Rendering Setup
The rendering configuration has no special features and the parameters adopted were basic with low values. I have used
the classic method: irradiance map and light cache, adaptative dmc and exponential for color mapping. In this project, I
have not used the LWF (Linear Work Flow), thus I have not changed the gamma settings in the 3ds Max preferences,

In this phase, the idea was to reinforce the lights of the scene - mainly the artificial lights emanating from the museum. In
order to do this, the layers of the render and the sky were duplicated, flattened and adjusted to linear dodge mode. After,
with an inverted mask and a soft white brush, the effect was cautiously been revealed. (Fig.13)
