Hi Forum, Currently am working on an animation project. The project consists of a moving car and a camera following it. its just an 8sec shot. the issue am facing is when i pre-calculate the irrradiance map, the camera movement is not seen in the renders. the camera stays where it is in the 0-frame and only the car moves thus the final image renders with lots of artifacts and splotches. My render settings are a. For Precalculation of Irradiance Map * time confuguration -2 to 202 * Irradiance map - Medium animation (60,30), Use camera path, Animation Prepass. *Light Cache - 2000, Single Frame (Since Camera Movement is Very Small), Use camera Path. b. For Final Rendering *Time Configuration 0 to 200 *Irradiance Map - Medium animation (60,12),Use camera Path, Animaton Rendering. 3ds max 2016 & V-Ray 3.60.03 Can anyone please help me on this.? ** When i Render the scene with BruteForce Everything renders fine**

Hey Just working on this piece, and wondering how to improve it. Yes there are quite a lot of scratches at the top, maybe too much, but I'm playing with the idea of keeping it, but open for change. Thoughts welcome on how to make it look better. Best T

Will vray 6 still works if I install it in windows 7?

I made changes, recently, to an old 3ds Max file, which I had done final renderings on several years ago. I tried to render the design again but the output had so many black spots which I don't understand. Please help me out if you can. Thanks

Hi Everyone, I wanted to introduce myself. I'm Paride, architect and professional archviz artists based in the UK. Working in the UK for more than 5 years in the visualisation industry, I decided to create a platform where clients and artists can meet and collaborate. This place is now live at cgiFinder and it's welcoming 3D talents from all over the world. It's a safe place to collaborate following a pre-established set of revisions, so forget about working forever on a project, and be safe with our escrow payments. If you want to know more about this journey, you have any feedback and just want to say "hi", check our website or get in touch. https://cgifinder.com info@cgifinder.com

Hi everyone, wanted to share one of my work in progress would be happy to know what you all think... thank you for your time☺️.

I need to load a *.vccglb file to vray frame buffer., i run the following code vfbControl #loadccpreset "E:\Handies\Mak\Mak custum\MAX\BFV_SET\RAKE_713SP16_F1.vccglb" but it says failed to load the same . Error message goes like: [vfbControl] command #loadccpreset: Failed loading file E:\Handies\Mak\Mak custum\MAX\BFV_SET\RAKE_713SP16_F1.vccglb OK what is the issue here., can anybody help me? im using 3dmax/vray 3.6

Hello everyone, here on the site are not long ago. In the sphere of 3ds max are much, in all cmpanii that I activated render was not the final product. Now at the moment I am unemployed and trying to find some clients on the topic of indoor and outdoor 3D visualization. During the time I was employed and now at the moment in my free time I make visualizations so that I do not process and move forward Harder. You can simply give me some advice in finding clients maybe I'm not doing something right and I'm not going in the right direction. Thank you in advance for the advice. I wish you as productive a day as possible. Have a nice day.

For architectural visualization work, which render engine do you prefer? Vray for C4D or C4D Advanced Render? Why? I have been doing all of my rendering with C4D's Advanced Render and have been looking into Vray and thinking about possibly switching over.

