Once you have the renders you want you could easily photoshop that.. you could also probably do it in 3ds, but I was just saying that because I've never used 3ds and know that you could do it in photoshop..

Most people who make good renders in 3D Studio Max don't touch it up with Photoshop, unless you're someone on deviantART.

I don't see what is so shameful about using photoshop or something similar for touching up something like this. You could use one or the other, I suppose, but what's wrong with using both?

There isn't anything wrong with it. He is our 2D artist and that is what he does, he makes 2D assets.

We love Kalle Bowo, He rocks. Rocked Over

What I meant was the renders themselves. Of course they used photoshop to add the layout on the buttons. Even if they did use photoshop to touch up those buttons, I don't care at all. It's for the mod and anything you use to make it look better helps.

There's nothing wrong with touching things up with Photoshop, but it bugs the crap out of me when someone makes a render for a mod, a game, or just as art in general, and then uses photoshop to tweak the crap out of it and still calls it a 3D render. This is very popular with digital photography, and that bugs me a whole lot more.

You create the model in 3D Studio Max, apply any needed materials/textures/whatever, render with 3D Studio Max in the desired position(s), save the render(s), open it(/them) with Photoshop, cut what you don't need, apply a background (eg. a view of the Whitehouse or something), add effects (like lightning in the sky, etc), apply any other filters you need and Ctrl+S.

There are a lot of other ways of doing this.

When you render things in 3D Studio Max, you add certain lights and can give it a certain look that way.

I use a Skylight with Adv. Lighting option to render my work for team updates. Give a really sharp and clear picture.

add a plane right below it as a floor, and then go to the lights tab and add a skylight. You'll be impressed.
