Lighting Advice


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

I am trying to achieve the soft shadows and photorealism of the attached renderings (downloaded from the Steelcase website). I currently only use omni/photometric lights in my Max renderings. I have gathered that to achieve this look I should be using either Radiosity/Global Illuminination/Skylights/Mental Ray/Vray. Any suggestions???

 

Thanks in advance for your time!

Im not really sure how to reply to this.... lol

 

Yes both mental ray and vray can produce photorealistic results, although i personally would recommend vray. Yes you will need to use GI in everything you do, and most likely some kind of environment/skylight if you have windows...

 

Maybe try downloading vray free and give it a shot :)
