing a drink glass in Illustrator CS by using mostly the pencil tool and different brush tools. This tutorial will teach you several skills such as drawing figures outlines, adding brush effects, and colouring with transparency. This is a beginner level tutorial, you are merely expected to know the very basics on how to use Illustrator. An example of the outcome of our tutorial could be seen below.

This tutorial will teach you how to make 3D glasses on a carpet using Adobe Illustrator. The making of this same 'model' in 3D Studio Max has been demonstrated in a previous tutorial at Oman3D. You will learn here how easily it is to create a simple 3d model using Adobe Illustrator rather than using any 3D program such as 3D Studio Max. The technique that we will use in this tutorial will involve creating a single slice of the object that we want to create and then using the "Revolve" effect to convert our slice into a 3D object. Read on to learn the exact steps on how to do this.
