SandmanNinja Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jophus14 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 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?

Mister3d Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alias_marks Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 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. DownTown MikeBrown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnold Grove Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnold Grove Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 anyone...??? does it have to do with the rgb color sapce? Getting very dark renders... : Im using Max 9 w/ VRay 1.5...why are renders are very dark, but still dont look right when i click the show srgb still look washed and dim...Im sure its a simple setting...I know you covered this on the other dvd...sorry, thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister3d Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 anyone...??? does it have to do with the rgb color sapce? Getting very dark renders... 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnold Grove Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 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' Maybe if I wasn't impatient and watched the entire tutorial before asking Id have better luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually everybody should use gamma correction always, the only question why it's not by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tedesco Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I already coved that in one of my chapters on my Interior GI DVD. 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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic H Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 great tutorial chirs! very clear and informative if a little dry! but i suppose 1hr of image sampling tutorial is always gonna be dry really. Now how about a LWF tutorial then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic H Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 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?
