Hey if any of you DL this and watch it... I would love your feedback... and if I did more would you buy them as well.

 

 

Yes

 

You produce great tutorials.

 

I'm very glad that this max vray tutorial includes the textures.

 

Will order it tonight.

 

I'd rather get a series of small, bite-size tutorials at a very affordable price, rather than an end-to-end set.

I guess I would like to see a simple compositing tutorial using photoshop. I know photoshop isn't a compositing app but it is something that we are all familiar with and seems like its a good place to explain concepts. Besides we all have it.

I just purchased the tutorial and it's taking forever to download. It tells me that it's Getting File Information from Gnomology.com but it gives no estimated time of download and it's taking way too long. Anyone else have this problem?

Christopher, when you talked about rates in your video, you said that 0 is 1 sample per pixel, and 1 is 4 samples, so 2 would be 16, right? But when you go into details about adaptive subdivision, you say that 2 will be 8 ;) ? Maybe I just didn't get it right?

Just finished going through this one last week. As always, well done. However, I was hoping you may go through some of the filter options as well, as you mention them in your intro.

 

Maybe it would have been good to cut out some of the time spent on the ram consumption issue and gone into the filters a bit. Just some constructive criticism. Great job Mr. Nichols, your tutorials have been a great help overall. Can't wait for more in the series.

Thanks Mr Nichols. Im buying your video now. Cant wait. I bought your other 2 dvds of which Im on my 3rd viewing.

 

Ive been sitting up in bed at night on the laptop and earphones (as not to disturb the sleeping boss...the dog..not my wife) comfy on a king!

 

To anyone who hasnt seen or bought these, they are ESSENTIAL VIEWING if you want to learn vray. Forget the case of beer for the month, spend it on these!

 

thanks, AG

Are you using vray frame buffer? If yes, there's a switch of gamma correction. Look the "interiors" DVD, it was discussed there in details.

Thanks for the help. Sorry for the annoying posts. I'm reading the threads on LWS and its a tough shlog but its coming slowly.

 

I can see by the expert posts that using this method produces much better quality at a greater speed. Why wouldn't anyone learn it?? I'm cramin' :rolleyes:

 

Maybe if I wasn't impatient and watched the entire tutorial before asking Id have better luck.

Actually everybody should use gamma correction always, the only question why it's not by default.

Chris I bought your tutorial and it was really good, but you should ask the guys there to fix the download method.

It took me a long time and a lot of tries to get it to download.

Thanks for your input on this... I have no control over the webpage, and the download as it is being run by Gnomon. I would ask you, actually encourage you, to contact them and explain to them any difficulties that you are having.

Sorry to bump this but I just watched the Gnomonology Vray sampling tutorail again and was wondering if anyone can tell me do you necessarily have to work in LWF to take full advantage of the 'universal settings' (1,16 - 0.01 global subdiv - 'dont affect colours - adaptation only') approach?
