I've just modeled a space station and I want to render a nice scene of it in the outer space. I am using 3ds Max 2016 and iRay for this. I got an sIBL Milky Way HDRi and added as an Environment Map. This is what I get on a simple render with iRay (a blurry image, for no reason): Accidentally I rendered it with Mental Ray and the map was just as I wanted: Now, I want this image to be clear in the background and I would also like you recommendation about what light source I should use for this (if it is possible that you gave me this tip). Thank you very much!

I got it! Thanks a lot, again!

I have come up with this reply because I have read more about comparisons between GTXs and Quadros. Everyone is talking about cooling (a topic that I hdn't thought about previously). Because I am going to use the GPU for heavy work (hours of rndering, etc.) I need to be sure that it is not going to break down. In terns of money, I think these are my limits, so I have to be sure that I do the right choice. I'll wait for more opinions. Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much! I will know what to buy not to waste my money.

Hi! I saved enough money to buy a new graphics card for my machine. I heard a lot of good things about the GTX 680 from nVidia: one of them is that this grpahics card is made for games. I know I need a Quadro for 3DS Max iRay, though I don't have enough money for it. I want to know what is your opinion. How will this card work with iRay? My machine configuration: 16GB RAM DDR3, 7200rpm HDD, Intel Core i5 3.2GHz

Hello! My name is Victor, and I am a teenager from Romania. I am only 15 years old and one of my hobbies is 3D graphics. I like to learn any kind of new things about 3D Studios Max, since I've got the students license. I hope I will be a good influence for other new members on this forum.
