Trevor Tizard Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Personally I would not use RPC's with Vray. I do a separate pass with the scan line renderer and comp them in with photoshop. This allows me to adjust the lighting of the RPC to match the image better, and add better shadows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Tizard Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Vray is a GI renderer and RPC's are simply a collection of images applied at rendering time, so nothing for Vray to calculate against. Even with scanline or MentalRay the results never match the rest of the scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmd33 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 rpc & vray have worked for me for years in viz4. i am having the same shadow problem as 'aligrafix' in max9 vr1.5. no shadows. again, does anyone have a solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmd33 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 ok, so its working now. not sure what was wrong before. whatever the case, the rpc has to be moved out of the 'exclude' colomn in the light's shadow exclude box. just turning on the rpc shadow doesnt shift it for you like it did previously.

I am suprised really indeed, from which version Vray support RPC? As I can remember RPC were useless for Vray? So your cars rendering fine? Only problems with people? Can you please post some work with RPC cars? How about trees, bushes...etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thablanch Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 You can also turn the self illum. off, so that light can do the job propreley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Johnston Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I've had the same problem with people and I've never found a good solution to the problem. I did talk to the Archvision rep and the DVC this year and he said they were working on a new type of RPC that would interact with GI but he couldn’t tell me when it would be ready.

archmer Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 select the rpc and switch on "Cast Shadow" (off by default) I use 3dsmax 10 + vraysp4 + rpc 1.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
