Kurt: Yup, at the moment the only access to internet at work and through my cellphone with 3g/wap which is not exactly fast or cheap to use. It sucks but hopefully i'll be able to get something better soon..

Maybe it's a good thing, Magnus! I've got so used to always having internet access that I hardly can remember what it was like in the good ol' days before the www...

[Maximus3D]

Yes Kurt, sometimes it's a good thing to be away from internet. You know you use it too much when you miss it. Not having constant around the clock access to internet daily gives you more time for other stuff which is nice.

As promised iker here are the scratchmaps, and if you don't mind i included a bonusmap package and a collection of scratchy brushes for Photoshop so you can paint your own maps.

Ron: Thanks for your kind words Ron the community would never work if no one contributed to it.

Cary: You're welcome i appreciate your nice words

Leo: thank you and yeap the new city is quite nice and pretty big, the second biggest city in Sweden. The only problem is i'm having a hard time getting used to working in 3dsmax, it's not easy.. :/

def4d: Hehe thanks def i'll try my best to help as much as i can. I'm sure we all do the same around here. Lotsa $$$ would be nice this year, if i get to keep the job that is..

def: Good use of scratchmaps there a tip is to try to keep the scratches subtle and barely visible on the surface, ofcourse depending on what type of surface it is. But most of the time scratches seem to be hairthin and only visible at certain angles and such things. I'm still trying to nail that perfect look and feel of a scratched surface.

Thanks Magnus.

I hope i find some use for of all that what you've posed here.
At some point will install Maxwell Render although it is not supporting 5S yet.

[Maximus3D]

You're both welcome, Stefan and Martin i'm sure you find some sorta use of these maps somehow for something and for some engine..

Martin, Maxwell is still useful for other stuff even if it has no S5 like the other engine got. I doubt you will like it because it's not the other engine which you love, but it's worth a try..

[Maximus3D]
