Render them speechless with this in-depth guide to mental ray
Turn 3D
models into film-worthy digital animations by mastering mental ray rendering once and for all. This must-have guide is the only book on the market to focus exclusively on
mental ray in Maya, 3ds Max, and XSI, and it's packed with techniques and insights you can't get anywhere else. Best of all, the book's advanced rendering concepts apply
to other rendering software as well, including V-Ray, Brazil, Maxwell and RenderMan.
From scattering light to reducing render artifacts to deciphering
rendering and shadow algorithms, you'll get a high-level look at advanced lighting, camera, and workflow techniques that usually take professionals years to figure out. This
valuable book also covers the very latest on HDR image editing, viewing, and compositing tools and features a sixteen-page color insert that showcases final rendered
images.
