Workflow overview
• Create project entirely in Revit• Export to FBX file, import into MAX• Test single rendering• Set up animation• Export preview animation• Render and export final

MAX: materials
Familiar way; best for projects where this is not the last step
Avoids materials problem; retains layers in MAX Fastest Rendering

Revit export
• Use simplest walls, floors, and ceilings• Apply materials entirely in Revit• Create and test lighting in Revit• Purge out drawing• Just one 3D view needed
![Page 5: 3D Studio Max Powerful rendering engine, lame-o modeling software.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051116/5697bf701a28abf838c7d895/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
SketchUp export to DWG• No textures• Layers• Use Color By Layer to check

Overview: working in Max
• Get geometry into MAX via FBX or DWG• Apply materials and lighting• Set frame rate, total frames in animation• Modify camera across timeline• Export preview• Render stills as tests• Specify output file• Export final

Hiding objects
• Right-click on object, and choose Hide Elements
• Freeze in Layer Manager• Both are Global changes• Rendered view will leave out hidden object

Testing
• Render at lowest settings and small size first• Render at several points to make sure lighting
and materials are working throughout• Create Animation Preview to test overall
animation• Create rendering at lowest settings – takes
about 4 hours (it will estimate)• Resolution: 320x240• Final Gather quality:

Final production
• Create animation in pieces if you have more than one computer
• Final resolution: 640x480• Final rendering quality:

Composing in Windows Movie Maker
• Follow the numbers• Break apart video if needed• Add titles• Add stills for renderings, plans, materials,
whatever• Add credits• Export
