3ds Max help? (ANTEC 902)

[XfoXscott]

Hey, srry i didnt know where to put this so just stuck it in general

I've only just started getting into 3ds Max properly and I decided to model and render my PC case (Antec 902). Nothing special just a nice easy enough model to get me into 3ds max

Here is my results so far ( nowhere near compelte)








I modelled it in sketchup and imported it to 3ds to render but as you can see it still looks very, well not very realistic. And nowhere near as good as some of the renders i've seen on these forums.

If anybody knows how I can make this look more realistic that would really help me, thank you

hmmm ok, yeah i guess white background might be better haha

i read somewhere about mental ray aswell but its a bit complicated at the momment as i don't really know my way around 3ds max well yet, i'll persevere though

and yeah i also have started modelling in 3ds max but they aren't worthy of being seen yet ahah

thanks for the quick replys

so its more to do with the rendering than anything else?

ok cheers and i tried maya but i found 3ds easier to use.

It's ALL to do with rendering. A great model will look like utter junk if rendered badly, a poor model can look decent when rendered properly.

I do use 3DS Max as well as sketchup though, those images are just a selection of some of the stuff I've made in sketchup. If you need a hand with stuff, I'd be happy to chat with you over MSN if you use it, to give you a hand setting up your scene for rendering.

Ok thanks, mine is [email protected]
