各位,

請問 FinalRender 其實是什麼, 作用是在那裡呢??
而且有分不同的stage, 那又是什麼呢??

Final Render(FR) is a plug-in renderer for Max, just like Mental Ray, which also create radiosity and caustic effect, but the benefit of FR id speed, the reality is more than acceptable, when you compare with Mental Ray, but I think I'll stick to it when it comes to HDRI.

I use 3ds max5.
People told me I should install final render 1.5 for max5.
After installation, there are just FR light.
And other people told me that I should install final render stage-0 + final render 1.4 for max + final render 1.5 for max5.
how can I do?

I'm still using Max 4.2 + final render, so I'm not able to answer your question, but I've tried the default GI of Max 5 and it works pretty good-or acceptable(not that accurate if you're picky).
But I don't know the latest version of FR compatible to Max5, is it FR 1.5?If so, use it but beware of the bugs.
