SandmanNinja Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Hi What render engine are you using? What version of 3ds max are you using? Here are some comments, assuming you're using Mental ray: re: your ceiling - I'd get more light into the room from the windows by using mrSkyPortals. That way, the light is coming from the window and not the missing ceiling. I prefer to use Global Illumination (photons) for interiors, and the key to good lighting of interiors is to bounce light. Light comes in through a window, hits the floor or ceiling, and stops with just 0 or 1 bounce. You want to bounce light all around the room - get it into nooks and crannies. Here are some general comments: * the floor tiles look too big * I'd never put the teapot primitive into a scene * looks like a texture/geometry problem with the chair in the top render * curtains look like they're floating in air - no visible means of support * consider putting a view out the window * consider secondary lighting - I don't see any lamps or ceiling lights in the scene turned on The above was meant as constructive - make some changes and re-post.

guiltybydesign Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 yeah about the general comments-I have those things in mind Im using default scanline in 3ds max 2009 I tried with daylight system(mr sun and mrsky in MR but didnt find the result realistic)..currently Im using skylight and target area and omni in the centre of the room.. -how to make the shadows from the Target Area look sharper not only in the beginning but in the whole room..currently Im using Shadow Map type of shadows..and about that what does the sample range and bias settings change.. -I wanted the tiles on the floor to be big.. -If using MR what type of light should I use and what settings for the GI..I am sometimes using MR with skylight and FG.. -what should my artificial lights be (mr omni, omni...?!?)

SandmanNinja Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 mrSun and mrPhysical Sky can produce some very realistic lighting results. You need to do some Mental Ray lighting tutorials. Sometimes you have to just sit down and work through them. I always take notes, mainly so I can refer back to them from time to time. http://www.mentalboutmax.com has some great basic mental ray lighting tutorials. 3ds comes with some very good lighting tutorials. There are even a few targeted towards Arch Viz - a house with a pool in the back yard, if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guiltybydesign Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 so in that scene I should use Mental Ray -Skylight -mrsun -mrphysical sky what type of shadows? Skylight or not? FG? GI? What settings for GI? Those are my actual questions.. Will check those tutorials too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandmanNinja Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Those answers are far too numerous and detailed to answer in a post. At least for me. Those tutorials are great - Bri emails links almost immediately and 3ds has the tutes on the disc. If you do only the tutes that ship with 3ds, almost all of your questions will be answered. Seriously, the amount of time since your first post here, you could have done all of the tutes and be well on your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guiltybydesign Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 experimenting with lighting mental ray daylight system(mr sun+mr sky) +mr omni FG & GI -I know about the perspective and the UVW mapping of some objects needs retouch c&c appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAcky Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Seriously what's with all these hijacked threads and ppl posting in threads from years ago. This thread has absolutely nothing to do with camera matching. anyway this is the exact thing you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guiltybydesign Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 thanx about the Softness and Samples range of the mrsun shadows..what settigns should I use, Im currently using 40softness and 50 range, soemthing like that for soft shadows.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Hunt Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 40 is quite soft, but its working for the scene so keep it. normally I keep my softness below 10 (more often below 5) and the samples to 30. It does take longer to render but the smoothness and detail is worth it. jhv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guiltybydesign Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 so about the samples range...the higher count the better quality or the worse quality?? I know more samples=quality, but that setting was Samples Range I think.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guiltybydesign Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 thats a new quick scene Ive made, a material and FG/GI study... Im not happy with the carpet, I used the hair/fur modifier for the first time..I kinda figured the settings out, but this one rendered less smoother than I expected...Also I will reduce the bump on the floor and increase the reflection to give it a more marblish look, instead of concrete-looking-floor.. I also dont like those black spots on the walls and on the front of the couch, despite the high FG/GI settings...I`ll post some updates.. p.s. recommended GI settings for interiors? p.p.s. how to turn SuperSampling in MR on? (when using scanline I turn Adoptive Halton from the RENDER tab but when using MR there are no such options on that very spot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guiltybydesign Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 update on the last scene...I still dont know what the walls will be, but its a lighting study after all, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
