Hiy'all, I think its time for me to start "rendering" So first of all what do i need :/ I was thinking to download 3dsmax, the free version of Brazil (Rio i think it is) and BIGRender plug-in, will this do for me to start making renders?

I am making my first render with the help of the tutorial in the lfs wiki en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/3D_Render_Tutorial and there is a step that i need to modify things in the Map and Output section in Material Editor, but in Maps there isnt a file named cromowheel_grip :s "In material editor, select ID n°2. Open the « Maps » section and click on the texture’s name (Cromowheel_grip.tga)" And an the output section isnt even displayed :s is this a problem in my plug-in folder with brasil ?

if you use the premade scenes you just have to apply your skin. Of course you can start from scratch but it is much easier when you use these scenes.

hit 'M' to bring up the material editor. Scroll down in the list. There is one material called "Body ADD Skin". Klick on it. Klick on Diffuse (little grey square), select bitmap, browse to your skinfile.

The very final question i found Bigrender in the effect section and i marked it but when i press the render button it is just a small image as always
Edit: i found howto but brazil always says that its limited to 512/384 wich is still prety small

I've not used BIGRender, but Speedykev posted some info here that you may find useful. It'll still render small images, but it'll render the image in small sections that you can then paste together in photoshop or the likes to create one large render Regards, Ian
