Hello I have been using 3ds Max 2012 student edition 64 bit at University and at home. These are two renders with exactly the same setup but one has much better results. You can see the first attachment (rendered on my home computer) is a much poorer render than the second one which was rendered at University. I no longer…
I think your gamma settings differ from those at university. Under Customize->Preferences->Gamma and LUT you can change that. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=97192 Did you use an HDRI in one, which could not be found on the other one?
