BrianKitts Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I was curious to see what's out there so I did a little searching. I've seen one vray book that was in korean... I couldn't read a thing but there was plenty of screen shots with useful info. I can't find the korean book online, plus it was a little dated version wise..... however I did find a different one..... hows your spanish? http://educational.am4.it/page/libri/SchedeLibri/03Vray.asp (google translation) http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Feducational.am4.it%2Fpage%2Flibri%2FSchedeLibri%2F03Vray.asp&langpair=es%7Cen&hl=en&safe=off&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=%2Flanguage_tools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pentool Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I know it's an old thread, but just in case... VRay 1.5 - The Complete Guide Well, I hate to say that I am not able to post a link cuz I have less then 10 posts. Lucky YOU! In that case, copy the phrase that pays (above) and google it. Or how's this for a solution? http COLON SLASH SLASH francescolegrenzi DOT com SLASH blog SLASH static DOT php ? page=vray_guide_eng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianKitts Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 (edited) No kidding... sounds like they finally got it translated. That book came months ago in Italian (i think) and we've been waiting on the english translation to get completed. So if it says it's going out in October.....hmm I guess they still have a week!

jophus14 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 The book seems really nice, but it'll cost $160US. That's crazy talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Smith Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 (edited) The book seems really nice, but it'll cost $160US. That's crazy talk. Depends on your definition of crazy. Consider this. The average author makes an 8% commission on the wholesale price of a book. For my Max 8 book, I made a whopping $2.40 per book, which after selling a few thousand copies, means that for about 2000 hours work I made about 1/3 of minimum wage....which is why I now self publish. Even cutting out retail, distribution, sales, marketing, doing my own editing and paying minimum amounts for copy edit, tech. reviews, proofreading, etc, I am still very far from paying off our current book projects, despite their selling very well. Combine that with a very short window of opportunity to sell (ie 12 months), it doesn't leave much room for profit. Of course, not doing it for the money. I would be extremely shocked if this individual recovers the cost of his printing, regardless of what price he sold it at. That book cost him what I paid for my last house...and printing fewer isnt a solution as the cost goes up exponentially as the print run goes down. $160 for a book that will benefit you tremendously, be a big financial risk to him and make him little or nothing...too me that's crazy. Then again, arent we all a little. Edited October 24, 2008 by Brian Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selos69 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Have you guys read the sample pages of the English version? I think it is safe to say it has been LOOSELY translated to English However, I still think it may well be worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael J. Brown Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I've been trying to determine (from the treddi.com website) whether this book is specific to the stand alone version of Vray or the 3dsMax iteration, and I'm still drawing a blank. Does anybody know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody know? Oops... Never mind... I just took a closer look at one of the sample pages and noticed parts of the 3dsMax dialog interface. So I guess the book is 3dsMax specific after all.

jophus14 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Did anyone on here pick up the english version of this book? What do you think of it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markf Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I just got the notice that is was available for purchase yesterday. I ordered one copy and I'm not sure how long it will take to arrive from Italy to the USA. It's expensive but looks to be pretty comprehensive. If I learn anything at all from it, and I'm pretty sure I'll learn allot, I'll feel it's worth the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
