Join Scott Onstott for an in-depth discussion in this video Rendering outdoor scenes with the scanline renderer, part of 3ds Max: Design Visualization.
- In this video, we're going to make…an outdoor rendering…with a default scanline renderer.…Open Landscape07.max to follow along.…This scene is illuminated by a sunlight system.…And that has a compass which is linked to the sun,…and the sun object in this case is a free directional light.…It just has the basic parameters.…It has a multiplier of 1.…Let's do a test render and see how this looks.…You can see its the scanline…because the rendering is proceeding…from the top to the bottom.…
We're seeing ray traced shadows of the leaves here.…You can change this if you want.…Let's try shadow map.…This will be much more blurry.…And it will also render faster.…I'm going to stick with the Ray Traced Shadows I think.…We're going to use an advanced lighting plugin…to make the shadows a little bit softer.…But the first thing I need to do here…is change the environment background…because it's currently black.…Go into the Rendering, Environment dialog in this way.…And click right here where it says None.…
Let's choose a Bitmap.…

8/5/2015In this course, author Scott Onstott shows you how to build walls, doors, windows, stairs, railings, moldings, cloth, pottery, furniture, grass, trees, landscapes, and much more, using splines, modifiers, Booleans, and NURBS modeling. You'll also learn to texture-map objects, light them with both direct and indirect illumination, place virtual cameras, render, and animate scenes.
