Hello


I am a 3dsmax 2008 user and I am having alot of issues with mental ray. I have created a model of an audi A4 and I cannot render it in mental ray properly. I want to get it photorealistic but I try to use HDRI and I cannot get it right at all. I need to learn how to set the scene up and get the reflections right. I have attached two scene files of the model if anyone could give me a hand I would greatly apreciate it.

Hi, I'd suggest importing your obj file in the mental ray sample scene provided with 3dsmax. Tweaking the settings will help you understand the main behaviors.

Also read the help about the Arch & Design material and the Car paint as well.
