I work with 3d max but i really dont know the particular vray build to use for my 3D max models, Please any help would be great.

truetalk
just get any 3dmax/v-ray plugin,
the product or version dosent matter, v ray is d same no matter d type.wat matters is ur ability to twik settings so as to have quality output.

Very good lighting from the light bulbs in the house you rendered. Cool!

am i the only vray user?
can somebody post something?
ahahahaa

Ok then, here's one

nice one codename dat cool
but are u sure it renderd with V ray
den i have a little prob with d car reflection
wat did u use for d model?
are u an architects?

nice try codename, but what's with your grass, what type of texture did you apply.

suggestion, try making some color correction in photoshop if you know how to do it, decrease the brightness and tweak some color setting to get realistic image

try increasing the bump map to make the road tiles more real. i try to assume u only use Vray skylight or are u lighting with HDR image?

try posting your setting let's seee. but nice try and keep it more, Vray can do marvelous stuff and incredible photorealistic pictures.

check my cute room Vray 3Dmax 9

Settings
image sampling , QMC Adaptive
Lighting , Skylight with multiplier of 4
Indirect illumination , primary bouce (irradiance map)
Metrials , Vtl Materials

Note that the scene has no light, only make use of the skylight that refract through the mirror. i will also be working on the night scene which we will have blue light reflection from outside room.

billie! i will make few comment on ur scene above, or if u dont mind i like u to send the 3D file to me, i will work on it and revert with explanation. day scene are easier with Vray while night scene are much of technicalities.

good work tunslike
i most confess but i think adding a lil bit of shadows might enhance ur model
wat software did u use to model?

Alright Sir,

your confession is right? but it depends on the feel of the scene, take a look well, there are shadows, bros check my settings nowww
no lighting only illumination from skylight and the scene is interior trying to illuminate itself with the light from outside, and you are a exprience Vray and Skylight user then we both know that skylight only produce soft shadows not hard, notice the direction of shadows is inline with the direction of light.

from Maya GI Setting will be photo rays, more photo rays.

software = 3D Max9, Vray 1.5.

Thank you sir, tunslike

tunslike
will send d model to u
wat format should i send?

Billie, sup man, i think 4 ure 1st model, nice choice of colours, n i feel the materials selection but u need to work on ure lightning posiston and also the background can be changed. try throwin sum life into it,cars n stuff. not bad tho!

the work was vray, for sure. I used Catmoll Rull Image antialiasing filter.
Will be greatful if u send me the image correction settings in fotoshop.
And d grass, i could av done a much ealistic grass but i didnt really see d point, he emphasis was on the house.
THANKS for the comments.

WOW! 2 every poster. i'll contribute some other time. And i might come up with a Vray rendeing competion so be set! HAPPY 'VRAYING'

Here r some of my new stuffs. all Vray cooked.

Pretty good stuff zPixel. I like ,

You guys are amazing. Wat's v ray like? Autocad?
I work wit 3dsmax.

V Ray is just an advanced rendering engine that has a lot of computation to simulate the way light is actually reflected, refracted, diffused, etc. Really cool. I am sre you are familiar with the terms Global Illumination, Caustics, Area shadows, etc. Rendering engines like Vray, Mental ray and Renderman make them easier.
For example your render above. It needs global illumination to properly disperse the lights as in the real world. That would get rid of the harsh shadows and the overall harshness of the image. A simple default skylight in 3dmax could improve it a great deal.
I remember when I was learning max before the skylight was introduced. There was a trick i used to use where i would create a dome of lights to light up the scene. It has faster rendering but the image doesnt look as good. Good for all those sharp-sharp jobs.

hey guys just joined d world of 3d. this was done with vray of sketchup. watcha think??

@x-wit Nice work. Na your house be dat? U get money oh.

been so long.This was my last full 3dmax /vray job, i just realized that it was over a year ago.
After Effects has occupied my brain, i need 2 get back 2 my 3d roots,

Nice work. One final touch though, add a light mist to the overall scene, thicker at the bottom and fades out at the top. Do you do animation? But PH far oh.U dont come to Lagos?

Hey Guys, I am not a Vray user yet. I hope to purchase that sweet plug iin when I get to the US. For now I use mental ray, hope i can contribute.

This was also done in 3dmax. I am also good in animated effects for movies, it is a shot from a simulated explosion that
resulted into a wild fire.

And, since we seem to be talking about external rendering, this is a short from a movie i am working on. It is supposed to be
the gates of heaven but, i still have to tweak it. I am sure outputing these in vray would have given me better results.

What do you think folks?

hey cgking luv ur renders i mus say i dont hav to look hard to know that your fire was made with the fume fx plugin. am i right.

@ xmothermik

Thanks bro, that was encouraging. And boy have you got sharp senses.
Fume FX for max 9. It cost me a fortune to get that software.

Thanks
