Digital Sets using Mental Ray - Part 1

I go over the process of lighting a digital set for photo-realistic rendering using Autodesk 3d Studio Max and Mental Ray as my renderer. I show how to set up Final Gather and Global Illumination using Mental Ray's built-in tools.

how on earth do you have this small a viewership?!?!

[mstarktv]

@TillmansFX I guess I'm just not cool enough, lol. But, you guys are the ones getting correct direction instead of random info. I mean, technically it's random, but I try to make sure everything is by the books and share my experience with using stuff.

Thanks, hopefully I do.

bleh... this was boring and not having much explanation. you probably make a great tinkerer, but not a good instructor.

Hi I'm new to your tutorials, but was wondering why you use 3ds max instead of maya. Is there some kind of advantage to 3ds max, or is it just a preference. Either way great tutorial and thank you.

Stark, how did you get started in 3D and VFX? Did you just pick it up or did you go to school for it? And any tips for people looking to get into the industry?
