hi, see attached image with lights at 32sub divs

yes, the night shot has only had 10mins post. pretty much a raw render. i alway aim to render a close to finished image so that i limit what i do in post.

HI guys, i increades the hemispheric subdivs to 150. i also changed the subdivs of hdri + vray lights to 32 and makes a difference. thanks for the input.

hi chris, you re-iterate my point. adjusting the f/shutter/iso doesnt remove the blotchy effects g

noticing on my current evening interior of house that i am getting too much noise in my scene, Geometry is all OK and there are no dodgey materials!. general lighting is with a PG HDRI and only a couple of lights internally, but there is clearly a lack of light causing the blotchy effects. i want work in a LWF state, so the the HDRI is on a vray dome light multiplier 1, with the values set in the material editor so that i can see the map as i want it. i have then setup the camera, f4, shutter 1/10, iso 100. the light sources in the lamps are vray spheres that have lumens values of 900. the only way i can get rid of the blotchy-ness is to FAKE with some vray plane which is what i dont want to do. i want to keep it real, i have the render setting high for light cache and the DMC is set to 20. i have added the day shot for interest. cheers for the help g

if its a new building i would advise you get proper CAD drawing produced by a suitable qualified person to ensure your build satifies any legislation. unfortunately they can be expensive.

has anyone used http://rentrender.com

anyone know where i can download Orangebox furniture?

(sorry about barcelona chair supposed to be a high res version) thanks gwb90

http://www.flyingarchitecture.com/ nice models

will read up on that. its all seems different because i am used to autocad. thanks again

Gold Star for Mr. Gruhn. those scripts should be and integral part of the program. i can now rotate things acurately without knowing what the angles are. and now edit + create objects on a custom UCS autocad style. thank you + all the best GWB90

david, sorry for any misunderstanding on my part. i am altering a model in max which was originally created in sketchup. my original post was a stripped down version of the task in hand. i see the benefits of modeling exclusively in max and providing you are the originator then i see the advantages, its fantastic and easier to do so many things. i come from an architectural background and use autocad 2D and then in 3D. so modeling in max is different. i am just surprised there isn't a an align tool that lets you align an object along a line. thanks again gwb

thanks for clarifying that point. i was assuming i could align and it would be accurate and no need for guessing. i ended up exporting to autocad and getting the accurate angle from that. thats why i model in autocad. thanks again. gwb90

i am currently an autocad modeller and used max for materials/mapping/lighting/cameras + animating, however started modelling in max and struglle with the basics. base example 2 objects rotated by eye. ones a box and ones a line. simple. lets say i know the bax is rotated 23deg + the line 66deg. i am trying to align the box to the line but its not doing it. i relocated the box to the pivot point of the line which i understand. but why isnt it rotating the box to align. i am using the align tab whilst selecting the box then pick the line. i then want to modify the box to create an elevation on the reference co system but that doesnt seem to do anythen when i do PICK. i am confused. easy in autocad move and then rotated using a reference. the create a 3point UCS and and draw an elevation. i know its basic but i have been modelling in autocad for alot of years. cheers for the help
