[flipside]

thanks so much man this helps a lot, i had always faced issues with filling the sketchup model for exterior renderings, seems a small thing but it creates a lot of difference in exterior views

[HarshKurmi]

I like the Final Step it made a Lot Difference

[Ranjithkvp]

Thanks for your valuable time..I understand now how to setup for exterior rendering.👍

This has inspired me to start 3D rendering! thanks :-)

[homeplansindia]

This is very well done. Thanks a lot for teaching the basics and doing good work. Really thankfull

[roddarisolanoparedes]

Thank you so much for this helpful video

[adityakalbhor]

Thank you so much! Now, I just need a good system to render us faster 😁

[dlisspo]

Thanks a lot for this. Really helpful.

Thank you so much sir i have my jury tomorrow I will render now

Prima video! Yes, helpful and useful advices to get started with - even if you use another renderer than Vray ;-)

Very educative and helpful posts Oliver. I noticed you use a MacBook and you have the VRay extension on it. Please how did you get that? I’ve been searching for it for quite some time. I had to partition my MacBook and work with the windows OS.

I think it would be great if you showed how to load a gray scaled copy of a material into the texture slot when going through the Bumpmap/Displacement map phase (13:58).

It was big mistake that didn't use eye camera for setting scene and not using realistic materials and very important is using using dome light is very important. I've try very hard how could see on my render the reflection of material or objects on the scene thanks for the help on your video

[maddoctor]

These videos are really well explained and presented and I definitely picked up a few tips - thanks! However all of the final renders we see in the video (and especially on your website) are far from photorealistic so I’m very hesitant to pull the trigger, particularly as I can’t find a list of the individual class topics or examples of the quality of render your students are eventually able to produce. Even the “presentation images” render looks very artificial and ALL of the images in the “Vray on a deadline” look like scenes from those hidden object games: quite cartoony and flat. I’d hoped to find videos of genuinely realistic renders, particularly as you briefly touch on render elements and a few other advanced topics that hint that you know the process fairly well.

HI I CAME FROM THE FUTURE i would like to thank my past self from watching this video

[MH-fslf]

Hii guys, is there any program that is similar to laubwerk or any other program that can provide tree models in sketchup and vray? Thankss
