| Rendering Tips and Tricks: Getting the Most Out of Your Poser 3D Renders- Webinar Join Stefan Werner, Senior Software Engineer for Poser in this 1-hour session as he shows you informative ways to enhance your Poser 3D renders. He will demonstrate how to leverage the new and improved rendering features, including Subsurface Scattering, available in Poser 9 and Poser Pro 2012. Stefan will also discuss how to optimize your render settings to master features such as depth of field, indirect light, and ambient occlusion. Learn why more isn't necessarily better when it comes to rendering and find the perfect balance between quality and performance.

| 3DsMax Mental Ray Glow So this is my first tutorial showing you how to use some tools in 3dsmax hope you find it helpful and remember not to just copy and use the tools to create something yourself.Glow is a material shader designed to simulate an object with internal lighting. With Glow you can now create glow maps that respond to light levels and overexposures in a realistic, photographic manner.

| Ambient Occlusion and Wireframe Shader Technique Mental Ray render tutorial of a wire shader with 3DS max 9.Here is a tutorial on 3ds max 9 on how to create a mental ray wire + ambiant occlusion shader and then assign it to all the scene without replacing other one.Wireframe is a viewport display setting that lets you view objects in a given viewport as a wire mesh. This is the default setting for non-Perspective viewports. You change this setting from the viewport right-click menu.Ambient occlusion is a technique which adds visual realism to the image without being physically correct. The ambient occlusion result can be used to darken concave areas, which human eye perceives as indirect illumination shadows, or contact shadows. The advantage of ambient occlusion is its computational speed. As it may be computed with very short rays and as no additional shader evaluations are required, the performance may be significantly higher than for final gathering.

| mental ray daylight system rendering tutorial This is a training tutorial on using 3dsMax's Daylight System in mental ray.The Sunlight and Daylight systems use light in a system that follows the geographically correct angle and movement of the sun over the earth at a given location. You can choose location, date, time, and compass orientation. You can also animate the date and time. This system is suitable for shadow studies of proposed and existing structures. In addition, you can animate Latitude, Longitude, North Direction, and Orbital Scale.

| HDR in mental ray tutorial This tutorial video will demonstrate how you can use HDRI in mental ray for 3dsMax.HDRI is a file format used for high-dynamic-range images. Most cameras don't have the capability to capture the dynamic range (the gamut of luminances between dark and bright regions) that is present in the real world. However, the range can be recovered by taking a series of pictures of the same subject with different exposure settings, and combining them into one image file.
