Rendering

[matrixdragon99]

can anyone help me make my renders look more real?
I was looking through the renders galellyery and the thread, and i heard the term cube mapping. What is it?

Also the reflections never look right. how do i fix it?
if someone could direct me to a detailed tut, it would be great. ( i already saw the original how to render thread.)

also, for extracting the bitmaps, they never look as high quality as everyone elses (yes i understand the mip maps thing) am i taking the textures from the wrong spot?

PS, yes i relize this is ther wrong spot, but it seems like no one is at the help desk

This is not the place to ask. Look around more, don't just post somewhere random and expect a instant answer.

Try the Art Studio or the 3ds Max Render Help Thread
