Hi,

 

That's called "colour bleed" and it's what happens when you mix a strong colour in a room on a large surface (i.e. floor, wall, etc).

 

I'm a Mental Ray kinda guy, but I think the basic tips should apply to v-ray.

* Tone down the reflection of the colour/material - that helps a lot

* render in separate passes and combine in post

* render the wall white and then add the colour completely in post with some sort of layering-marquee-paint bucket-multiply effect on the layer

Turn down your secondary bounces to like, 0.3 - 0.5. That will take away alot of the color bleed.

in cinema you'd turn the saturation button down, or even use the material override option.

Thank you very much. Thanks for the help. Let me try this . i will revert back to you shortly.

You could try vray overide material. have a more subtle version of the texture in the GI slot.

In vray, the "saturation" spinner fixes this problem.

I had success by reducing the GI output to something like 0.5 in the object's Vray Properties.

I prefer the Vray Override material that Q-bix mentioned. I find that it has greater color control and you don't have to jack with your GI properties if you don't want to or if you are happy with your lighting and don't want to touch the settings.

 

The only thing to avoid is making the GI color vastly different from your object. Such as if you had a red rug, yet the room is getting a green color bounce.

You can try by right click on the floor object, go to Vray properties, them decrease the Generate GI value (from 1 to something like 0.5). You will see the different.
