Crafting 3D Photorealism: Lighting Workflows in 3ds Max, mental ray and V-Ray Free Download
I wasn't sure what to expect with this book. Photo realism is either make it or break it, and a lot depends on the subject matter. With the cover of this book sporting a massive architectural scene, I had almost bought the idea that the book would focus in that direction, as it is the easiest form of realism to obtain.
I was both right AND wrong.
While the book does use architectural (or design) work as the bulk of its example art, there is more to the content of the book than this topical appearance. The initial section is over 125 pages long and packed full of helpful tips and accompanying images. It covers everything from basic scene and file preparation to advanced material techniques and lighting adjustments. In fact, there are even a couple of instructions for unlocking hidden shaders and even adding soft shadows to lights that don't natively support them.
The book then walks through 4 additional sections with tips and tricks for day/night and interior/exterior scenes. Each section contains about 50-60 pages of technique and instruction.
The only thing that the book could use is a disc with the accompanying files pre-loaded. However, since there are instructions on Page 4 for downloading the files from the 3DTotal Publisher website, I can't, in good conscience, detract points from an otherwise exceptional impression. Still, though, it would be nice to have the files on disc so that I wouldn't have to use my own. :)
Finally, this book is clearly for intermediate and advanced 3DS Max users. The instructions within are for people already very familiar with navigating 3DS Max and its tools. It also focuses heavily on VRay (a separate, paid rendering pipeline), though Mental Ray is also covered, albeit in slightly less detail.
