How to Create a Plaster Material in 3DS Max & V-Ray | Architectural Visualization | The Mausoleum – Lesson 08

In this eighth lesson of The Mausoleum architectural visualization series, I show you how to create a realistic plaster material in 3DS Max and V-Ray. It’s a straightforward setup, but plaster is one of the most common materials in interior and exterior visualization, so getting it right is essential for believable renders.

I walk through the process of building the texture, adjusting roughness, and applying subtle surface imperfections that bring plaster walls to life. This material is used throughout the Mausoleum project to enhance the realism of the scene.
