Lighting and Rendering in 3ds max using Mental Ray by Nabil Chequieq

Hello, I am Nabil Chequieq and welcome to my tutorial, you will learn how to light and set up some materials for a nice result in a shorter time.

To start make sure you are working in a metric unit with realistic proportion, first I used a Daylight System



Let's change the setting of the sunlight and skylight to MR sun and MR sky and for fast calculation of Global illumination and activate the  mr sun photons.

Now let's take a look at some materials actually I prefer to render some objects with ambient occlusion in max before occlusion pass for that's arc and design material have an option called  special effects we can activate the ambient occlusion








For the wall I used a little bit of noise in Bump map.
