Glare Effects
This week's Monday Movie is about how you can create a light glare effect in your renders both in Photoshop and using mental ray's "Glare" shader.
Depth of Field
In this Monday Movie I show you how to use depth of field in 3dsMax's scanline renderer and in mental ray.
mental ray Displacement Quality
In this Monday Movie I show you how to tweak mental ray displacement settings in 3dsMax. Learn how to speed up your renders or get sub-pixel displacement!
