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. This book perfectly combines architectural art with computer technology, offering rich and comprehensive content, innovative approaches, a strong emphasis on practice, and excellent practicality, operability, and guidance. The book consists of five chapters. Chapter 1 primarily guides readers through basic lighting knowledge via examples, laying a solid foundation for future scene creation. Chapter 2 focuses on explaining 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, comprehensively detailing the methods of rendering images. 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 applying lighting to create special effects. Chapter 5 primarily explains the production process of an aerial 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 3ds Max's advanced renderer, LightTracer. This book is not only an excellent teaching material for college students and teachers in relevant fields 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 of the scene model files and related materials required for the book's examples.
