Could some one tell me what are the best settings in Vray for Quality and very fast renderings? Exterior scene.

What about the rest of settings:

 

Antialsising

Global Switches

GI 1st and 2nd bounces what type what parameters

Etc

 

For example whats the settings in the pool scene you made I cant make a realistic windows (glass) material for any scene and i tried the tutorials you sent me the other day. I think that its because of the settings, I now that the best way is to explore and make some tests but this scene Im trying is so slow that the tests take a lot of time, So any other settings post would be very helpful. Thanks Eduardo

You might take a look at

I found this and the tut on VRAY materials quite useful; sheds a lot of light on all those settings, and what they do.

 

Of course, there is

Hey Chris, just ordered your dvd looking forward to getting it, mind you the postage to Ireland seemed a bit steep.

(lalaland must be very far away)

I hear the international postage is pretty high. Sorry about that, that is Gnomon's deal.

hi There

 

Christopher

 

does your Tutorials require Vray Advanced?

or will The Tuts work for Vray Free and basic?

 

i had The demo download, it Timed out already

 

i am Thinking of upgrading from VIZ 4 To Max (still Thinking)

and some people are pushing Mental Ray and Others are saying

 

That Vray is even (easier) To learn, better

i almost always ONLY do Exterior site plans

 

Thanks for all of your continuing input and willingness To share

Chris has created some amazing stuff... We bought both his DVDs for our rendering Dept.

 

Vray free has only limited material options. It only allows you to use vray settings in the reflect and refract maps in your Max standard material.

 

I have it for my version of Max at home. I can apply some of what I learned from the DVDs to it, but you will not have access to an irradiance map, which saves your light prepass settings and no Vray HDRI map which is great for exterior lighting. I have successfully rendered a Brazil HDRI map with Vray though and would use that for more exterior work in the future.

 

I don't do that much work from home, but once the demand is there, I will purchase the full version of Vray As soon as possible.
