Описание: 3ds Max has existed for many years with alternate plug-in renders to the default scanline renderer. These plugin renderers — like Brazil, VRay, and mental ray — have existed for years and have been used by the 3ds Max community to some degree. But how these renders integratewith 3dsMax and the availability of trainingmaterial has limited the rate of adoption of these plug-in renders.
In 1997, a connection from 3ds Max to mental ray was introduced. This was soon followed by an agreement whereby a license of mental ray was included whenever a seat of 3ds Max was purchased. Despite the fact that mental ray came at no cost to the customer, there were still many 3ds Max users who stuck with the traditional scanline render or went to other plug-in renders.
In 3dsMax 9, Autodesk has made a concerted effort tomake the use of mental raymore approachable by simplifying the interface of the lighting and creating a newmaterial type that is flexible enough to createmost materials. Now, in 3ds Max Design 2010, Autodesk has advanced the functionality and potential for you to produce stunning rendered images.
In this book, we have tried to do two things: give you a fundamental understanding of the tools you are using and put you into real-life situations in which you would be required to produce renderings of real-life projects. The approachwas to go over tasks that an architectural illustration artist would typically find him- or herself in.
