Making sense of VRay Settings. Recently Ryan Lintott and I went to a VRay training seminar by the man himself Vladimir Koylazo (one of the makers of VRay) who went through a number of facets of VRay including a step by step way of breaking down your render settings into logical steps to get the best combination of quality and speed.
I thought this was just too gooder process not to share so have decided to put together the following tutorial taking people through these steps he explained so VRay will hopefully become less complicated, and so you can better critique what is happening within your scenes. The real core of this is every scene is different and has different requirements in terms of detail resolution and Global Illumination. There are many settings posted on the web (I have done a few myself) outlining suitable settings for VRay, and much debate over which setting is best. So here are the steps: In order to break up your scene use the following approach: NOTES on WHOLE PROCESS So what are you looking for? Vray rollouts explained - free V-ray 2.0 tutorial. Caustics are light patterns formed by refracted/reflected light.
Take a look at the rendered image, these are caustics. There are two types of caustics: GI caustics and direct light caustics. In the GI rollout, you may have noticed two check-boxes: reflected and refracted GI caustics. GI caustics are created by GI light (=bounced light). In fact, if you want the GI light to pass trough transparent objects, you MUST enable refracted GI caustics. Also, if you have for example a max omni or directional light in your scene, they will not generate caustics as it is not GI light. Vray-materials.de - Your ultimate V-Ray material resource.

Peter Guthrie. Fran's works, tutorials and industry news. I did the cloth simulations in Marvelous Designer 2, the rest of the modeling in 3ds Max, and the textures and lighting with Arion for Max.
Hi everyone. Here is my latest pet project: This was rendered using Arion for 3ds Max. I modeled everything in Max and used a photograph for inspiration. Thanks for watching! Hi everyone. Happy New Year everyone! I hope this greeting finds you all well. Does anyone else feel uncomfortable with the new Adobe CC pricing/subscription scheme? Since I’ve just upgraded my CS5 to CS6, I think I won’t have to worry about it for the next few years, but I wanted other people’s input on this issue. RandomControl recently released Rhino LIVE, which is the Arion gpu/hybrid render engine fully integrated into Rhino 3D.
