Hi guys ,

Do you have any idea what`s wrong ?

 

File is here ( megaupload ).

Your HDR map is not setup properly. How did you load it in?

[Ismael]

Just load the HDR image with the VrayHDRI loader.

 

Water is just reflective with Smoke VrayDisplacement:

I load hdr from material map browser of max.

Max is not my primary 3d modeling / rendering software.

 

Can you please make print screen of "VrayHDRI loader" with options you used ?

Wich version of max you used ?

Click from the 'texture' to use in the displacement map or the environment or get material; then move the VrayHDRI to the Material Editor so you can "Browse" for the HDR map.

I placed VrayHDRI before , but I increased multyplier of the skydome not of the HDRI ( when HDRI is loaded skydome multyplier did`t work anymore ) ... however , there are my results :

Zdepth files became grainy when HDRI was used , do you got idea how can I improve their quality ?

 

Well I can uncheck "use texture" and render camera views with diffuse material ... but is there any other way ?

 

Once again thanks for your support !

[Ismael]

I have never worked with zdepth before but from what you say, maybe a good GI may clear it up?

Well thanks so much Ismael ,

you helped me enough already

 

Thanks once again !
