Features: This book takes the production process of night scene architectural renderings as its main thread, comprehensively addresses the technical challenges in creating night scene renderings through exquisite examples, and systematically explains the powerful functions and usage techniques of Autodesk's 3ds Max 7, a newly released 3D software from Discreet. The book perfectly combines architectural art with computer technology, offering rich content, comprehensive knowledge, innovative approaches, and a strong emphasis on practicality. It is highly practical, operable, and instructive. The book consists of five chapters. Chapter 1 introduces readers to the basic knowledge of lighting through examples, laying a solid foundation for future scene creation. Chapter 2 focuses on the production process of a night scene villa, using a foreign-style villa as an example to allow readers to thoroughly understand the entire production process from model creation to lighting rendering and post-processing, fully elaborating on the methods of rendering image production. Chapter 3 introduces the creation of a twilight night scene through the rendering of a library model. Chapter 4, through the night scene creation of a high-rise office building, exposes readers to techniques for creating night scene glass and methods of using lighting to create special effects. Chapter 5 primarily explains the production process of a bird's-eye view night scene of a single public building, where readers will encounter the application and creation of advanced materials such as Blend and Multi-SubObjects, as well as an introduction to the advanced renderer LightTracer of 3ds Max. This book is not only an excellent teaching material for students and teachers in higher education institutions but also an indispensable guide for professionals in architectural design, interior and exterior decoration design, and 3D production, as well as suitable for use in social training classes. The accompanying CD-ROM contains some scene model files and related materials required for the book's examples.
