(国外)MAX+ZB+法线贴图应用教程~!!!

There are tons of good texturing/shading tutorials so I will not cover this part. (For this one I used a lot of camera mapping/render to texture) It's a big piece so I will try to make another tutorial on that next time.

I have all my models in 3dsmax textured and with displacement modifier, I can start the lighting.

For this scene I used 4 lights. A sky light (intensity 0.3) for the ambient, a directional light that will affect just the diffuse, another one just for the specular, and what I will call "red light" for the back light. This way I can move my "spec" light to have exactly what I want.

When I have all my lights I do a grey render to check if it's what I had in mind.

I'm not really sure about the back light intensity and I don't want to spend too much time adjusting the light. So I turn it's color to RED, turn off the other lights and do a render. I will use this render later on Photoshop by selecting only the red channel, copying it on a new layer and turning it to white. I will be able to play with the light intensity directly in Photoshop instead of 3dsmax.

I do my render with the textures activated and the RED light off. At this point I don't care about the colors and the contrast because I plan to tweak everything in Photoshop.

Before I go to Photoshop I need an occlusion render. There are different ways to do it and for this one I used only a sky light (intensity 1) and a white material on all my models. I will use this render in multiply mode in Photoshop to accentuate my shadows.

Ok, now I have everything I need, I can close 3dsmax and go to Photoshop. First I take my basic render and add the occlusion pass

To have more consistency between the colors I add a color layer in soft light mode

The red bandana alone is a bit disturbing so I have to find a background picture with some red color to do a recall. I did a montage with 3 different pictures; I blurred them, added some noise and played with the colors to get what I wanted.

Now that I have the right colors and the background I can use the RED render for the backlight. On this one I used it twice. One in normal mode and a blurred copy in screen mode.

Rock 'n' Roll" by Rodrigue Pralier

I don't really like clean renders and prefer when you can feel it was handmade. To have this effect I add dirt, textures and various things.

play again with the levels, the curves etc. in order to have more color contrast
