Rendering tips?

miksewell2008

Hello i have made a few models and i would like to render them out and i was just thinking if anyone had any recommendations on getting the best out of your rendering.

i am using the xoliul shader and offusely you cant f9 (3dsmax) so you have to grab a pic from the view point so i was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations or any free downloads?

Thanks alot for you help:)

Is it for gaming rendering?
If so, I know 4 ways :
- Xoliul Shader 2 http://xoliulshader.com/
- 3Point Shader http://www.3pointstudios.com/3pointshader_about.shtml
- Marmoset Toolbag ($) http://www.8monkeylabs.com/toolbag
- take a screenshot directly from your game engine (UDK, CryEngine, Unity, etc...)

Okay thanks alot, I will grab some view ports then!

I might try some udk view ports.

Oh and the rendering is for gaming! I also have the xoliul shader and it is brilliant, it really is a shame that you cant just render out with the ye old F9 key. Well life isnt simple so i will get on with it!

You can render it out, just not with the scanline renderer.
