Vray Tests,

Jonathan 480 posts18 Apr 2007Hey,
Trying to learn exterior lighting, and so doing a bunch of tests in Vray.
I'm having a problem with the leaves and the alphas, and they're making this weird white outline which is annoying.
So anyway, here's a test render, please don't mind the cheesy looking lantern I just made it quick last night in a few minutes and just used procedural textures.

19 Apr 2007hey Spoudazo,
good to see you cranking out all this work!
that alpha problem on the leavescan be easily fixed by choking in your alpha, or maybe increasing the scale of the diffuse bitmap a tiny bit, or, maybe instead of the background color on your leaf bitmaps being white, make it a shade of green that matches.
the first and third renders look pretty cool, especially that texture on the third. The second you say is a depth of feild test, but there's barely any, its so slight, and I'm only seeing it close to the camera, not far. It looks like you're really experimenting with colored lights or something too. neat!
are you using GI in these? it looks like there's some on them.
keep up the good work! -
Jonathan 480 posts19 Apr 2007Yep, GI (Indirection Illumination GI) was on, and the main options I had were,
GI Caustics: Reflective, Refractive
Primary Bounces: 1 (default I think)
Secondary Bounce: 1 (default again I think)
Primary GI Engine is Irradiance Map
Secondary GI engine is Quasi-Monte Carlo (does GI with less noise faster, but also has it's shortcomings I guess).
For the QMC settings, Subdivision is set to 8, and Secondary Bounces are set to 3, however, if I remember correctly QMC doesn't do much after one bounce, so therefore, I guess Irradiance should be set higher if that's the desired effect.
As for the DOF test, not sure what happened. I used the DOF settings in Max for the camera, and maybe it's a Max/Vray issue.
I did another DOF test, and it sorta didn't render quite right.
Maybe it was the camera settings (was trying some special Camera settings in the Vray settings),

Jonathan 480 posts19 Apr 2007One more REALLY quick test before I go to bed, Pardon the cheesy textures, I just wanted to see how the various settings do in different situations.
