We render on nodes via backburner. Its always nice to see progress, adjust the buffer settings etc, make sure you havent done something daft like leave the region turned on... But after the update 12 the node doesnt display the buffer, Im assuming this is to conserve resources but can I override this?

Hero! Thank you for sharing. My display correction was set to OCIO and not sRGB. I prefer OCIO as it seems to clamp the highlights better creating a more balanced exposure. But I can't use it due to the exported mismatch. Do you know how to best prevent blown out highlights? Particularly in the sky when the sun is in shot. Thanks! Adam

Maybe this video can help:

Hi, I need my render to look the same in photoshop as it does in Vray. But it's always over exposed - attached! I've played around with the various colour management / conversion settings in the 'save image' dialogue (gamma 2.2, sRGB etc). But although I get different results they're never the same. I've also tried tweaking the exposure in photoshop but it can't be matched. It's like there's lost information or something. Even though it's a 32 bit full float EXR. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks, Adam

V-Ray | Light FOG EFFECTS Made Easy In this video, Jonas Noell shows you how to create realistic localized light fog effects to add cinematic atmosphere to your scenes — without flooding the entire environment with fog. https://www.cgarchitect.com/features/articles/08c4c067-v-ray-light-fog-effects-made-easy

Cool idea! Here's my contribution: Models and Textures: www.poliigon.com Models: www.3dsky.org Everything: Chaos Cosmos (included with V-Ray and Corona)

Just sending this out there to hopefully find out about some new 3d model and free textures sites. It's exciting to find more resources, particularly if they are free and include models compatible with MAX or SKP formats. Hope this thread can grow into a valuable resource for someone like me who are relatively new to the world of CG rendering. 3D Models and Free Textures Resource：https://www.relebook.com/ 3d models wesite: https://www.cgtrader.com/ 3d models search engine：https://www.yeggi.com/

I guess we've all been there... What I came to realize is that clients have mainly 2 reasons for this "never ending story": - They simply can't make up their minds (design wise or about the image itself) - They don't fully understand that modifications take time (your time) and time is money (your money). How to solve this? Well, I started to include the number of revisions in the contract, as well as the reasons for the changes. For example, if the client wants me to correct something that I did wrong, I will never charge (my obligation is to deliver everything perfect, right?). Now, if they are changing the design because they saw it and realize it was not good, I will charge extra, by the hour. Then, you'll see that they will be much more careful with their comments. 😉

I learned all the things like 3DS Max, Autocad, V-ray, Sketchup and all at the Eduleem Institute. If U see their 1 year Interior design course in Bangalore city it's covering all the parts like basics to advance.

Has anyone ever had a client who asked for revisions... for the 10th time? How do you usually deal with these never-ending feedback situations?
