Arnold Renderer Now Has Light Mix
Arnold 6.2 for 3ds Max has been released and has some interesting new features. Namely light mix, denoiser and bloom amongst other improvements.
Other than on the modelling course we are yet to explore Arnold Render engine. Is anybody here using Arnold, should I make some videos on it? It does come packaged with 3ds Max and is a solid render engine.
Here is a link to see Arnold's light mix in action.
Image Composition Helper Updated
I am a big fan of image comp helper and I was happy to hear that The Faction CGI updated the original script by Christoph Buelter. Image composition helper adds overlays to your 3ds Max viewport to aid composition.
Download the updated script from The Faction CGI's website.
