V ray materials

[The Trickster]

Ok, this may seem a bit of a silly question but do most people use only Vray mats when rendering with Vray?

 

Im not having much fun with standard materials at the moment and often get the message 'Material returned over bright'

 

I know you cant use arch mats with Vray but is it also bad with standard?

[C.Vestal]

When we have a really fast one to get out, we use standard mats. That is the only time we use standard mats. with vray.

 

When looks count, use vray mats.

 

I could be wrong, but the vray materials seem to be faster here.

I always use Vray materials. There's no special reason for that, only that I find them easy to use, and I also think they're faster.

I know that some people use standard materials when they want to use a multilayer shader, although in Vray materials you can set diferent highlights and reflection glossiness.

i use vray mats exclusively, they are designed to be used by the render engine and as such are most effiecient.

 

i ignore any "over bright mat" warnings, if the render looks ok then its ok!

*i agree, but take care of the splooches. this may occur if you use more of standard materials that has high 'specular level' value from 'glossiness'.
