[EDIT]

Updated on 15 June 2006.

Added more icons to help people find their way around 3DS Max much more easily. I hope I didn't make it too messy!

Remember that this guide is written in color-coded sections, so take your time to accomplish each section.

lol actually the stuff I did to make the Orbs were very basic. It was more like mixing and matching different features to make something. My next guide will be on using noise to make a camouflage material. That one's pretty fast and easy.

nice work! i really think you did a good job :thumbsup: but i screwed up somewhere along the line lol. it's tricky having 2 materials on 1 shape because i think i may have messed that up somehow. i wasn't getting shiny orbs! they were just mat - no gloss despite raytrace. and the HDRI got a bit confusing, i'm not the best at that :(

you made it all very clear and the tut was easy to read - perfect really
