This video tutorial shows how to generate the maps in 3ds Max that can be used as bitmaps and masks in materials.Two keys to the process are Matte/Shadow material and Box Selected rendering type.

Use this parking strike a tutorial as a guide to learn a process that can be applied in many different ways in 3ds Max. The same process can be used, for example, to create various louver patterns on the side of new machinery our military rank insignia on the arm of a character. Use your imagination!

Some readers have reported a problem accessing the FTP site because their corporate firewall won't allow access to port 21.

If you don't have a (Flash) SWF player I would recommend you go to www.irfanview.com and download this useful viewer and the plug-in package.

Thanks very much for your support.

Whooops!! ....was it supposed to be that easy? I must have done something wrong.
It downloaded in a flash and is Far superior to the original.
In the original, it was difficult to see just what the dialog boxes
contained at times. In the new video, I thought somehow it had opened up VIZ - much easer to see whats goin on.
Thanks Ted - Looking forward to the next one!

John
