Thank you so much, been practicing and your videos are tremendously helpful!

That was better than the course I paid for which didn't explain anything but was "just click here, then here, enter 300, press c"

This is brilliant! Just what I needed as I've recently got the vray license in work, I'm used to working on the older Vrays, I've got someone consistently asking me for very soft shadows and telling me to just 'put ambient occlusion on' I don't think there's any settings for this the closest I've found is to set the suns size multiplier to 100, any advice is appreciated this channel has basically made my career what it is today so thank you!

hi, is working Vray for 2019 sketch Up in sketch up 2021 please?

[cassieainsworth]

Hi! Love your tutorials! I have a question. What if my shadows show in model but in render are only from vray settings? How to link shadows from model to my render?

Good afternoon Let me know if anyone has come across. Installed 5 virey. On the render, the picture is normal, when saved, it is overexposed.😔

Hi, thanks for all your videos. I am having an annoying problem: I added a texture to a curved surface by importing and projecting and it renders well, however as soon as I add an emissive layer the texture disappears and the object becomes white. when I tried to add the bitmap to the emissive layer it renders in gazillion tiles to the point that the texture is no longer recognizable. Any ideas?

[Rose.ToTheWorld]

How how??when you enable vray and am here to know how why

[waleedmahe]

Which version of vray is better in terms of image quality and resolution?

[straticah]

Hey, i know u are using Blender aswell but it seems Vray does only work with 2.7 Blender. Do u think cycles can achieve simmilar results as vray in archviz? For me vray always had the best look compared to Lumion, Cycles or Octane render.
