Hey thanks for suggestion. Im still gettin through tutorial. The dont't affect colours option radically changes the image. Vray and 3dmax have a formidable amount of buttons! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35530999/test29.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35530999/test35.jpg

Not sure about the 32-bit. I used maxwell render before with 32-bit and was fine, I just heard max doesn't like blocks. Im new to vray actually any suggestions on my thread http://forums.cgarchitect.com/70903-vray-problems.html ?

Maybe try opening in ACAD and purge and audit model before importing into max. Im not sure exactly the details but i think the more polygons the bigger the file. Maybe explode blocks to 3d surfaces in cad or something.

I've been using maxwell for rendering but heard vray has much faster render times. I'm currently doing a linear workflow tutorial but already have some problems! I've mapped the building but it comes out terribly in the render. However the map seems fine in a test scene. The settings are the same. I'm confused http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35530999/problems/test02.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35530999/problems/test%2001.jpg Any help would be super!

Thanks for suggestion. Im using the Maxwell plugin for 3dmax. But the reflective caustics are turned on. It got me thinking tho and realised it was an option in the material editor. I needed to add another component (a BDSF one) to the water material. [ATTACH=CONFIG]42889[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH=CONFIG]42879[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]42880[/ATTACH] Hi Im having trouble getting the light from above to reflect off the water. The image without the poolwater shows the shadows from the roof (and floating columns :s), but when i unhide the water you can see its not reflected. Can anyone help with this? its annoying
