This tutorial shows a way to create very realistic looking rocks that can be rendered far away or for very detailed work. After failing to find a decent tutorial online I decided to start experimenting and I came up with this. I already knew how to make decent looking rock but I needed a way of generating loads quickly for a very rocky landscape.

Creating realistic rocks with Vray

Software: 3D studio max; Vray

How can I make grass? This a very commun question. If you want to make a realistic exterior you always will need grass. Here is a making of grass by the artist Olivié Charbonneau.

A lot of tutorials out there are talking about how to make grass with 3ds max and V-Ray. Some are very poor and some are absolutely crazy good (see link) with everything in between. There are different techniques to create realistic grass including using displacement modifier / map, modeling and instancing, using V-Ray proxies, etc…

Here we have a good making of. The artist is Marcin Lusnia and we cand find out interesting things about creating a scene in diferent seasons, materials, lighting, rendering and so on.

I would like to show you the process of creating my scene called “Three Seasons and night”. I based on Norwegian architects RRA project “Villa Hesthagen”. The most imported thing was setting up the environment and creating realistic winter climate. The scene was created with 3ds max 2009 and V-Ray Render.
