Shaders for 3ds max 9. Faster Rendering. Please help me.

[maugeemilio]

GOOD DAY TO EVERYONE I NEED HELP. PLEASE! DO I HAVE TO PURCHASE THE ARCHSHADERS VOL 1. FROM EVERMOTION ALONG WITH VRAY PRO 1.50. AND THE NVIDIA QUADRO FX 5500 SDI CARD . AND THE 3DBOXX RTS SYSTEM FROM PNY. THAT MAY COST ME ALOT OF MONEY.

IS THERE A DIFFERENT SOLUTION THAT WILL WORK WITH
3DS MAX 9 OR A "SHADER & TEXTURE" PACK SOLY FOR 3DS MAX 9? THAT I CAN EITHER DOWNLOAD OR PURCHASE. WITHOUT HAVING TO PURCHASE A SUPER COMPUTER SYSTEM. A HIGHEND VIDEO CARD. WITH AN EXPENSIVE SOFTWARE PACKAGE LIKE VRAY?

TO ACHIEVE PHOTOREALISTIC ARCHITECTURAL VISUALIZATION WITHIN 3DS MAX 9. WITH THE PRESET TO ENABLE FINAL GATHER ON VERY HIGH MODE. WITH CAUSTICS AND GLOBAL PLUS PHOTON IF NEEDED FOR THE SCENE ETC. THAT WILL ALLOW 3DS MAX 9 TO RENDER JUST AS FAST. AS IF AN IDIVIDUAL PUCHASED THE EXPENSIVE SOLUTION I MENTIONED IN THE ABOVE PARAGRAPH.
3DS MAX 9 SHOULD BE ABLE TO RENDER OUT ANY SCENE WITHOUT IT LOOKING CARTOONISH OR TAKING A DAY OR SO TO RENDER. IF ANYONE CAN ANSWSER THIS QUESTION. PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I NEED HELP REAL BAD, I HAVE A LOT OF CLIENTS WHO NEED ME TO RENDER OUT SCENES WITHIN A 24 HOUR TIME PERIOD. AND I CAN'T AFFORD THE MASIVE UPGRADES OR RENDERFARMS THAT EXIST. PLEASE HELP ME.

You don't need to type in all caps and you should be posting in the max forum... and did you name your 3d studio, 3DSTUDIO?

Anyways start reading about mental ray for 3ds max 9. The arch shaders and multibounce final gather will do pretty much anything v-ray will. Although I don't know if your going to be able to figure it out in 24 hours.

To get a good understanding of mental ray FG and GI, I would suggest start with reading this entire thread
