Hi
I'm in the process of learning to work in 3dsmax, trying to become good at texturing, modeling, etc.
As a project, I've started to build this house on poles, but I've got some problems with the roof. I want it to be a thatched roof, with straws poking out all around, but what is the best way to do this in 3dsmax 5 ? Do I need a plugin or is there some clever way of mimicking the look, without my poly-counts going through the roof (sorry about the pun :-)) ?? :curious:
And of course, any comments about the textures and the lighting are more than welcome..
