finalRender 3dsMax Physical Camera 9 Major Tips

fR is an Unbiased Path Tracer and works effectively with 3dsMax Physical Camera based on real-world physics accuracy so artist gets both the realism, plus flexibility in creating different visual FX.
Tips #1 : fR-SCATTER TOOL (under Max-Modifier list)
This specialized tool can costs you $200 in the market, but finalRender users get it in-built. Adjustments with parameters under Distribution -- Surface plane : Random Distribution / Random Scale : Slope / Mask values. Highly efficient instancing - in this example, shown as hundreds of water droplets and sand grains on the scarab beetle.
- Check out the Distribution - Count value: modify in detail the number of droplets / grains on beetle.
- Daylight system added as source of Light ;
- Thin Film (fR-Material) effects for the shimmering light reflection on scarab body.
Tips #2: Understanding LENS BREATHING (under Focus / PhysCamera)
