## Put off Antialiasing setting or set it to a small amount (1 per pixel) | |||
## Reduce Imagefiltering (Filtermethod: Box - Samples 1 per pixel | |||
## If you have mental ray (until 3D Max 2013) set your Sampling Quality to: | |||
Minimum: 1/4, Maximum: 1. Filter type: Box, w/h: 1,0 | Minimum: 1/4, Maximum: 1. Filter type: Box, w/h: 1,0 | ||

If you have 3D Max 2014 and above change the renderer sampling method to classic/ raytraced | If you have 3D Max 2014 and above change the renderer sampling method to classic/ raytraced | ||
##for 3D Max 2014 and Above and using Unified/Raytraced watch the first tutorial (but I recommend classic settings) | |||

# Effective Lighting | # Effective Lighting | ||
## Stick with standard lights (omni, spot, directed) | |||
## Avoid Area Lights and Photometric Lights | |||
## Use Ambient Occlusion Maps | |||
## Use advanced lighting like IBL / HDRI (Image based Lighting), Global Illumination, Area Lights, Skylights and Sunlight only for baking texture maps | |||

# Reduce Geometry | # Reduce Geometry | ||
## model clean and efficient, avoid unnecessary geometry | |||
## use bump / normal mapping for creating details instead of modelling every detail | |||
## use for complex geometry Normal map baking | |||
## if you use sculpt modeling techniques you also should use geometry baking | |||

# Collapse your modifiers (3D Max) | # Collapse your modifiers (3D Max) | ||
## before Rendering, collapse your unnecessary modifiers (saves a lot of memory) | |||
## Exceptions are animated modifiers (skin, morpher, etc.) | |||
# Be careful with displacement-maps | # Be careful with displacement-maps | ||
## don't use displacement maps for creating geometry at rendering | |||
## displacement maps should be used with modifiers which change your geometry before rendering | |||
## use displacement maps only, if they are really necessary (e.g. for creating landscapes) | |||
# Effective Use of Materials | # Effective Use of Materials | ||
## use complex materials only if really necessary, start low | |||
## Prove are Arch & Design Mat's or SSS-Maps really necessary | |||
## try to achieve your look with standard maps for the above mat's | |||
## if you need advanced materials, try to bake materials to texture | |||
