Default Scanline Renderer in 5 Easy Steps (For Small Interior Spaces)

Hi guys. Finally, natapos ko din itong default scanline tutorial ko. mga references ko nito ay sina smoke3d at enigma, thank you mga idol ko. hehe. I tried to simply this tutorial para mas mabilis maintindihan at maalala. Marami pang ibang ways to do scanline, and this tutorial is one way. sana magustuhan nyo. ok, lets start!

This tutorial will focus on how to use the 3d studio max default scanline renderer for small interior spaces. for this tutorial, we will be needing a textured interior model. You can download the model here. CLICK ME.



STEP 1 - Add 1 omni light in the middle of your scene, this will serve as your ambient/fill light, you can increase or decrease its value depending on how you wanted your scene being lit. Check the "use" and "show" on your far attenuation, this will dictate the coverage of your fill light. On advance effects rollout, check ambient only.

STEP 2 - Add 16 omni lights, split it into two layers of 8's. I call this "the omni field". This will enhance your shadows. Again, use far attenuation as not to over brighten your scene. In your shadow map params, change the size to 64, this will fade your shadow to a minimum.

STEP 3 - Add your IES Lights

STEP 4 - Add a direct light directly on top of the center to further enhance the shadow on the flloor.

STEP 5 - Add an ambiently only omni right below your table to darken the shadow cast by the lights. use a negative value to introduce dark light into the scene. and we're done! Hope you enjoyed the tutorial as I did while doing this. Yay!

wow! thanks for sharing sir bokks! ganda ng pagka timpla ng shadows sa scanline mo..

this is realy great tol...

Thanks din mga bro. I'm happy you like it.

Waaaaa...ngayon ko lang nakita ito ah. Thanks for sharing Sir Boks, ang ganda pa nung end result. For sure magagamit ko yung techniques dito sa mga interior spaces sa project ko ngaun.

Thanks for sharing sir... it helps a lot

thanks for sharing this master bokks.

ok to sir ah!! try nga hehe

thank you tahnk you,,,sir
makakatulong ito sa mga gaya kong
starter palang ng max,,,

Wow.. tnx po.. now I'm convinced na meron din pa lang side ung max na pagka user friendly.. considering us newbies.. salamat po sa tots..

wow... kala ko nung una vray.. hehehe... (hindi kc nagbasa... naku.. hehehe)
turbo friendly sir... tanx tanx sa tutorial....

ganda po sir nang tuts na to!

perfect scanline master bokkins...tnx for this... ngaun ko lang nakita toh

hello po, san po kaya pwedeng makapag download ng textured model ng room, deleted na raw kasi ang file sa rapid share. Thanks!

scanline rules!!! at least meron na kming idea kg paano gumawa ng fake g.i. sa scanline esp sa interiors..sa ganung daming light at ska sa soft shadows, how long ung rendering time bro?

galing sir! ngayon lang ako nakakita ng scanline render na ganito ka-ganda..
thanks for sharing..

nice & thanks.........................

ang husay nga pagkagawa at pag pa liwanag. mabuhay ang pinoy!

This is great, ask ko lng master wat unit ginamit mo jan, millimeters ginmit ko pero overbright sya. tnx

nice one boks! this principle also applies for large interior spaces. (remember the centennial post ha ha ) u just have to manage your light settings to control rendering time,esp. if you plan to use it for production with very tight deadlines. hail to smoke3D!

some more points...

to achieve softer shadows, add more arrays of omnis with shadowmaps set to low and manageable values.

add omnis to simulate bounced lighting. a red wall covering would bounce red gi so i would simulate that by adding an omni with an omni with a red color value. depends on you scene actually.

add an omni with a negative intensity value to remove/lessen light from unwanted areas.

good tutorials po sir bokks. i usually do default scanlines rendering with light trace. maganda output kaso bagal sa pc ko.

aha vray must die tutorials..... astig
thanks Master Bokkins cheers

thank you so much sir bokkins sa knowledge.. laking tulong po to.

thnx sir kinns

hello sir..ganda..light tracer po ba ito or radiosity?thanks
