In 2006, I was introduced to Mr. Peter Thompson, owner ofMeritus Racing by Paul McAusland of UrbanImaging. He had recommended my 3D visualservice to Mr. Thompson and from then on I was creating the visuals for MeritusRacing sponsorship campaign. The visuals I have created required photorealism anddelicate compositing of rendered image to the photography plate.To […]
1. Open 3DS Max . Press F10 to show rendering settings dialog or the button with the tea-pot icon on the main panel as shown on the picture 1. At the Common tab expand Assign Render rollout and show the dialog to select V-ray reder by pressing the button with the triple-dot. 2. Set parameters […]
The following tutorial assumes that the user has a basic knowledge of 3Ds Max when applying textures to the self-illumination toggle; applying the “UVW map” modifier and assigning material slots to objects/surfaces. When using a bitmap in the “VrayLightMtl” or mental ray “Self Illumination (Glow)” toggle, the texture display is often overridden by its default […]
After few requests to post a tutorial about creating a velvet/suede fabric finish, I have managed to put something together. The following tutorial works for both V-Ray and mental ray. One of the most distinctive characteristics of the velvet/suede finish is its soft textured effect with two contrasts that transcend across the entire surface. This […]
Before I begin the tutorial, let me say a few words about KeyShot. KeyShot is a very user friendly 3D rendering application that allows you to create photorealistic visuals in a very short time. It’s the solution for many designers who don’t want to waste time with complicated rendering software.
This tutorial of the Florence Design Academy, the leading Design School in Europe, explains how to create a glowing material through Architectural and Standard materials. Additionally it will explain how to use the Glare shader to improve glow effects.
