Digital Landscapes: 3ds max and Corona renderer

Learn how to use Corona proxy and Corona scatter to create efficient landscapes by converting models to proxy and distributing instanced trees on a height map.

Create a fantasy landscape with a medieval castle, terrain, and Corona render techniques, featuring sunset lighting, vegetation, mountains, fog, and volumetric aerial perspective.

Model the ancient temple, apply materials and textures, craft composition, lighting, landscape and plant life; add atmospheric effects, aerial perspective, fog, clouds with metal painting technique, then finalize in Photoshop.

Model the main tower of an ancient temple in 3ds max using reference images and image planes, then set up corona render materials and viewport shading to guide the build.

Learn to model ancient temple architectural elements in 3ds max using references, including dome, columns, stairs, and a central entrance, with practical polygon workflows.

Place and mirror architectural elements around an ancient temple in 3ds Max, copy and scale sculptures by section, build the entrance and dome, apply boolean cuts, and prep for texturing.

Texture the temple with a plaster base using uvw map and box mode, applying to towers, statues, and entrances, then enable ambient occlusion with Corona for realistic shadows.

Build a complete ancient temple complex in 3ds max using copies, instances, and groupings aligned to reference images. Apply textures, ambient occlusion, and Corona renderer lighting to create a render.

Create a low-poly rock model from a free rock generator plugin in 3ds Max, texture with Corona material, scatter trees, and set up sun and sky lighting for interactive renders.

Create a landscape of rocks around an ancient temple in 3ds max using Corona renderer, setting a camera angle, sun, and sky map to achieve depth and shading.

Finish the ancient temple landscape by adding trees to rocks, setting lighting and aerial perspective, and applying fog with Corona volume for a final render.

Enhance the ancient temple scene by adding cloud layers via tape painting in Photoshop, adjusting hue and brightness, and layering clouds and birds to complete the final render and post-production.

Master digital landscapes with 3ds max and corona renderer by modeling architectural objects, applying materials and lighting, and simulating weather effects like fog and aerial perspective.
