    Default Lighting Interior Scenes

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I've been playing around with max for a few days and was wondering what's the best way to light an interior scene (daylight) using the mental ray renderer. I'd like to avoid interior light sources if possible. Thanks in advance.

    In a nutshell, I create 3D models from the client's CAD files or design sketches, which I then use to produce high quality rendered images. Click on the link in my signature to view my portfolio. I'm always looking for work, so let me know if you need any renders. :)

    There is a good tutorial in your Max Help files that addresses this issue through the use of sky portals: http://docs.autodesk.com/MAXDES/13/E...umber=d0e23770
