Jefferson Grigsby Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Nice lighting tutorial, a prefer it when it is effective, but it can be a pain on complex outdoor scenes. I find that using a tool like Vray or Lighscape helps train the eye to how light behaves, I really wish they had it years ago. As far as Max 5 global illumination, you can do some beautiful stuff, but it is painfully slow. I recommend Vray in a production environment instead.

I remember trying to use even 20 lights back in the late nineties using a P3 box. :angerazz: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Ryan Rubio Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Try the UNCHALLENGE forum somewhere here.. Theres a post where people compare rendering apps. it helped me a lot in understanding different parameters of GI, Radiosityand stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(haven't even started using radiosity for exteriors)... but what do you think about brazil...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Brazil r/s is spot on. very fast and usable in the right hands, and the free public d/l is still available. i'd advise goto splutterfish's site to see what you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VintageTone Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 felix, thanks for the links, those are cool tutorials. I am a new Max 5 user, is there any Radiosity available in it's rendering, or is it still something to work around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 of course there is, that's one of max 5's biggest selling points. as i originally stated at the beggining of this thread - F1 [edit] not trying to sound frustrated here, only max's built in tuts and help files really are an excellent learning source [edit] [ May 30, 2003, 07:41 AM: Message edited by: STRAT ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
