I switched from FormZ. Took me maybe 2 months to be able to model anything, I am sure it will be faster for you. Did it for all the resourses and most of all to be able to handle very large projects, like city blocks with lots of trees. I have used mental, octane, corona, and Vray. Vray took me a long time to learn compared to the others. But always come back to it becuase it is the best in quality and speed. I need a lot of speed and I don´t have the most powerfull computer in the world. I love using Corona, but for some scenes it is too slow. I recomend Octane only if you have more than one very powerful GPUs in your PC.

I switched to 3DSmax for ArchVis. The amout of plugins (like iToo forest) is amazing. Also endless tutorials, help and free stuff. Try to have both in your bag, who knows what a future client needs.

Make sure there is something to reflect and don't be afraid to crank up the fresnel IOR all the way up. Also... http://www.vray-materials.de/

OK so this forum directed me to this realy nice tutorial. http://www.aversis.be/tutorials/vray/vray-20-gamma-linear-workflow_01.htm Using the correct Gamma settings solved my problems.

Hi all, I am trying to use RT but the image I get is much darker than what I get when I switch to production render. Also I can't figure out what gamma and LUT setings I should use. Tutorials disagree. Right now I have: 3DSmax options, gamma and LUT disabled. - Vray color mapping and gamma ON, gamma 2.2. BUT I leave the show sRGB uncliked and linear workflow cliked, even if I dont edit in linear workflow after. If I don't click that I don't think I am getting real colors. I am doing this right? Is this why I don't get the same colors in RT and PR? Thanks.

Wow, surprised. Thanks guys.

Hi all. It seems I lost the ability to create vray cameras. Only the option to create a dome camera shows up. The existing cameras work and I can also duplicate them. I just can't create new ones. Of course very anoying in new documents. Should I check if there is a .dlo missing? Please help.

Thanks mj, I´ll check for that.

Do you have glossy refractions switched on?

Hi everyone, can anyone tell me what this is? I opened an oldfile that I have rendered many times before. Now this happens. The only difference is that I have instaled the iToo software forrest tool. Please help. PHEN 0.5 975MB fatal 051109: runtime exception 0xc00000005: access violation

Hi all, I am kind of new at this. I have done about 5 different projects allready in Mental ray and I never had this problem before. I was working on a simple render, did many previews, merged another 3DS project to use some furniture from there, and all went to hell. Render time is 10 time longer (about 10 minutes now) and I can't get rid of a buch of blocks I merged. I noticed Mental now spends 10 minutes translating scene. Also I can't move or delete humans I added with the populate tool. Help Please. Thanks. Vic.
