|A well-organized and comprehensive book,
Co-branded with Autodesk, this is a comprehensive and authoritative book on creating realistic, lifelike architectural renderings with 3ds Max and mental ray. Discussion is limited to materials and lighting, so prior knowledge of modeling/CAD is required. It is intended for intermediate to advanced 3ds users only.
The book is well-organized and very easy to follow. Every step is numbered and very clearly described, accompanied by large color screenshots throughout. The menus and buttons are prominently marked with red arrows, underlines, or boxes to show the relevant settings to modify or button to click. The steps are very detailed and specific. Example: Step 12: “In the Bitmap Parameters, Coordinates rollout, change the Blur value to 0.2″. Far from being just a recipe book, the chapters go over key lighting concepts and rendering terms and how the different tools and setting affect the final render. Two bonus chapters (PDF) are available for download on the publisher’s website, along with all the project files from each chapter.
This is an excellent and practical resource for architectural students and professionals.

|A detailed guide to Mental ray, Photomontage and Verified views,
3DS Max ia a pretty comprehensive and detailed software for architectural modeling – which involves detailed & comprehensive work on various aspects of a creating a architectural diagram, rendering and presenting it.
This book is not a 3DS Max tutorial or a introduction, but for more advanced users.
What this book covers:
– Mental ray : Lighting, shadow ….
– photo montage : Designing elements of a real photo into your architecture
– Verified view : Presenting for planning and marketing
The book does not waste any time and energy in the basics, but jumps straight into practicals from page 1 with screen shots from the sofware with exact instructions on what to click and what to do to get these effects into your architecture.
