    Hello, I decided to get this out now. I may add a couple of more ones later on.

    There are at the moment 8 different tutorials on materials and how I define them and some tricks I do on various surface types.

    Some of them involves sculpting in Zbrush and some are only Max or even Photoshop only.

    So here goes:

    And here are some quick links to the different tutorials:

    And if you missed it before there are two more tutorials I made earlier on modular meshes:

    hah, thanks! appreciated

    I got some feedback on them of people asking about how I go about tiling stuff like the rock wall in Zbrush etc. I kinda regret that I didn't make all the examples tilable. So I may add an extra step or so later on if you want to tile your stuff already in Zbrush.
