Studio and lighting setup for Vray

[Pandra]

Hi guys, I found on Evermotion.org this interesting tutorial.
On this site it's presented for furniture, but I think it can be useful for car too.

In max 8 (MR ofcoz, not vray), go to lights, roll down menu, select
"photometric", there, lights with that fancy square stuff

Make sure you have HSV exponent and color mapping with value of 1.7~2.0 this would reduce light intensity... keep changing the CMap value.

@Broken Bone... Max Photometric Light will Kill MR render speed unless you have patience

After a little crash with my screen (no backlight at all) I've got a new one! so, I post the render as I said (made on last thursday) after a loooong looong render.... (2 hours)