Episodes Explore NFT Boom with Focus on Benefits to Artists; Latest Episode Premieres Today with NYU Professor/Cryptology Expert, David Yermack LOS ANGELES – April 26, 2021 – Today, Chaos’ CG Garage podcast announces the launch of a series focused on NFTs (nonfungible tokens). With NFTs sweeping through the art world, turning digital artists into sudden millionaires, the opportunities can seem limitless. But NFTs also come with a bunch of questions, especially for artists unfamiliar with cryptocurrency. The series seeks to explain what they are, why they matter and how to get started, so artists can make more informed decisions about their careers. “CG Garage has always been about shedding a light on what matters to CG artists, whether that’s how they came up, interesting projects or just making sense of emerging opportunities,” said Christopher Nichols, CG Garage host and director of Chaos Labs. “The DeFi world is fascinating, but it also needs a guided introduction for most people. In these episodes, we’re talking to artists and experts in the know, who can easily illuminate the many facets of NFTs, from basic ideas like ‘what is Ethereum?’ to their carbon footprint. If you’re curious, this is where to start.” For the uninitiated, NFTs are digital tokens that can be used to track the ownership of a digital asset. Because they live on a blockchain (or decentralized ledger), these digital tokens can be easily validated as totally unique, giving the owner access to an evolving investment or bragging rights. While online superstars like Grimes and Beeple have already sold NFTs for millions, they also offer a new way for CG artists to sell and profit off their art, moving them from social media likes to recurring royalties without any help from the traditional gallery system. Two episodes are available now, including today’s discussion with the head of NYU’s finance department, David Yermack. Several more will be released in the coming weeks. The current series will include: ● Sally Slade, Magnopus’ lead AR/VR developer, explains what she had to do to get her digital drawing onto the NFT market, using a $100 budget as a constraint. ● David Yermack, NYU Stern cryptocurrency professor, breaks down the key concepts behind NFTs in the most accessible way possible, getting into issues of ownership, the value of digital copies and the role digital artists can play in the NFT market. ● Alex Coulombe & Samuel Arsenault-Brassard will join the podcast on May 10 to talk about how they created an art exhibit using virtual architecture and NFTs. ● David Levy, Avatar 2 concept artist, will stop by on May 24 to explain how the changing profit model and new financial opportunities are impacting the artist community. The series is designed to be listened to in order to build up the listener’s knowledge base, moving from initial ideas to a more versed, actionable understanding as things progress.

I am working up some hobby Revit designs in 3ds Max using the vray library of materials and furniture to produce the renders. Revit has been great to model, but you cant get the same detail as 3ds max polygon modeling with chamfers. I have two starter projects here, which have some basic photoshop post production. trying to use HDRi for the site and avoid building landscape. Open to any thoughts, comments on how these could 'pop' - feel free to crit the architecture design as well My initial thoughts are that the texture maps need dirt/scratches etc

Hi Everyone, I hope this post finds you well. This is the latest property development I was fortunate enough to have been a part of, and wanted to share the final results. The main brief was to help sell the development off the 2d DWG plans/drawings before construction, by creating a series of 3d marketing images that captured the building's true essence and design ( interior and exterior). My work involved picking the materials, furniture, design and 3d render the space in a way it would be appealing to potential buyers. I have used 3ds Max and V-Ray to create the initial still images. Later, I have developed an interactive App in Unreal Engine, for potential buyers to customise the interior of their apartments. For more information, please google: jamie cardoso Kind Regards Jamie

I´ve been looking for a Graphics Card for VRay GPU rendering, lately. During my research I stumbled across an interesting Benchmark result on the Chaos website: There are 3080 ti`s with 12287 MB of VRAM and others with 12288 MB, with a performance difference of nearly 10 percent and it has been proven by more than 200 GPUs...!!! Does anyone know how to tell the one´s from the others / how to find out how much VRAM exactly a Graphics Card has?

Guys!!! ,... Do You Think It will solve My Problem??? And I am buying this from my emergency savings so pls Help Me..... I dont want to waste my money..... Pls Suggest me what is Problem???? Thanx In ADVance

Hi. I am currently completing arch viz projects on the side for a couple clients and am looking at expanding into higher end production as a second option for specific clients. My current workflow is to model the building in Revit using the .dwg files I am sent from the client and once complete I move into Lumion for the rendering, before I finalize with post production in Photoshop. Both Revit and 3DS Max have VRay, however 3DS max has the additional plug-ins that could advance the imagery beyond what is capable in Revit. As I have been looking at expanding into VRay, I was wondering what experiences others had who have a drafting background and what their workflow is like? Is it worth continuing with Revit (a program I am very familiar with) and testing the VRay plug in? Should I consider taking the time to learn 3DS Max? Alternatively is the Revit to 3DS Max to VRay workflow worth considering? Thanks

Hi folks I am looking for a best solution to add huge traffic(May be 8000 vehicles) in a big masterplan. My primary software is 3ds max 2020(Vray Next), what plugin or any other thing I can use to animate this huge traffic ? and If I want to animated trees in the scene as well. I need to prepare a flythrough camera of 20 second to show the whole masterplan having canal running through and lots of roads across. Please suggest best solution for these 2 things (Animated trees and vehicles) Best regards

