cousin render esterno max2010+mentalray

[duken]

Good morning, everyone.
I'd like some advice to get an outside rendering of a building.
1.what kind of mental ray setting is to set up, and what are the parameters to act on.

2.what kind of lights to use (and especially where to put them, in what position of views)

I would like some advice to get a good result, without too many claims.

the only advice I feel I give you based on your questions is... study and do tutorials, then in a few months we talk about it. ...

I apologize for frankness, but they are too general questions that denote a "non-knowledge" and do not have a "short" answer.

Hello. .
in possession I have the book of the apogee "3ds max for architecture" but I find it a little discourse and does not explain well things. .
tutorials with mental ray for outdoors I did not find..only for indoors and at most with outdoor vrays.
for example I have quite clear the parameters to use. But because there are many lights available, they have puzzled me to use the photometric lights "direct" that are those that appear more close to the sun, but the manual speaks of using "ies sun light" and "ies sky light", but I only have "target light", "free light" and "mr sky light".

I want to set a daylight system with mr sky and mr sun.

then, enter a daylight system and set mr sun and mr sky, then activate the photo exposure of mental ray....activate the g.i and launch the render...(I am preparing a video tutorial on this subject treated in a basic way...contact me in a few days I sent you)ciao
