Making of a Night Scene with HDRI - 3dbodega Making of a Night Scene with HDRI bokkins Hi guys. I made a night scene tutorial based on my work-flow from my latest project. Rendering an exterior at night in 5 simple steps, using vray. In this tutorial I will go through all the steps that we usually do when I’m asked to do an “exterior night-rendering”.
In order to follow it you need to know the basics of 3ds max and vray. 1) Natural light The first step is to choose a background image of a sky. For this tutorial I have used the image bellow: Now put the desired image into the environment slot (3d max’s environment slot, not in vray’s). In the vray settings, check global illumination, select lightcache for secondary bounces, irradiance map for primary (you could also use brute force, but it will take longer to render).
