What i do :

1) Take model

2) Stick some sort of surface (e.g, table) behind it

3) Choose good camera postion

4) Arrange lights so it looks good

5) Render

I use Deep Exploration if your intrested

well i made the model in 3dsMax, you use deep exploration just to render it right? u dont model with it, and do u have a link to this deep exploration thing. TY for ur other posts and for not flaming the new guy

<a href='http://www.righthemisphere.com/products/dexp/' target='_blank'>clicky for DE</a>

EDIT - Yes DE is only for rendering AFAIK.

I don't have 3dsMax so i don't know how to use the inbuilt renderer but i'm sure someone here will tell you.

Tip : Just mess around <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Ty jimmy, i think this model is comig along nicely, eh its my first attempt to make anything, tired of staring at useless tutorials....need to read sum tuts about unwrapping and skinning, etc. TY i hope sum1 could let me know how to drop a backround and what lighting settings to use in 3dsmax built in rendering, i know Chrono uses 3dsmax, maybe hell drop in.

Allow me to help, as i gave chrono his rendering method.
(this is in 3ds max btw, i think gmax will work 2).

1. Take a skylight and position it over your model. (cone side-up)

2. Press 8 and turn make it a white backround

3. press 9 and choose light tracer

4. Rnder away!


BTW i may have confused 8 with 9 and 9 with 8, so try if i got it wrong, sry
