Here is a new tutorial that we offer you with Veolia/MSE (who has provided the AutoCAD scene) and demonstrates the workflow from AutoCAD to Nova, with a work on the textures made with 3ds Max.

This new tutorial teaches you how to bake textures in 3ds Max before exporting your scene to Nova Explorer 2009.

By this way, you will get a quality which will be as beautifull as a pre-rendred scene, with fantastic performances under Nova 2009.

This is the method which has been used by Mohammad Yazdi Rad for his demo "Jamé Mosque of Isfahan".
