Digital Tutors - Taking a Previz Scene to Look Development in 3ds Max and V-Ray

Duration 1h 39m Project Files Included MP4

In this series of lessons, we'll look at techniques for creating photo-real lighting, shading
and texturing using a reference image as our guide. As audiences demand greater immersion in
entertainment media, adding realism to an artificially created scene is an essential part of
visual effects work. The use of reference and real-world texturing is increasingly important in
this process.

Starting with a previz setup and background plate, we'll add image-based lighting,
displacement, and naturalistic weathering to transform a simple scene into a realistic
environment ready for production.
