• Rendering a Yellow Ferarri with 3dsmax Application Used: Autodesk 3dsmax Author: Emre Goren Contact:emre_goren@hotmail.com Author Website: Author Website:http://www.cgflame.net/ [click here for larger image] As you can see above, this is the final image. It took me 15 mins to achieve this look with a Dual Xeon 3.0 and 2GB RAM. For bigger resolution, please go to my image gallery. Here is the scene layout in 3ds Max (I used version 9). [click here for larger image] The main idea for this image was to have soft shadows and realism, so I used area lights. I placed two area lights and a skylight which is nothing fancy. Didn't touch the parameters of the skylight (skylight is needed for Final Gather). Usually for reflections, HDR images are cool, however for this situation HDR is useless. The environment was lit quite enough to compete with HDR lighting or reflections. [click here for larger image] Scene scale is one of the most important things when you work with both area lights and GI. In some situations, you have to do some trial & error to catch the mood. I made some trials myself as well. [click here for larger image] Below is the mental ray car paint shader. [click here for larger image] I left the walls open behind the camera so that the environment color can pass to the scene and reflect off the car body and other things in the scene. I put a gradient ramp on a slot, selected spherical environment mapping and choose this for Max’s environment. It's always better to use a gradient ramp to mimic the atmosphere. In this case, the environment color is not seen clearly on the scene, but it helps a lot for the work progress. [click here for larger image] Here is the most powerful stuff - Exposure Control. It's once again related to the scene scale and units, there is no standard lighting setup for each scene. Exposure control helps you a lot when you have dark images and it fixes the rest if you don't want to play around with the lighting parameters too much. I have used default settings for GI and “Hi” preset for the final gathering. Basic color correction is applied in Photoshop for the final image. I hope you've enjoyed this small 'making-of'.
