Book: Realistic Architectural Visualization with 3ds Max and mental ray, Second Edition

In this book, we have tried to do two things: give you a fundamental

understanding of the tools you are using and put you into real-life

situations in which you would be required to produce renderings of

real-life projects.The approach was to go over tasks that an

architectural illustration artist would typically find him- or herself

in. The discussions and tutorials are limited to materials and

lighting?essentially, what makes up mental ray. We have assumed that you

already know how to create architectural models and leave it up to you

to determine what software you feel the most comfortable using to create

those models. An appendix on transferring CAD files from AutoCAD and

Revit to 3ds Max is available on the website.
