Hello Guys and Gals,
Up and ready on the MBM site is the new 3ds Max 'How To' Module entitled "Just fix it in Post"! If you use 3ds Max to produce animated sequences as Final Renders then you may well appreciate the insights this module contains on dealing with High Render Times and Unwanted Artefacts in your finished Footage. The title, "Just fix it in Post" describes both the workflow and solutions presented in this module. Both Combustion & 3ds Max Composite are used to demonstrate Compositing fixes but the techniques used can Easily be transferred to After Effects, Nuke, Fusion or any decent compositing App.
Check out this latest release from the MBM Team - 3ds Max 'How To' Module 1: "Just Fix it in Post"
Or indeed check out the Module Intro 1st if you like! :-)
Best regards from the MBM Team.
