The Autodesk Raytracer (ART) renderer is a fast, physically-based renderer that's available for a number of Autodesk applications, including 3ds Max, Revit, and Inventor. In this course, learn how to get the most out of this exciting, easy-to-use renderer. George Maestri starts out with the basics, taking a look at rendering controls for the ART Render, and explaining how to use the 3ds Max Scene Converter to translate scenes that were migrated from older projects. He shows how to create materials for ART, exploring the basics of the Physical Material, which is the recommended material for the ART renderer. George also covers working with lights, creating depth of field, and configuring motion blur in ART.

Biased vs. unbiased rendering
ART renderer setup
Optimizing for speed and quality
Using the Scene Converter
Creating materials for ART
Understanding physical materials
Working with lights
Creating depth of field in ART
Configuring motion blur in ART
