I was recently asked to give a talk at the Seattle Revit User Group on rendering Revit geometry inside of 3ds Max. Needless to say it was a huge honor and a lot of fun. As a relative newcomer to Seattle I was excited to be speaking inside the Microsoft Auditorium in the Seattle Central Library.
Topics included such things as 3d plants and grasses, memory management (proxies), VRay as a rendering engine, material structuring, displacement, rendering hardware and more. The whole thing was filmed as a screen cast and is accesible from the 'Film' menu on the left navigation menu or else from the link below. Please check it out!
If you live in the Seattle area and you haven't been to the local seaRUG events then I encourage you - go! It's great and there's always a lot of information and networking. You can see more of the high res renderings on my 'Rendering' page.
Here's the link to the screencast. I start around minute 22 I believe:
