It doesn't have to be this way, though. With the proper professional tools, it is relatively fast and easy to add enormous amount of photorealistic details to your 3ds Max scene. In this course, we will explore those tools, including: V-Ray Forest Pack PRO Quixel Suite (Megascans, Bridge and Mixer) Students will use these tools specifically to quickly create a 3d environment that is fully photorealistic, complete with photoscanned models, scatters, photoscanned materials, professional models and atmospherics. Students will also go over a professional post-processing workflow for environment scenes. Below is a basic outline of what to expect: Basic modeling of terrain in 3ds Max Forest Pack PRO - all the settings you need to know to have complete control over your scene Quixel Bridge - use Bridge to quickly and seamlessly import photoscanned content into your scene Importing professionally made models into your scene to add realism (i.e. Evermotion models) Quixel Mixer (coming soon) - Use Mixer to create photorealistic materials for your environment scene with photoscanned content Atmospherics with both 3ds Max and V-Ray techniques V-Ray Render Settings Professional post-processing in Photoshop - add more atmosphere with V-Ray Zdepth channel, use Camera Raw filter, etc.

This video will show the basics of setting up a V-Ray Sun and Sky and how to use it in conjunction with a 3ds Max Physical Camera. It will also show how to adjust exposure with the camera to get your lighting all correct. The Vray sun and sky can be instead of a Vray HDRI map. It will light and cast color in a similar way, but the color does not have as much variation because it is a clear sky. The colors of the sky can be changed, and give a similar effect to HDRI, by lowering or raising the sun to different angles. This is a basic beginner video for those who are not familiar with how to use these tools.
