  • Mental Ray 'In Depth' Series - Module 4 - Image Sampling Part1

    Mental Ray

    ***PLEASE NOTE*** This Vray Module is IDENTICAL in content to Module 7 in the VRay In Depth Series!

    For the first time ever in the In Depth Series we are producing a Single Module to cover both the Mental Ray AND Vray Rendering Engines!

    Rather than diving straight into the Image Sampling Controls in the respective Render Engines, we thought you would be much better served by a ‘Foundation’ Module that Explained & Demonstrated just what Image Sampling IS and also HOW it Actually works.

    With that Info under our belts we will then be ready to move forward in with the In Depth Series and start Examining the controls found in EACH engine, learning how to get the best balance of Quality & Speed out of them.

  • Mental Ray 'In Depth' Series - Module 3 - Global Tuning Parameters

    Mental Ray

    Although the Three controls found in the Global Tuning Parameters rollout are fairly straight forward to use, it would seem that many Max Artists fail to take full advantage of them in their Daily Rendering Workflow!

    Module 3 in our In Depth Series Examines 'How' these controls work as well as Running through a number of Test Scenarios to Examine the exact effect of these controls on Render Times & Render Quality. At the same time we also consider their practical usage in the Rendering Workflow. (Max Test Scene files and EXR Renders also included).

  • Mental Ray ' In Depth' Series - Module 2 - Interfacing with Mental Ray

    Mental Ray

    Before 3ds Max Rendering Artists can learn 'How' to use the Tools and Features of the Mental Ray Renderer, they need to know 'What' functionality actually exists, and 'Where' the Tools and Features can actually be found in the 3ds Max Interface!

    That is why this 2nd Module in the MR In Depth Series takes the time to go through every Mental Ray Control and Feature found in the 3ds Max UI. By the time you finish you will have a complete overview of the 'What' and the 'Where' regarding Mental Ray features in 3ds Max.

  • Mental Ray 'In Depth' Series - Module 1 - (Multiple ways of) Setting up Mental Ray

    Mental Ray

    In this 1st Module in the Mental Ray 'In Depth Series' we learn how to set up the engine as our production renderer in a variety of ways, both temporary and permanent. We also look at ways of Customizing Mental Ray Settings to facilitate particular work flows on booting up 3ds Max.
