Re: Rendering in 3ds Max
I covered a lot of the basics in this thread. I would stick with ScanLine until you need some of the features in MR, or VRay. VRay makes things much easier to set up but you pay for it come render time. There is no replacement for knowing the basic principles of lighting.

Re: How to render simple objects so it looks amazing
What you want to do is set up a studio like something say in http://cg.tutsplus.com/tutorials/autodesk-3ds-max/studio-rendering-with-3ds-max-and-vray/ or http://cg.tutsplus.com/tutorials/luxology-modo/easy-studio-rendering-in-luxology-modo-401/ and go from there.

Re: ratGPU : OpenCL raytracing renderer
I've found a little problem integrating all this into 3dsmax: the background viewports are slowing the GPU rendering a bit and the memory used is a lot because the meshes need to be stored in system-RAM, DirectX-VRAM and OpenCL-VRAM.... so I really think is much better to use an standalone app to increase the speed and the… -
Re: Sewer (Environment)

Re: 'Hand Painted' Step by step thing of some sort.
Thanks for the tips fletcher :) I do agree with Vrav though, I noticed great artists use Corel painter especially at Blizzard and Carbine. It is an app I need to practice more with if I expect to push myself more into this art direction. The smooth wet brush feels more natural to me and less work when you are painting with… -

Re: Max to Maya, preserving UVs?
VRML2 is possible using Maya's converter aswell -- (WRL is the extension if I remember correctly). Guy I know sent over a couple of vehicles he made in Max and I put them in animation on my Maya box. Lol -- and if you're rich -- Polytrans :b -
Re: SD40 - GAME MODEL - TRAINZ 2009
if your using max lonewolf try this. Add a skylight casting shadows, set its intensity to about 0.8 and make it the colour of your sky. Add a target directional light casting shadows, set its intensity to around 0.5 and up the res on the shadow map. Turn the shadow density down to around .9 and take the shadow colour away… -
