Hey guys!
Recently I published several tutorials about settings up blueprints for modeling in 3ds Max using different sources like PNG\JPEGs, AutoCAD DWGs, and PDFs.
While these are not V-Ray tutorials per se, I think many archviz guys can find it helpful. I hope you don't mind and find them useful.
Import images to 3ds Max as blueprints for modeling
In this tutorial, Michał will show you how to import design drawings saved as images (PNG, JPG, and other formats) into 3ds Max and set them as blueprints for modeling. On top of that, the tutorial is full of tips tricks that will make your modeling faster!
Learn how to align design levels to 3ds Max coordinate system, organize drawings on layers, align various levels plans to each other, and make sure you don't need to turn the references on and off constantly when you change views!
