As a 3d-artist I’m contstantly in the quest of finding new hires textures and reference images. There are some site’s which share good textures, and some which share good reference images. But this site contains them both. Over 17000 hires pictures are available for free. So if you are having some trouble finding just the correct texture to fit your model, maybe this site will help you out!

To find out the best 3-D web page hosting is not an easier task. Reviews of netfirms do highlight the important features which webhosting cheap services don’t provide. A cheap web hosting company focuses on low rates to attract its customers. Rather a pricey but quality web hosting focuses on providing all kinds of seo services that one might require for work at home.

In answer to Maxwells Mxm-gallery, the Vray users decided to make their own website exclusively for Vray materials. Here, the users can share and download a wide variety of materials. From a chrome material to a procedural magma shader, everything can be found. And since you can choose from nearly a thousand materials, so there is always something that you will be interested in.
Also be sure to check the architecture contest and if you can, compete. In the last contest the prices where a 3dconnexion spacepilot and two 3dconnexion spacenavigators and those are a real benefit for a heavy 3d user.

So, be sure to check this page, it is definitely a handy page for the vray user.

Maxwell MXM Gallery

Maxwell (one of the most popular render engines for 3ds Max) has launched the MXM Gallery, “a meeting point for those who want to share their Maxwell materials with other users”. It’s a user generated website, where Maxwell users are challenged to upload their materials. To give a realistic view of the materials, users can download a demo scene (a ball like object), apply their material and upload an image of it. This makes for an interesting browsing experience trough the materials. Already hundreds of materials are uploaded, and you follow the highest ranking materials here. I’m especially glad to find some less common materials too, like lava lamp or carbonised bamboo. My personal favourite? Olive oil.
