New to V-Ray. tutorials needed

[tacbob]

Hello.

 

I would be grateful if anybody knows of some good tutorials for architectural rendering with V-Ray in 3DS Max9. In particular using sunlight and I need glass and metal to reflect realistically. I have read that ray traced materials in 3DS Max are not good with V-Ray so what is the solution?

 

Thanks

as long as tutorials go, I'd say have a look here:

the first two are specifically vray (first one exteriors). you might as well find other good stuff there.

 

here's another one by Chris Nichols:

the best place for any kind of info/knowledge/tutorial out there it's the chaos forum though, and it's totally free. have a look there, ask questions.. you won't be disappointed.

as long as mats are concerned, I'd say the solution is vray's own materials.
