Cad64 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 What exactly happened to the sun when you imported it? Why don't you just import the model and leave the lights out of it. Just set up a new sun with the Daylight System in Max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cad64 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 You might also want to purchase a book. There is a lot to learn about rendering, and the free tutorials online are really only going to teach you the basics and show you how to do one specific thing. Here is the book I purchased many years ago: Rendering with Mental Ray & 3ds Max by Joep van der Steen. I learned everything I know about mental ray and rendering from that book.
