Hi all, I'm in the stages of replacing 4 of my PC's and was wondering what is one of the better graphic cards to use. I have the option of a few from the supplier: ATI HD 4550 ATI HD 4650 Nvidia NVS 290 Nvidia GeForce 310 Thanks Mark

Hi All, I've created a light fixture shown below in the render. I have been trying to use as a light in my scene but I can't work out how to use it. I have an IES file which I have used on a free photometric light and positioned it just above the diffuser. I'm not sure how to illuminate the diffuser part of the light. Has anyone ever done this before, if so could you give me some hints on how best to create the light. I'm using max 2010 and Mental Ray Thanks Mark ______________ Mark Playford Freelance 3D Designer

Cheers Sandman, Found it now.

Thanks for your quick replies. Xfrog would be good to use but I can only fine the sampler for Terragen2. Where is the other sampler? Where abouts are the trees in Max? Thanks Mark

I've got a tight deadline for an image and I need to put some trees and bushes in but I can't spend a lot of money and also I need to be able to download them. Does anyone have any Idea where I could get this from Thanks Mark
