RESOURCES - 3DS MAX
HIGH-RES AND LOW-RES 3DS MAX MASTER FILES

  • Two master files will start in 3ds Max.
  • We will create a high-res master file and a separate low-res file
  • Each master file will XREF in the appropriate high-res or low-res version of the terrain, individual buildings, and other features.
  • Materials will be added to these files using an XREF material library.
  • 3ds Max has a modifier called “retopology” to check out to optimize geometry.
When it comes to sourcing high quality stock images to use as bitmaps I found stock images for materials such as aluminum, chain link fences, and concrete through Adobe Stock. Due to having access to the entire Adobe Suite through the college as part of the DDGT Program, we also have access to download pretty much any image that can be found through Adobe Stock images.
