This is the original version of a model I made for my "Create A Realistic Mailbox Using 3ds Max And UVLayout " tutorial which which was recently published over on cgtuts+. The nearly five hour long tutorial goes through the entire workflow step by step. From a simple box primitive in Max to the completed textured asset you see here. It also covers rendering out a UV template from 3ds Max, as well as how to setup and bake out an Ambient Occlusion map using Mentalray.

The creation of the 2K Diffuse, Bump and Specular maps are covered in detail using Photoshop. I also cover building custom brushes and hand painting scratches among other things. Check out my 'tutorials' section for more info.
