What do you need to know?

First time in 3ds max? I don't think so. Maybe first time with an ArchiCAD model 😉 Lighting quality is pretty good. Modeling is good.

Some textures seem to be missing or is everything supposed to be white? The mapping of the grass texture seems odd. Maybe correct it with a UVW Map modifier.

Are these Bionatics trees?

The render image is highly compressed, which makes details hard to see.

Thankyou for your comments,Iam still working on file.
When there is change in the model Is there is any method to use old 3dsmax file for reference for new file. like the option (use reference)in Artlantis.

Iam using archicad from past 5 years, this is first time rendering in 3ds max.

This is xfrog trees.Since graphisoft allows me to upload a file maximum of 256kb, I had to reduce the the file size and image is not clear.

Thanks
Ashok.

Automatic synchronizing or reloading is not possible. The plugins from Marc Lorenz however provide an approach to automate the material assignments.

And I have, in the past, updated models by reloading (merging), reapplying materials and copying modifiers when used. Then you can delete the old model. Camera's, lights and animation can stay as is. This is not perfect, but in less then 5 minutes, a full model is transfered, so not a big deal.
