Lighting an Interior with HDRI in 3DS Max & V-Ray | The Mausoleum Lesson 02

In this second lesson of The Mausoleum series, I demonstrate how to light an interior scene using an HDRI in 3DS Max and V-Ray. I cover the basic setup, share tips on adjusting HDRI colors, and explain how to choose the right maps for realistic interior lighting in your archviz projects.

The HDRI I use in this tutorial is available for free (non-commercial use) from Viz People. You can download it here: Viz People Free HDRI Maps

This tutorial is ideal for anyone learning architectural visualization with 3DS Max and V-Ray, especially if you want to achieve natural, photorealistic lighting in your renders.

The youtube video is here.

At Leon51 we create photorealistic architectural visualizations. In these tutorials I share practical workflows for archviz, photorealistic rendering, and professional 3D visualization techniques to help you achieve better results in your own projects.
