But the beauty of your renders is 80% because of the texturing you've done. When seen closely, both in mental ray and scanline, the lighting solution suffers in the photographic accuracy... Well, your renders are excellent as per the animation purpose. But photorealism is not achieved in both MR and Scanline.. :( ... I am never satisfied by the MR, VRAY and scanline, coz I hunt for photorealism.. Maxwell can do it in some 5 hours.. and those results are very hardly achieved in biased renderers... :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318916397216386597.post-7915563002155509982009-02-23T23:04:00.000-05:002009-02-23T23:04:00.000-05:00Oh yeah I think your are right I migth have mistak...Oh yeah I think your are right I migth have mistake the 3dsmax software price... anyway 900$ is to hight for me now...Samaël St-Laurenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14348390755727391992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318916397216386597.post-5136022657621757072009-02-23T19:59:00.000-05:002009-02-23T19:59:00.000-05:00$4,000?

I can buy a license right now for $899 in US dollars from www.vray.com<BR/><BR/>As for the course I took, it was offered through vismasters.com, taught by a guy named Brian Smith. I've been waiting to see if they'll offer similar courses in the future, but it looks like they're not. However, vismasters.com is a good site to look at if you do any kind of architectural visualization, or if you enjoy seeing what other people working in the arch/vis sector are doing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318916397216386597.post-24441198351117974582009-02-23T16:56:00.000-05:002009-02-23T16:56:00.000-05:00thanks Shawn I really appreciate your contribution...thanks Shawn I really appreciate your contribution to this forum!

The course instructor swears by V-Ray because, according to him, it's so much faster than mental ray. From watching him work with it, V-Ray looks like its a bit more user-friendly and less technical than mental ray. Also, for larger projects or environments, the V-Ray proxy objects perform quite well. I watched the instructor render a scene with several trees and reflective windows within a few minutes. That's something that took much longer with mental ray... I've thought about picking up V-Ray myself, but the budget and frequency of 3D projects just aren't enough yet to justify its purchase.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318916397216386597.post-82199143988582637292009-02-23T10:56:00.000-05:002009-02-23T10:56:00.000-05:00you got a point I didn't tought about renderman ei...you got a point I didn't tought about renderman either and it does fantastic result...

From what I've been told and from my experience, it is more sophisticated and yields better results than Maya's software and hardware renderers. To be honest, I've never heard of V-ray before. Probably because it is a 3D Studio addon. <BR/>What about Renderman? That has a really good reputation and you can see the results every time you watch a Pixar movie.Doug Springerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05103204277107214319noreply@blogger.com
