Wine Carafe and Glasses

In this tutorial, you will use Raytrace materials, Raytrace maps, and Thin Wall Refraction maps, combined with Opacity maps, to create a decorative wine carafe and glasses on a living room table.Raytracing is a technique for generating highlights, reflections, and shadows by tracing the path of rays sampled from a light source. Raytraced renderings are more accurate and look more photo realistic than other rendering methods, but generally prolong rendering times. The Raytrace Material and Map features in 3DS MAX R2 permit selective raytracing. For example, you can limit the raytrace to specific objects, sub-objects, or sub-object selections. Furthermore, you can control which objects are reflected and refracted, and how they are reflected and refracted.
