When i apply vray fur to a textured material, either to achieve grass or rug. it doesn't apply well. At the end of the rendering, i am left with a blue material, or a blurred textured map without the fur appearance.

I really need guidance on what computer type & Spec and what programs I should use for a new position. I will be working in a design studio creating visualizations of interior layouts/scenes and of one-off furniture. Working mostly with interior designers and furniture manufacturers. To date I have been working as a residential architect drawing mostly in AutoCAD and only dabbling in the arch viz. I have used Sketch-up for my 3D modelling and a VRay plugin (sometimes using vizualizer) for my renders. The computer I am currently using has struggled while producing renders i.e. freezing and taking a long time. I have being using Windows although I am open to change. System Model HP Notebook Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 8.00 GB Processor Intel® Core™ i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz, 2901 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s) I have been asked for my equipment wishlist from my new employer and I am a little lost currently and I need guidance. I plan on continuing to use AutoCAD for my technical drawings and shop drawings of furniture but I am willing to learn new programs for my 3D Modelling and Render. I would be sincerely grateful for a little guidance from those more experienced in the Arch Viz field and Interior Design field. Thanks a million in advance and if you would like any further information please do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks in advance, Colin

As the title suggests, I am building a workstation for my brother. He is a 3D Modeler and Digital painter in vfx industry. He uses following softwares : 1. Autodesk Maya 2015 2. Adobe Photoshop CS6 3. Pixologic ZBrush vR6 4. Autodesk 3ds Max 2015 5. vray or mental ray for final output rendering. My budget is about Rs. 2lakhs (approx 3165$). So, the following system is what I have designed: 1)Processor:- Intel Core i7 5960X Haswell-E....Rs. 72,499.00 (approx 1147$). http://www.primeabgb.com/intel-core-i7-5960x-haswell-cpu-processor.html 2)Motherboard:- ASUS X99-PRO X99 Socket 2011-v3 Motherboards....Rs. 24,560.00 (approx 388$). http://www.primeabgb.com/asus-x99-pro-x99-socket-2011-v3-motherboards.html Was going for asus x99-A, but for 2741Rs.(approx 43.51$) more, I will be getting additional wireless support. 3)RAM:- Gskill Ripjaws 4 F4-2400C15Q-32GRR DDR4 RAM Memory....Rs. 37,691.00 (approx 596$). http://www.primeabgb.com/gskill-ripjaws-4-f4-2400c15q-32grr-ddr4-ram-memory.html Since maximum amount of RAM power is needed during rendering. 4)Storage:- a)SSD: Samsung 850 Pro-Series 2.5" 256GB SSD (MZ-7KE256BW)....Rs. 13,000 (approx 206$). http://www.flipkart.com/samsung-850-pro-256-gb-laptop-internal-hard-drive-mz-7ke256bw/p/itmeyfbwnjarzvam?pid=IHDEYFBW2HJFNZSB&otracker=from-search&srno=t_1&query=samsung+850+pro&ref=45c47fb5-71b2-443f-a95f-d0eec24a1ec1 b)HDD: WD Black 1TB Desktop Internal Advance Format Hard Drive (WD1003FZEX)....Rs. 5,840.00 (approx 92$). http://www.amazon.in/WD-Desktop-Internal-Advance-WD1003FZEX/dp/B00FJRS6FU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420222608&sr=8-1&keywords=wd1003fzex 5)CPU Cooler:- CORSAIR Hydro Series H110 Extreme Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler.....Rs. 10,250.00 (approx 162$). http://www.amazon.in/CORSAIR-Series-Extreme-Performance-Liquid/dp/B00B4OCW7K I was going for nzxt kraken x61 but its unavailable here 6)OS:- Windows 8.1 pro 64 bit.....Rs. 8,890 (approx 141$). 7)Cabinet:- Nzxt Phantom 630, CM storm Trooper(without window), Corsair graphite 780T or corsair carbide 500R. 8)PSU:- I don't know how much power will be required. I have already bought the processor, RAM, ssd+hdd since there was new year's sale. I have nvidia quadro 2000 graphic card in my previous rig. I will be using that. 630, trooper or 500r selected solely because of their side fans. As I am planning for AIO cooler, I don't want to overlook cooling of gpu and vrm. I live in Mumbai, India and here, in summer, temps rise around 35C. Also, the rig would be used for about 15 to 18 hours daily. So I am leaning towards cases with side fans. Also I am planning to overclock upto 4.5GHz if possible. So, please suggest me the proper case, psu and let me know if I would be requiring any more fans depending on how much power I would be required and how much heat will be generated. PC would be used for work purposes only and no gaming will be done. Ahh! Sorry for the long post but want to clarify all points. Please help. Any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks in advance.

hi Guys, we are a company based in india, we are planning to expand our business. we would like to get the best possible system for our domain of work(3d arch viz)approx 3 walkthroughs per month. As of now our high end systems are equpped with i7 and 920 2.6ghz.with 6GB ram. during our research we came across this http://h71016.www7.hp.com/dstore/MiddleFrame.asp?page=config&ProductLineId=431&FamilyId=3094&BaseId=31393&oi=E9CED&BEID=19701&SBLID= irnoy is that we dint know to configure the right specs,since we are novoice in hardwares. please let us know your thgoughts on this or suggest us something which enahnces our rendering and also workflow.

Hi, I am trying to recreate the attached scene and I have a problem with the imported 3D model of the plant in this scene, it appears as a 2D plant pasted onto the wall when rendered. Attached is the original scene, rendered image of my scene (i.e replicate) and a screen shot of Max when it opens the file initially , its got some reference to a missing external files.........., I do not know if this has got anything to do with it. I would appreciate your inputs on this , please help...
