Description
Realize your vision with stunning renders of your 3ds Max projects that can only be achieved with a powerful engine like mental ray. Beginning
with a concise review of the essential concepts, you proceed to step-by-step tutorials that teach you how to render scenes with indirect
light or with specific effects, such as depth of field and motion blur. Contour line shading and various other mental ray features are
presented in detail, then you learn how to use the different light types of 3ds Max inside mental ray and how to use mental ray's own
specific area lights and its new daylight system. Finally, the book reviews mental ray?specific materials and what effects can be obtained
by using most of the specific mental ray shaders.
Audience
100,000 3D artists using 3ds Max in animation, visual effects, game development, and architectural visualization.
