New 3DS Max Training DVD Set Released New 3d-Palace DVD - STORMBRINGER - the Serenity / Firefly Transporter Project (October 25, 2005)

Compatible with 3ds Max versions 6, 7 and 8, 3d -Palace is pleased to announce the release of their new training DVD "Stormbringer": A step by step modelling, animation and texturing tutorials set for the creation of the "Firefly Class" transport ship based upon the TV Series "Firefly" by Fox and the newly released motion picture "Serenity" by Universal.

This 30+ hour training set comes on two data DVDs , and shows you every stage of the process to go from a completely empty workspace to a completed scene, even adding in bonus sections to show you how to achieve an animated take-off, multiple assignments of complex procedural metal materials using Mental Ray, creation of environmental prefabs for scene setup, adapting an existing low poly mesh from your existing model and adapting it for higher poly use, creation of additional scene elements (the shuttles) and a lot more besides.

You do not need plugins to complete this set. Just load up your bare bones copy of 3ds Max and you can complete the entire set.
