Someone please correct me if im wrong, but it seems like if the model and materials and everything were done in Revit then exported to 3ds Max the Rendering would come out better quality and it would render alot faster. Am I wrong or does Revit take forever to render?

en Absoluto, 3D Max tiene mayor resolicion de mapeo de materiales... exportas de Revit a 3D Max y tienes que mapear tus materiales por que aunque tus materiales Revit son Tambien del mentalRay en max no tienen la misma calidad. ademas las escenas en 3D Max son mejores. Saludos. agrego unas pruevas de trabajos elaborados en Reviy y exportados a 3d Max.

indeed, you can use optimized settings to achieve the same rendering quality in 3dsmax, BUT if you use high or medium quality for final gather, or millions of photons in GI... then you have times aproximated to revit. Use revit for still renderings, and use 3dsmax for videos( with optimized settings)

I need help for exporting 3ds max model to Revit. I use this tutorial: http://www.revitcity.com/tutorials/how_to_grow_your_family/ . Everything is okay, i do all the steps, but i think that i'm not doing right step.11, because when i import the model in revit, changing the materials they all stay white and doesnt change. Can someone explain me step by step how to change the materials. I do it this way: 1.Go to object styles- imported objects 2.Press "render material16..." and it takes me to material browser. 3.I press edit material, duplicate a material and put the texture i want 4.The result is still white materials and no option for changing them. Please help )

On the third post you show a list of materials in revit named as
Render Material 165-82-165, with a category unassigned.
You can change the material name, and within revit you MUST edit the properties of the materials, as explained
in the tutorial. The main problem is to know wich material correspond in revit, so what i do is change the surface pattern
to solid, and then select any color for that pattern. Then rename the material accordingly, and set the bump, glossiness, diffuse textures in revit.

it is pretty much like this.
modelling program---> autocad format (dwg) ---> revit
That would go like:
separate material by color--> recheck the material in autocad --> import to revit

Revit doesn't like multimaterials, or materials with masks.

You dont have to create a new material, you grab the already created ones in 3dmax, colored in autocad,
and in revit you put the final look.
The problem was on the final minute of your video 1, you create a new material.
You have to figure wich ones are the ones that you create, checking in SHADE mode in revit wich ones belongs.
Then you just rename those, and set the looking of those.
Here, have a video.
