The Dozer - Building and Rendering

In this training video, Instructor Laurens Corijn demonstrates how to model and render an entire high poly military dozer from scratch. Laurens explains many hard surface modeling techniques that will help you create complex shapes without pinching artifacts when smoothing. Next you will learn how to add a few simple materials and then render out different element passes using Mental Ray. Finally all the render passes are taken into Photoshop where Laurens shows a few interesting tricks on how to composite them and get a final image for your portfolio. 

This video is perfect for those who want to want to learn many practical hard surface modeling techniques and rending out your highres 3ds Max models for your portfolio.
