Hi Guys,

I'm not entirely new to 3d but i'm a complete novice. Due to inspiration from this forum i've decided to try and hone my skills with the 'take and object from your desk and model it' technique.

Here is my first effort. I'd really like some input on how to create better lighting and texturing. I know my modelling isn't great but the lighting and texture is where i'd like to start.

Currently using 3ds max 9 with mental ray.

Cheers.

Read this tutorial, it helped me to understand lighting a bit more: http://www.enjoycg.com/forums/enjoyc...ring-tips.html

Thanks for replying.

That tutorial was very helpful. Do you have any more that are specific to setting the lights up in the scene?
