This course introduces the features of the V-Ray 2.0 rendering engine and demonstrates how to extend the range of 3ds Max with its state-of-the-art tools, such as irradiance mapping, fur and hair textures and shaders, and stereoscopic 3D rendering. The course covers critical concepts such as creating basic materials, image sampling, color mapping, subdivs, and lighting, as well as the Render Elements, RT, and physical rendering workflows in V-Ray. Exercise files are included with the course.
Topics include:
Installing and setting up V-Ray
Using the DMC Sampler
Understanding color mapping modes
Adding a spherical fill light
Working with the V-Ray Dome Light
Using irradiance mapping and Light cache
Creating diffuse color
Making reflective materials
Creating translucency
Ensuring quality with image sampling
Controlling the V-Ray physical camera
Creating a motion blur effect
Compositing V-Ray elements
