So yeah, it has been two days since I got 3DS Max 2009, and have been playing with it. I learnt the basics like navigating and creating basic objects. But before I started any shitty modelling/texturing work of mine, I thought I should start with rendering models in my pledge to become a full boosted 3D Artist xD

This is very basic of rendering, known as clay rendering if I am not wrong. I probably added a few lights and messed up with the material editor. Tried a lot of angles favourably, if they are right and looks good, I dont know.. I probably want to learn the next level of rendering, like getting shadows and other stuff like using shaders and bump maps, so tutorials or helpful comments are appreciated.
