In case you are having trouble previewing the lighting 1) Go to the upper left of the viewport where it looks like "[+] [Perspective] [Realistic]" And make sure the right option is set to realistic (in newer versions it might be called "DX Mode") 2) If that does not fix it, click on the far right option (should be set to "Realistic") and under "Lighting and shadows" make sure "Illuminate with scene lights" is checked, as well as "Shadows." If that does not fix it, reply to the comment where I told you to to look at the description :P ################################################################## ################################################################## Mental Ray fix (2016): 1): run the installation again and download the plugins you didn't install the first time.(No need to click any links or something just run the installation and you are gonna see some boxes. Tick all of them.) 2): If the first one didn't work for you go on this link: https://autodesk.app.box.com/s/ta5nhu... Don't worry its from the official website of autodesk. No viruses :P. Once you download it extract it somewhere and click on this: Mentalray2017.msi. When the installation is complete you are gonna have the mental ray ( and iray renderer) 3) If you are using a newer version of 3Ds Max, then mental ray is no longer included, so choose "Arnold," instead. It has a similar feature set, and this tutorial should still be pretty much the same. Mental Ray fix (2018 or newer): Mental ray has been replaced with Arnold render. It is a much better renderer, and while the methods covered in this video won't translate 1:1 it should still be pretty similar to get things set up. ################################################################## ################################################################## Boolean Fix (by user "Cooler Than Coolest Guy"): 1.Select the sphere 2.Go to Compound Objects in the Create Tab 3.Select "ProBoolean" 4.Go into the parameters tab on the right of your screen 5.Select "subtraction" 6.Go to the "Pick Boolean" tab on the right of your screen 7.Select "Start Picking" 8.Go into your viewport and click the cylinder
