If you are using 3ds Max 2019–2023, right-click and choose Maps > OSL > Noise > OSL Cellular Noise . For 3ds Max 2018, use the classic Standard Cellular Map . Configure the Cellular Properties: Good for stage-like setups, spotlights, or lamp simulations
Choose a high-contrast black-and-white image of leaves or branches. complex lighting arrays
To build the best dappled light generator in 3ds Max 2023:
Set the cell type to or Fractal . This creates hard, angular shapes that mimic overlapping foliage.
Historically, setting up these intricate shadows manually required cumbersome opacity maps, complex lighting arrays, and hours of tedious trial and error. The by ArchvizTools has revolutionized this process.
