"This guide to creating architectural models with Autodesk's popular modeling, animation and rendering application, 3ds Max, provides a collection of lessons for designing sample room visualization projects and rendering them with the V-Ray rendering engine. The work begins with an overview of software functions and modeling and rendering theory and continues with four sample projects including a loft apartment in daylight, a bathroom, a bedroom at night and a simple house exterior. Chapters provide step-by-step instructions and numerous screen shots and a CD-ROM containing all project files is included."--Reference and Research Book News

This books shows excelent pictures in great colors. The exercices shows the step by step settings required to get the best renderings. However, its not a book for beginners.

This review is from: Architectural Rendering with 3ds Max and V-Ray: Photorealistic Visualization (Paperback)
Working in the field of architectural visualisation myself, and an avid user of VRay I was looking to extend my knowledge with this book.The book is more of a walkthrough/step by step guide of the accompanied CD than anything else, it will show you how to create the images that are in the book but only a very few times does it explain *WHY* you are doing the things that it's telling you to do. It constantly uses outdated methods/materials when there is no need to; such as the shellac material, thus ruining VRays own energy conserving material and potentially producing unrealistic results - something that this very book is aiming to teach you. I strongly suggest taking a look at "Mastering Mental Ray" by Jennifer O'Connor instead. Yes, I am aware that it is specifically tailored towards Mental Ray and not VRay, but a suprising amount of the information can be ported over to VRay and will certainly give you a far better understanding of the ins & outs of photorealistic rendering than this book. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

Misses the mark,
By KWJ - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Architectural Rendering with 3ds Max and V-Ray: Photorealistic Visualization (Paperback)
Pre-release customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program
I was hoping for an in-depth treatment of 3DS Max and V-Ray in this book, but the material is somewhat outdated, and the author seems to only show you how to create what's on the accompanying CD. The most frustrating part is the "WHY question is never addressed in regards to techniques and procedures. For me, knowing "why" helps me learn the concept and logic of a program. If you know why it does something, then you'll quickly learn "how" it does something else, or how you can develop your own workflow based on knowing the logic of the program.The illustrations in the book are beautiful, and the work done with 3DS Max and V-Ray is outstanding, but the book should be more than a gallery of the author's work, and should be more about how the reader can take concepts and turn them into renderings. I'm not sure I would recommend this for beginners, and seasoned users would already know the "how" of working with this software. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

This review is from: Architectural Rendering with 3ds Max and V-Ray: Photorealistic Visualization (Paperback)
While it is true that this book is outdated by a few years (it uses Max 2010 and Vray 1.5) with just the smallest amount of thought, you can figure out the differences. I work in Max 2012 and this book was INCREDIBLY helpful. I've always struggled with V-ray. I took a class on it with little help. This book takes you step by step in how to develop materials, apply correctly, set lights, cameras and how best to render. THIS IS NOT A BOOK TO TEACH YOU MAX. This book teaches the rendering tool Vray.I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn how to do photo-realistic renderings. |
