Mental Ray Render Shadow Density

Hello

I want to increase the shade intensity in this scene but it does not

Density values does not work

You can look at the attached file to examine the scene "1.max"

Hi,

 

Try turning up the Final Gather Precision, and increasing the FG Bounces to at least 1.

 

You can also enable Ambient Occlusion on both materials, or render out a seperate Ambient Occlusion pass to add to the final render.

good luck 🙂

I have a question again 🙂

I'm using mental ray

The reflection of light seems soft

Standart photometric lights. I do not want to disturb the position of the lights.

What can I do to make it look sharp?

Is it possible to provide it with light settings? or different method

I do not want to use this method >> self-illumination

If you're using 'Arch&Design materials', you can make the metal material more glossy and turn the reflection value up.
100 reflect would be a mirror, 100 glossy is a perfectly smooth object.

But give it a bit of time, you'll learn this in college hopefully. 🙂

I was disappointed 🙂
Even the most brilliant form looks soft
What would be your suggestion?
