Create a road material by selecting faces, using a slice plane, and mapping textures with the gizmo to align the surface. Repeat to refine the base material.
Create a grass material for 3ds Max with V-Ray using a grass diffuse texture, adjust saturation in Photoshop, and configure a fluxion map and deflection settings for realism.
Set up a daylight system and quick test render workflow in 3ds max with v-ray, adjusting camera, sun intensity, glass bump, and exposure for a full hd preview.
Create dark aluminum metal in 3ds Max using a VDM material, apply a scratch texture from Photoshop, adjust color and reflection, and assign the material to aluminum parts.
Create a concrete border material by editing a texture in Photoshop, save as concrete, import into 3ds Max, copy and rename the material, and apply the concrete diffuse and reflection textures.
Import palm models, group and modify them, and duplicate to create a composed palm setup. Mirror, scale, and place the palms along the road, adjusting height for a balanced scene.
Move the camera in the viewport and adjust stage targets, hiding or repositioning trees and grass for the final render; then set subdivision, samples, ambient occlusion, GI, and output type.
