http://www.neilblevins.com has some good tutorials on materails. I don't think he has one on leather though. But from what you can learn from his site you should be able to come up with something. Look for under "CG Education link to get to his tutorials.

Good Luck hope this helps you.

Hey Whas Up Brian,

If you look closely at neilblevins tutorials its all done with max the other app he uses is Ghost(brazil Renderer). Your right it is hard to find some good stuff on materials/shaders with max online. Alot of my sources are from different tutorials that achieve the affect I am looking for, Experiment, Knowledge from Art School, Traditional mediums(painting), and Books, Books, Books.

But you may find stuff scattered over the net.
