Abstract
The word “render” means, among other things, to cause to be or become. In 3ds Max, rendering is the process by which you create an image from the components of your scene. 3ds Max uses a program feature known as a render engine or renderer to perform the rendering process. 3ds Max ships with two unique render engines, although additional third-party renderers can be used. These are the default scanline renderer and the mental ray renderer.
