Light Effect: Sparkles
Hey guys, I have an issue about how to create sparkling light effects in 3ds Max. If possible with mentalRay or Scanline, no VRay. Here is the concept with the effect I am trying to achieve: So it is supposed to represent a flickering, living light. Like from a willow wisp. Is that possible with lights? Or would you use… -
Re: Light Maps in 3Ds Max
Thanks for the responses, Im doing an art test and it requires light maps for my entire scene. Ive never used light maps before so Im not really sure where to start.

I've seen some workflow that jump into the materials and texture blending as soon as the basic geometry is in place, reserving the lighting for the… -
Environment lighting questions
