Firstly as a standard version (finalRender R3) targeted to the mainstream user base, while the other version, called the Studio Edition (finalRender R3 SE for short), is the perfect choice for bigger production houses and advanced users seeking the maximum in quality and flexibility. Both products use the same rock solid and Hollywood production proven rendering core and rendering results (when not using any of the advanced features of R3 SE) will be identical between the two versions. Check out the SE Comparison feature page to learn more about the differences.

If there is one thing that can truly control the balance of speed versus quality in Vray it is image sampling. Image sampling is basically part of anti-aliasing. This tab can take your renderings from 20 second quick tests to 30 minute high quality renders without having to adjust any other aspect of the rendering. They control anything from fine detailed textures, to glossy reflections and refraction, to aspects like depth-of-field and motion blur, all at once. This tutorial helps to make sense of each one and simplify the process. Control the quality of the rendering in the most efficient way.

In this course, we will guide you through the 12 Principles of Animation in 3ds Max.
Why does my characters motion look so unnatural and unappealing? How can my animations captivate an audience? What is missing in my characters movement that will enable it to be more convincing and entertaining? These are a few questions that will be answered throughout this training, all with the help of the 12 fundamental rules of animation. Principle by principle, wel venture through understanding the meaning behind each question asked above, as well as how each can and should be implemented for success. By the end of this course, you will have the knowledge you need to create magnetic, natural, and memorable character performances.

VRay a powerful visualization tool that supports the Depth of Field (DOF), Motion Blur (effect of "smearing" in the motion), Displacement (displacement map, with increasing detail of threedimensional objects). In addition, Vray has its own light source, a system of sunsky for realistic lighting with natural light, and the physical camera parameters, similar to a real photo and video cameras. System Vray Proxy allows rendering of extremely large volumes of similar objects, consisting of total tens of billions of polygons. The newest update to VRay 2.0 for 3ds Max is now delivers new shader for rendering Fur and Hair and significant GPU enhancements.
