MY3D + Final Render

Testur · Post by **Testur** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 2:49 pm

I'm beginning to get the hang of this now.

This "cathedral" was made in 3Dmax6 with lightmaps rendered with Final Render's Quasi-montecarlo outdoor renderer and then exported to MY3D.

Entrance
Backside
Inside Arch
Even more inside Arch
Front

I would not name it "cathedral" better would be "small chapel" ...othervise it's nice

ah ...ok

..do you plan to use it for something or it is just a test?

interesting; I'm both a fan of Zdimitor's MY3d format as well as of Final render.

unfortunately the links to the pics are dead.

Upgrading the webserver. I'll let you know when the pics are back up.

Have this wild and crazy idea like everyone else around here to eventually make an MMO.

Might stuff it in there, I don't know.

great shots!

nice GI. Final Render definitely adds realism to the scene.

I once tried baking my textures using FR but got errors. I'll give it a try with Zdimitor's latest exporter.

Nice work!!!

btw. It looks like a Mausoleum to me. Great texturing work

Thank you.

Maybe I should put a poll up? Is it a cathedral? A church? A chapel? A mausoleum? A dishwasher?

There's a new MY3D exporter out? Does it support multiple textures per mesh? Alpha mapping?

nope, when I sai a new My3d I meant the latest version; the one that embeds the lightmaps in the my3d file.

and yes, a poll would be cool.

afecelis: to bake texutres rendered with finalRender, you should use tbaker that comes together with finalRender.

how much does final render cost?

afecelis · Post by **afecelis** » Sat Jan 15, 2005 9:55 pm

stage 1 (the latest version) US$750 but stage 0 (first version) costs US$90 nowadays-since the release of Stage1. (the bad thing is I bought it for $700!!!)
Stage 0 does pretty much the same, the only difference is that it's not an integrated renderer as ST1 is. The workflow in both is a bit complex, but once you get the idea of working with GI you get some amazing results. Oh, I think st0 only comes for Max4 and Max5.

@Genesys: thnx for the tip, gonna try it. So you can also use FR baked materials as well? No crashes with Zdimitor's exporter?
