Model Presentation

Topics about rendering models for your Portfolio or on the forum in 3D Art Showcase & Critiques.

High-Poly Models

Rendering a Sculpture - by Mike Fudge. Lighting, material, and rendering setup in Maya.

High Poly Material Rendering Tutorial - by Artem "X-Convict" Volchik. Double-specular material setup in 3ds Max. Discussion and examples here in Polycount.

MR materials for 3ds Max - by Enrico "SyncViewS" Gullotti. mental ray materials for 3ds Max, including dark shiny, light wireframe, and dark wireframe. File:MR PresentationMat 01.zip.

Engineering Material - by Pete Draper. Outline and cross-hatching render setup, using the Ink and Paint material in 3ds Max.

Low-Poly Models

Low-poly models are usually best presented as screenshots from a game engine, or from your modeling app's viewport using shaders.

Low Poly Challenge STYLE GUIDE Polycount Forum thread. Turning off anti-aliasing & filtering, instructions for many software packages.

Current/Nextgen Game Material Rendering by James Hall. Lighting a normal-mapped model using 2-point lighting and ambient occlusion.