Hi all, I've been contacted by a previous employer to do some renders for a project I was working on before I left over a year ago. The project consists of multiple pieces of furniture saved as their own solidworks part files, placed into an interior scene (assembly file). I originally imported the whole assembly into keyshot and made do with my computer chugging along struggling to cope with the tens of furniture items in the scene. I also didn't enjoy using keyshot for interior rendering which resulted in blotchy walls and uneven lighting. I would like to tackle the project this time using 3DS Max and V ray, possibly using V ray proxies to make life a little easier on my computer. Another issue is the models all have textures straight out of solidworks which aren't realistic, so i would like to re-texture each item with vray materials, and finally if i can do all of this, whilst keeping the layout of the furniture consistent to what is found in the original solidworks assembly that would be great. Having not used 3DS Max since I was in college many moons ago, I'm a little anxious but i would hugely appreciate any advice anyone can offer me on how to tackle this task. Literally any workflow tips would be fantastic. Thanks in advance David

First time using Photoshop for post Modelled on SketchUp and rendered in vray. Trying to create house in woods effects. Very open to feedback

Hi Everyone,? This Interior Design 3d render is one of the twelve I have recently created for a client, using 3ds Max, V-Ray 5 and Photoshop. The main brief for this specific shot was to frame it in such a way that the main focus would be in capturing the physical properties of key materials such as the leather, the wood finish and the reflective graphic wall reacting to the custom artificial light fixtures. The next phase of this project is to create more of these spaces in Unreal Engine with an App I'm currently developing, to host interior designs in my AWS server (using pixel streaming), to ultimately provide the client with the full flexibility to navigate the scene, view it from any angle, and instantly take as many high resolution renders as desired, at their own time and leisure, while using devices such a mobile phone, an iPad or a low spec computer from 1994 . If/when allowed, I'll be able to create a quick tutorial depicting the process of creating this specific 3d shot. I really hope you like the above interior design render. P.S: Take care and Stay Safe Ta Jamie https://jamiecardoso-mentalray.blogspot.com/2020/12/interior-design.html

Users can now combine and grade render passes, set blending modes and adjust colors without using a separate application. Scene Intelligence To remove unnecessary set-up time from the creative equation, V-Ray 5 for Cinema 4D comes with automatic scene analysis tools that will help artists produce faster, cleaner renders with no extra effort. Cleaner, more accurate environment lighting can now be produced up to 7x faster with the Adaptive Dome Light (ADL). Point-and-shoot-style timesavers like Automatic Exposure and Automatic White Balance are now part of the V-Ray Physical Camera, so achieving the perfect render will be as easy as taking a snapshot. AI denoising has also been added to offer noise-free updates at interactive speeds, providing instant insights into lighting adjustments. Faster GPU Rendering The same V-Ray GPU architecture that made it two times faster in V-Ray Next is now delivered to C4D users. Artists can now take full advantage of their hardware, rendering on GPUs, CPUs or a combination of both. With full support for NVIDIA RTX cards, V-Ray 5 for Cinema 4D is primed for rapid boosts, helping artists hit the highest heights of production rendering. Other New Features in V-Ray 5 for Cinema 4D Include: Fast Interactive Rendering – Artists can now view changes in the moment, helping them create the look they want, without the wait. Distributed Rendering – Harness the power of multiple machines working together to render images even faster. Chaos Cloud – Render stills and animations at the push of a button with Chaos Group’s cloud rendering service. Volume Rendering – Easily render realistic fog, smoke and atmospheric effects or bring in volume grid caches from Houdini, FumeFX and Phoenix FD. Coat Layer – The updated V-Ray Material can now generate reflective coatings on surfaces without the use of blend materials. Sheen Layer – Easily simulate soft, microfiber fabrics like velvet, satin and silk inside the updated V-Ray Material. Metalness – Metalness reflections are now supported directly by the V-Ray Material, making it fully compatible with PBR workflows. Car Paint 2 Material – A new car paint material can take automotive renders to the next level with realistic flakes and less memory. Improved V-Ray Dirt – Add dirt to cracks and crevices, create procedural streaks or cover an entire surface for a more weathered look. Physical Hair Material – Achieve more realistic results with the new physically accurate V-Ray Hair Material. New Sun and Sky Model – Capture the light of magic hour. The improved Sun and Sky model is more accurate and looks better at sunrise and sunset, even as the sun dips below the horizon. Texture Randomization – Аdd variety to scenes by randomizing colors and textures with V-Ray Multi Sub Texture. VRscans Material Library Support – Access a library of over 1,000 photorealistic materials that can be dropped into any V-Ray scene file.
