vrindakedia Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Hello! I'm new to v-ray lighting. Can anyone please tell me whats the best way to go about it? i want to know the best setting for v-ray lighting using final gather. I've gone through many tutorials but i'm still having trouble with the lighting. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notamondayfan Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Firstly, there is no "best setting" for vray, each scene is different! Also, there is no Final Gather in vray, that's Mental Ray. What have you studied so far? Read any books on lighting and the theory behind it? Analysed real world photography? Vray is only a tool, lighting is a skill.

vrindakedia Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 I'm sorry i meant GI. Typing error. I know quite a bit about photography as i have done a course in it. I am just kind of confused with the adjustments and values in the vray render setting. As to what values will help reduce the speckle problem and stuff like that.

kippu Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 keep on experimenting , every scene differs... once you work on five or six scenes , you will slowly but surely get the hang of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrindakedia Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 okay! Also i would like to know how to get rid of the speckles that come on the walls. I have attached the image below. I have used adaptive DMC as my image sampler with mitchell as my filter. Also i have used all the environment options. I have used exponential color mapping and irradiance mao and Light cache.

kippu Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 speckles as you call them is noise , increase your settings or the subdivs of your light, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisemanxxx Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 some tricks about general light & camera setup in vray ; use realistic lighting values. For this you can use lumen values as real world. For example 100 w bulb = 1500-2000 lumens in vray light. use ies lights with their own power values. after all use vray camera and never touch your lights' intesity values. change camera settings like shutter speed or iso as real world one last trick is that use color mapping reinhard (burn value %25-%50) against clamped white areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
