Normally I set my Gamma 2.2 and try to balance it by adjusting Dark & Bright multiplier. How many LC Subdivs and Passes you are using right now?

Try Dell UltraSharp U2412m also. http://reviews.cnet.com/lcd-monitors/dell-ultrasharp-u2412m/4505-3174_7-35002356.html http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dell-Ultrasharp-U2412M-Widescreen-Monitor/dp/B005LNDPPS

You can always use PS Shadows/Highlights

You made me dizzy…

Best thing is, if you are happy with your overall light settings just keep it as it is. For caustics, make a new light which affects Caustics only. Normally I’m using this method. That makes easy to control it.

You have to on 'caustics'. Here is a great tutorial for that. http://www.cgarena.com/freestuff/tutorials/max/caustics/

Why am I even reading this thread in "CGARCHITECT"

Totally agree.. But believe or not in here for smaller shops there are only 3 shops left. Smaller shops getting hopeless day by day with giant hypermarkets. Giants order bulks and smaller shops always have to go below dozen. So almost 10 – 20 % price different there. Ok, back to the topic.. Yesterday I went around and couldn’t find any of the monitors in big or small shops. Couldn’t find a ASUS dealer either. So only option is Dell. In here it’s always dam expensive than US. Pre order 3 weeks, Dell U2412M - $ 370 Dell U2410 - $ 545 (Over my Budget) Sadly whatever I order they are giving just 1 year warranty. Okay guys, Here is another thing, Presently I’m using ASUS VE247H – Which is a good performance monitor for games but colours and brightness not accurate at all. What do you think, if I purchase Spyder4pro (cost me $ 200 with delivery)? Will it be possible to get accurate results with my present monitor or better go for a Dell U2412M?

I saw some great reviews about your monitor. It is 27 inches right? Actually I’m looking for 24 inches as my Budget. Tomorrow I’m going to look around in shops. If not I will have to give an order for Dell, which takes 3 weeks to deliver.

Yap, But the problem is, all monitors mentioned above are IPS panels.

I’m looking around to buy a new monitor for personal use. Main point I’m looking for is colour accuracy. I came up with these 3 options. “Budget matters” 1. Dell U2412M 2. HP ZR2440W 3. ASUS PA248Q At my work place I’m using HP ZR2440W. It is a really good monitor and with Epson stylus R3000 & 3800 gives decent quality and accurate prints as displays in the monitor. BUT, this monitor gave some black corners 6 months after purchasing. Dealer replaced the item within a few days. I saw some really good reviews regarding Dell U2412M. “For now top in my choice” What do you think you all? Please give some comments to select one. Someone experienced any of these monitors much appreciated.

Check whether “Force 2-Side” is off in your render settings.. If yes, ON it and see.

1. Are you using any material to the window? If you don’t want to see any material just delete the window glass. 2. Reduce the Sun multiplier (really low. Something around 0 .5 - 0.01 – Depend on your camera settings) and place a Vray Plane light inside of the room (In front of window – make it smaller than the window). Tick invisible.

Did you set your gamma flow correctly? http://www.davidfleet.com/tutorials/linear-workflow Above link gives a great idea about Linear Workflow in 3Ds Max VRay.

Apply the same image to your environment background. Drag and drop it to a material slot as an instance. Then you can adjust it through material editor easily. Make viewport background to use the environment image.
