No one?

Can somebody help me find the latest VRAYforC4D Manual? I've found this one http://vrayc4d.com/manual/vrayc4d_manual_1_1.pdf but it is almost 2 years old... Then there is this new one http://vrayc4d.com/manuals/booktree which I would like to convert to pdf, but I don't know how... Can somebody help me? Is there another one that I don't know about? Thx!

I particularly like the Al-Esayi render... looks really, really nice! Congrats! BTW, which software combo do you guys use?

Thx a lot for answering Dave! I had heard about ScottOnStott Photoshop for Architects (Photoshop 7) but I thought it was too old and completely outdated - a waste of time (and money) in 2010... but I now see there's a new course covering Photoshop CS3 Extended! It seems great!!! A bit expensive, but will definitely be a priority! (assuming you were talking about this one) It seems to be very good too... I'll check it out! I also found these two: 3D Matte Painting and Camera Mapping Contemporary Set Design I don't know how relevant is Matte Painting for ArchViz post-production... Is it just a waste of time? Now that is a great tutorial! Just what I needed/wanted! Maybe not right now... but it will be very helpful! I've already downloaded the videos, but there's no sound! Lucky me... I didn't know about escape studios. (Shame on me!) Too bad I'm not going with 3ds Max... still, that photoshop stuff will be very helpful! Thanks! That's exactly what I wanted to know... *I already saw that thread. 1000! OMG! Sure... and I know that! That's way my next stop is Lynda's Photoshop CS4: Layers in Depth. It might be a bit boring but it's a must! Thanks a lot for you help Dave! If anybody else has anything to say, please do...

looks very nice... congratulations!

Hi, I'm learning Photoshop, on my own, to do ArchViz post-production. So far I've watched these courses: Lynda's Photoshop CS4 New Features Lynda's Photoshop CS4 Getting Started Lynda's Photoshop CS4 Essential Training Lynda's Photoshop CS4 One-on-One: Fundamentals Lynda's Photoshop CS4 One-on-One: Advanced Lynda's Photoshop CS4 One-on-One: Mastery I've gone through all of these in a really short period of time and didn't find it difficult at all. I actually really like Photoshop a lot... that sure helps! The thing is that I can't find any arch related tutorials and at this point I'm not really sure what other tutorials I should be watching... which topics! I'm sure courses like "Layers in Depth" or "Selections in Depth" are always useful, no matter what kind of work you're doing... but from an ArchViz point of view what tools/techniques should I look into? I just want to learn it the right way... avoid making mistakes like taking 3 or 4 steps to do something that could (or should!) be done with a single action. What tools/techniques should I master? I really need some advice from the pros! Thx!

Well, I'm using Cinama 4D so Mental is not an option. If there's no way to get rid of the grain without a renderfarm then Maxwell is clearly not the best option for me. I guess VRay is what I need...

I've got a 3 year old Sony Vaio VGN-FE31H with the following specs: Processor: Intel Core2Duo T5500 - 1.66GHz (x2), 667MHz, 2MB L2 Cache RAM: 2048MB DDR2-667MHz Graphics: NVidia GeForce Go7400 supporting 256MB TurboCache OS: Windows XP Media Center Edition, SP3 I know it is outdated, so intend to buy a new 2.8GHz Macbook Pro 17"! Is Maxwell a good choice or would I get better results with VRay? considering the hardware... I'm not looking to do hi-res images, at least no bigger than let's say 1600x900, but I do wanna do some fancy renders with lots of light/shadow effects (see Luxigon / Labtop Rendering)! So, Maxwell or VRay?

Sorry about this possibly stupid question, but I'm still learning my way into Maxwell... So, I've noticed that Maxwell produces grainy images... my question is: How grainy? I mean, I'm no pro, neither I have a render farm... so how good images can I get with decent render times? Is Maxwell a bad choice if I need 'sharp' images? How do you guys deal with the grain? Thx!

Thx a lot!

I've got the Maxwell for Cinema 4D Plugin Manual where it says: If any non-plugin-related parameters are not explained sufficiently here, please consult the regular Maxwell Render manual for further direction. Where do I get the Maxwell Render Manual? Thx!
