3ds Max 8 Architectural Visualization Part 4 Lighting

In this tutorial, you’ll tackle what is considered by most veteran 3ds Max users as the most critical component of any 3D scene—lighting. Although the topic of lighting is enormous, here you will see just how easy it is to achieve great lighting results in just a few minutes. In this tutorial, you’ll begin immediately by placing several light sources in your scene to simulate global illumination—a...

Daylight Simulation in 3ds Max Design 2009 – Getting Started

A daylight simulation is a computer-based calculation of the amount of daylight inside or outside of one or several buildings. Common daylight simulation outputs are either luminance distributions, i.e. photorealistic high dynamic range (HDR) images, illuminances at key positions within a scene, or various “daylighting metrics” that have been derived from the earlier two types of data. In a predominantly...

Human Head Modeling – 3DS Max

Human head is one of the most difficult to make a 3d modeling. Because the human head are some parts that had to be there and can not be eliminated. This 3ds max tutorial uses a polygon to create a good 3d head. The head is modeled roughly using polygons. The head will get its final form when Meshsmooth modifier is added to it. When the Meshsmooth modifier is added to it the face becomes a so called...
