Hey, hoevelkamp.

First off, vielen dank on the awesome tutorial. Also, sorry if the German is off. Google sometimes hates me. :P

Anyway, I've got a question on your city lights setup. Every time I do it, I end up with a washed out, barely visible layering. Does it need to be a separate sphere from the rest, or what?

If it helps, I am running 3DS Max 2013 with VRay as my main renderer.

Thanks in advance,
PerneseWarrior

Echt ein unglaublich hilfreiches Tutorial! Sehr schön gemacht, wobei bei den Bumpmaps Normal Maps besser funktionieren und im fertigen Render schicker aussehen ;)

Interesting. So what program did you use to make these planets?

The maps and textures I use for the planets are created in Photoshop and then brought into Autodesk 3ds max to create the worlds in real 3d.

I NEED MORE RAM!!!!
I'm just getting started with 3ds Max and can you recommend a good book for beginners. My biggest weak point is lighting.
When I create a render, I then create or find a background to match. Also, my system only has four gigabytes of ram.
I will be upgrading soon, very soon. As far as the books go, would a 'Bible' work or something more pointed to newbees?
Anyway, I really love your work. I hope that I can learn form you.
Thank you for responding.
Glen

Hi Glen,

well, yeah in the long run you'd need more RAM. But in the meantime you'll get very far with the four gb you have.

I can recommend this [link] I'm more of a visual learner, so video works fine for me. Never bought a single book about 3d in my life. :) There are also lots of tutorials on 3ds max available on youtube.

If you have more specific questions, just note me.

Have fun!
