Hi, I'm totally new to 3D Studio Max. I have version 3DS Max 2009. You will note in the pictures below the blue 1925 Star Coup. The roof, for some reason is a darker blue than the rest of the blue car. It isn't the rendering angle either. Why is this and how can I fix it? Also, the second picture is that of a Maya rendered and material assigned red roadster. Notice how shinny it is. How can I duplicate that effect in Max? I used the reflective red in Max then changed the base color to blue but it still lacks that reflectiveness. Both cars were rendered in Mental Ray.
Hey Mike why don't you use the candy apple red car shader that comes with the 3DS Max library THEN convert the base color and reflected color to what ever you need.
Wow, what a brilliant idea, I wish I'd have thought of that.
