How-To Create a Mountain Road - 3Ds Max & Vray

Here is a simple intro to how I go about creating my envionrments, specifically mountain roads in this example. I do not go into crazy detailing here but share the key info on how to start and the basics of creating road marking using Vray Distance Tex to avoid any UVMaps or custom maps.

Thanks a lot for tips, If I may ask what would you recommend for the Terrain or the environment?

So for my actual project project I started off with a dirt type map. Then I did multiple blends of random grass textures, rocks, etc.. Just to give it some breakup. Afterwards I started to scatter CG assets using forest pack. Near the edges of the road I focused on higher quality assets and various things like sticks, grass, rocks, etc.. Then about 40' away I just would add bushes and such. And then the further away I went I would just add lower res bushes and such but still enough to help break up details in distance to still help add realism and break up terrain with actual 3d shapes vs just a texture map. Its sadly a lot of work to scatter all things but def worth it in the end. Hope this helps.
