cant find from there

is rio the one?

yup rio is the free trial of brazil, but the renders are limited to a small size (i forgot what size) so you will also need a plugin called bigrender (google it)

hope this helps

okay,everything okay expect hicher resulotion render,i can make only small,other give error
and i have problem with front lights,they black

as i said earlier the renders are limited to a size in Rio and you need a plugin

and for the lights it could be lots of things, so if you could post the render we could have a look and see what is wrong

where to get cmx importer the rscnet link doesent work

Dont fool here. I can render your skins lol. About 600 mb of scenes and wheels :P All the stuff for good render.

ok instead of starting a new thread....

I would like to know what i exactly need to get a decent render...

I am not able to buy programs because i just got the new PS CS3 and i allready have 3dmax 2008

So any free renderer's or somewhere where i can get something like mental ray or brasil as a trial or something would be helpful

Basically what you are saying is that you have seen the previous posts in this thread, read them, visited the links and followed the advice so far, and you are still not able to get anywhere?

Do you ever use your 3ds max 2008? It has a very easy to use Mental Ray came with it. You must have knew that when you purchased it?!

You have all the tools you need for studio quality rendering. Only problem is learning how to use lights and configure your renderer properly.

My method of lightning up the scene:
- Place and setup lights one by one, turn others off.
- 3 spotlights lights are usually enough; Main, filler and highlight.
- Use wide cone and very small hotspot to avoid unrealistic sharp light-to-dark backround transition.
- Light should never be coming from same or opposite direction of camera.
- Mainlight is the mainsource of light in scene, but also main source of shadows. Try to find good balance between those two so there's good contrast in your render.
- Filler light is used to brighten up the dark/shadowy side of your scene. To give some idea of correct brightness, I usually use dark gray or very dark blue color and shadows should be barely noticable.
-Last but not least I use one light above the scene to add highlight on curvy parts and to cast subtle ground shadow so objects don't look like they're floating.

Ít's a renderer that is shipped with 3dsmax. Just like V-ray and Brazil, it has much more features and improvements over standard scanline renderer.

Would it be smart to post a sticky thread where written the main softwares and renderer, their prices, where to get them, preview screenshots (or effective description), the free alternatives.

TO AVOID IN ONE TIME ALL THE REDONDANT QUESTIONS ABOUT GETING WHAT SOFTWARE OR WHAT THE BEST etc.. etc..

boring
