Studio/Institution: Anderson Imagery Genre: Commercial Exterior Software: 3d Studio Viz 2007 Description: Hi everyone, I have been using 3D Studio Viz for about 8 years now but this is my first work in progress post. I use the Mental Ray render that is built into Viz 2007 but I do not use any of the mental ray lights. The ambient light in this scene is created by an omni light with an applied Ambient/Reflective Occulsion map. This is a technique that I learned at one of Ted Boarman's classes a few years ago. The direction light is simply created using target spot lights. This is the level of rendering that is considered "good enough" where I currently work. I however would like to start improving my renderings since I hope to start doing feelance work in the future. I would appreciate any feedback you have. I feel I need to improve my glass and metal materials. I would also like any suggestions on prefered renderers since I am not using mental ray to is full capabilities. Thanks, Pete

My name is Pete and I have been working with Architectural renderings for the past 10 years. I started using Form Z back in college and have been using 3D Studio Viz for the past 8 years. I get to do a decent amount of rendering at my current job as an Architectural intern at a firm near Milwaukee Wisconsin. I have recently decided to start my own company and offer rendering services to other architectural firms in my area. I have used this website before but have not become a member untill now. I see alot of impressive work on this site and hope to learn and help as much as possible. Thanks, Pete
