3DS Max - VRay Sun system with irradiance map setup 1. For this example we are going to create simple city landscape. So, create this plane as ground. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. This way you will save a lot of render time. osmosis | Study Hall - Interior tutorial POST PROCESSING The final result from V-Ray is close but not there yet. As mentioned earlier, using Exponential Color Mapping produces "washed out" colour due to the remapping of colour values. This is most noticeable in the dull colour of the sky. And using Linear Color Mapping produces good colour saturation, but contains areas that are "burnt" or overexposed, especially on the main concrete frame structure. So we'll try to get the best of both worlds by finishing off in Photoshop. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. The animated GIF on the left should illustrate the effect of each layer. CONCLUSION The interesting challenge in this tutorial was to create an image that had good dynamic range, without having areas of the image that are too dark or too bright. In order to achieve this, we explored several different options and features in V-Ray that allowed us to fine tune the lighting solution. Color Mapping and GI bounce multipliers affected the overall illumination of the image.
VRay Tutorial - Studio Lighting Explained (3ds Max + V-Ray) V-Ray Tutorial - Studio Lighting (3ds Max)Free 3ds Max + V-Ray Tutorials by CG Artist, Géza Kádas CGIndia Feature In this tutorial i will tell you the method of studio lighting. For the rendering i used Vray 1.5rc3, the latest version of the program. This famous chair called "Corbusier" was modeled in 3ds max 9. The main parts of the tutorial are : -Making the environment -Placing the lights -Setting up Vray for tests -Shaders -Setting up Vray for final rendering -Postwork in Photoshop MAKING THE ENVIRONMENT The environment is pretty much simple. We will use a Turbosmooth modofier on the plane, but to controll the way of smoothing we have to chamfer a few edges before. Now we are able to use the turbosmooth with 2 Iterations.

Rendering walk-through animations In this tutorial we will render a walk-through animation of a static scene, where nothing but the camera moves. We will use global illumination to light the scene, which makes the task somewhat complicated. GI is usually too slow to calculate from scratch and with sufficient quality for each frame of the animation. 1.1. The light cache doesn't look bad, but we will need to calculate it for the entire walk-through animation, and not for a single frame only. 1.14. Since all the light cache samples will be distributed among all the animation frames, we will need to increase the light cache Subdivs value. 1.15. During the fly-through mode, the preview display of the light cache is not very useful, since it shows samples from the entire camera path. Now that we have computed the light cache, we need to see if it is good enough for our needs. 1.17. You can notice that in places where the camera gets close to a wall in the scene, the light cache samples are smaller and more noisy. 1.21. 2.4.
Night Interior Rendering Tutorial This is a follow-up of the Night Exterior Rendering Tutorial that I have written a while ago, so if you haven’t checked that one already, I advice you to read it before this one. Background image 1) For the first step of this tutorial you need to choose a photo for the background. Try to find a picture that is rich in colors, with shades of blue for the sky instead of black. 2) Create a plane and place it at the exterior, perpendicular to the camera, like in the picture bellow. 3) Apply a vray light material, and map the photo to it. You may ask why you need to map the image on a plane and not simply drop it in the environment slot.; the answer is simple… if you do that, all the reflective materials in the scene will look transparent, unless you use a spherical environment, and not a planar one. Natural light The key to obtaining a realistic architectural rendering of an interior at night is the color variation in the light. As you can see, that is by far not enough.

Vray window material settings This tutorial has been written for 3d studio max and vray, but the principle is simple and can be applied successfully in (almost) any 3d software package As you may already know, the way the windows look in a rendering can be a very important factor in the overall impression. However, I have noticed that many people (especially beginners) seem to neglect this aspect and the windows in their renderings are either black or mirror-like. Here is a simple workflow that I use most of the time for adding widows to residential building renderings. 1) Take a photo of a window and crop it around the edges until you obtain a result similar to the one below. 2) Select the drapes and paint the black. 3) Open the material editor, select vray material and use the following settings: -diffuse channel – first bitmap -reflection channel – falloff, Fresnel -refraction channel – second bitmap
How to create a lampshade material with vray In this particular example, I have chosen to show how to create a lamp shade material using the “vray 2 sided material”, but you can create other type of similar materials like translucent paper, thin cloth, etc., following the same method. 1) Select your geometry and apply the vray2sidedMat to in, in the material editor. 2) Choose a light grey for translucency. A black value shows the front material (no translucency), while a white value shows the back material (100% translucency). 3) Click on the front material, and assign a vray material with the desired maps for the diffuse and bump slots. 4) Place a vray light (sphere) in the center of the lamp shade and scale it vertically. 5) Experiment with the vray light size and multiplier, and the translucency parameter until you obtain the desired result.
