  1. Suns can be enabled or disabled in the Vray Lightlister in the Tools dropdown Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk
  2. Change the gamma in PS exposure to 1/2.2 for a quick fix. Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk
  3. You should not use mapped drives. Change to \\"computerwithtextures\"pathtotexturesonthatcomputer"
  4. Curious about the apparent low interest in the conference. Looks like great content and networking. Is it the cost, location, or ???
  5. You can use a mapped drive as long as the drive is mapped exactly the same way on the slaves and is shared on the network. Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk 2
  6. If you map the drive containing the materials exactly the same on the slaves as on the workstation and define the materials using that mapped drive location it will work. Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk 2
  7. The same way you price any work product. It will vary depending upon the project. Break it down into the tasks you know you will need to complete. Estimate the hours required to complete each task (double it). Decide the value of your time and do the arithmetic. Whoever you are working with will invariably ask for changes along the way. It isn't easy and it isn't straight forward. If your careful you can define exactly what you will deliver for the price agreed upon. Always have a written agreement that defines this. Don't be reluctant to remind your client (gently) of the limits of the scope agrred to. And don't be afraid to modify the agreement to cover requested additional work when it is inevitably requested.

  8. Better to render individual frames rather than directly to avi. Better control of the render quality with this approach. Once you are satisfied with your frame quality then you can tackle video encoding separately. Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk 2
  9. Adobe forum suggests that rendering nested files to mp4 will cause corruption. They suggest using Adobe Media Encoder No personal experience so I don't know if this valid advice. Good luck. Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk 2
  10. Apple IIe with an external hard drive. That was 1982 and took it overseas where my wife used it for word processing. My engineering office had no computers at that time so we designed everything with HP calculators, (hey you could calculate square roots... cutting edge!)
  11. Thanks for the suggestions Kris. I appreciate your taking the time to look and comment. Here are some revised renders. I have not yet addressed the grass issue.
  12. Latest renders for residence. Looking for comments and critiques, especially with regard to making the image look more "lived in". Thanks
  13. Amer Have you tried checking the "Include Maps" box in the Network Job Assigment interface when using backburner. Unless all your project specific materials are loaded onto each render node hard-drive, the job will fail because the render node can not find all the materials... unless you check this box. I have not seen that particular error message, but it could be worth a try.
