  1. Yes, that's exactly what i'm trying to do. I think it may act this way by design. Looks like we'll have to try this route or comp it all in post.
  2. Been a long while since I was here. Hello again. Got a pain of a problem. 2 V-Ray light planes are kicking off a reflective surface with 'Affect Reflections' only. The reflections overlap. I would expect the 'planes' themselves to be additive, so that the reflection of the area where both lights overlap is brighter, but instead the nearer light occludes the further one. Anyone got a fix? Seems like odd behaviour.
  3. it's a shame you weren't prepared to drive to source a better photo. for £50 in petrol your image could have looked infinitely better. as a side note - does your client have permission from google to use that image?

  5. it's a real time version of the main v-ray renderer. essentially the longer you leave it, the more the noise clears up. not used it much, and there are better people on here to guide you around RT if you need it. i suggest you read the manual rather than get frustrated for 4 days...
  6. the 1 point symmetrical views are the strongest and most beautiful. very nice work matt.
  7. uuuggghhhhh....really? is this still being picked over? why do any of you care? just use whatever you are best with. this is such a massive non-issue.
  8. i was there for dinner a few days ago. what are they changing?
  9. as a UK freelancer you should definitely take out Professional Indemnity Insurance (PI) and possibly Income Protection Insurance. if you are out shooting with tripods you will also need to look at Public Liability Insurance (PL) incase anyone trips on your tripod and sues you. Also if you have expensive kit that you are taking out of the house/studio I would insure that too. good article here - http://www.f2freelancephotographer.com/business_insurance.html
  10. i will be as im on the panel for workshop #6. im already on your list anyway.
  11. this is a service industry. we provide a service to clients. you form lasting relationships with clients by giving them a good quality of service and a high end product. potentially, educating the client as to WHY your product is more valuable to them than your competitors is part of that. if people here are complaining about render times at higher resolutions i suggest you look at your workflow.
  12. interesting point. there is of course another school of thought which says that doing the absolute minimum you can get away with is not going to endear yourself to the client in the same way that someone else who will go above and beyond and show them all the added value they can get from having a larger resolution image. just saying.
  13. give them a nice big image and avoid all this hassle?
