frank1331 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I am trying to learn Mental Ray for use on some interior projects. Does anyone have any good tutorials that show lighting and materails set ups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJLynn Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Is this for Max9 or earlier? They changed a lot with Max9 (read the threads in here over the last several months and you'll see a pattern) - it's happiest with multi-bounce FG instead of photon GI for most architectural scenes, and the Arch&Design material type makes material setup much faster.

frank1331 Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 Thanks Brian, I ran across your site, it was really helpfull. I was just hoping for a "you should set your lights and materials up this way" type of tutorial. I like to play with and tweek settings, but I just don't know exactly where to start. What type of light to use. Daylight, skylight, target spots, omni lights etc. Then what settings for each one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
