this scene is my first test shot using 3ds MAX r3 .  the model was built in 3ds r4 years ago and optimized in MAX r3.  mainly 3 effects r put to the test  -- materials blending, particles, and glow.   see the columns behind ?   the materials r blended with 7 or 8 layers of  maps, quite impressive, right? but it's a real RAM&CPU killer.

the final version of this scene. case closed. not gonna throw too many efforts on the same stuff. during the series of attempts of trials and errorZ to find out the approaches of making things look just correct , i realized that 3ds MAX is not a bug-free engine. the efforts that i made in this case somehow r just to detour the bugs that i didn't have a slightest idea that they ARE ones in the first place. some bugs ,however, could not be beaten for sure. in this case the "unbeatable bug" happens when i use the face-mapped particles with a fog effect.  geeez....what a waste of time. so this scene is de-fogged due to the inevitable problem. well, kind of unnatural.

special thanks to [ Neil Blevins ] for his zealously answering of my questions.

special effects volumn light, combustion


the shot was taken  3  years ago .  if  u have visited my first home page,  believe u would've seen this. the proportions of the objects in the pic r exaggerated by the camera lens. and it's the same scene with the one above, just different camera setup and effects.
