Before you start
In 3ds Max, the slow part is rarely the model — it is look development. Grab the viewport or render a quick clay pass, then test materials, lighting and styling in RenderChat before you commit V-Ray or Corona time to one direction.
Use a physical camera with vertical tilt correction, or add a Camera Correction modifier, so verticals stay straight.
Switch the viewport to Clay or Default Shading and hide the grid (G), or render a fast clay pass with your usual engine.
Tools ▸ Views – Grab Viewport ▸ Grab Active Viewport, or save the clay render, at 2000 px or wider.
