Week 10, 3Ds Max Lighting Tutorials

Learning 3ds Max

Week 10   -  3Ds Max Glow Tutorial 

          Week 10 I ended up choosing to work more on lighting in 3Ds max rather then the modeling aspect. Glow effects and Volume lighting and Volume lighting (rendering) are the three subjects I picked out to wrap my learning's with 3Ds max. 

This is the effect I want to learn 

             First tutorial gave me the basics on how to apply your materials not using V-ray. It also taught me how to add effects to objects. In the effect panel there are many options and here is where you can change them and add other properties such as an glow. This will go to your mesh that is attached to you object. There are other ways to do it , but it doesn't look the same.

             Volumetric Effects & Virtual Lights can be used you create an unique atmosphere and sell shots. I always wondered how to create these effects. I thought this would be a good starting tutorial for basic lighting before creating my own scene with these effects.

           Seeing as I got the basics of how to create this effect. Next was to  move on and create my own inside window scene with this lighting effect.
