Review:

"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
