Internal Rendering

toynlet · 28 Jul 2010, 16:15

Hi Guys

I'm new to using vray, I'm currently using 1.48.89 and would like to try to master internal rendering. I'm having trouble with the fact that as soon as a roof goes on top of any structure, the render is of a dark gloomy room.

Can anyone help with some tips, advice, or know any tutorials online to help with the lighting.

I've created a very crude model, not for any purpose other than to play around and try to get internal lighting right.

The crude spotlights are V-Ray rectangle lights inserted.

They don't seem to give out much light given the scalar setting is at 500. Anyone advise on how they can produce more light?

Is it advisable to put large V-Ray rectangle outside the windows and add light to the inside?

Or is it a case of playing with the settings? If so, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys.
Love the work on here, I would love to create something of the same standard some day!!

Hello Stephen,

well, if in this scene you using a physical camera ON, the value 500 for light setting is still not enough, you can try to increase it on 4 digit value, to get some ambiance.

for the rectangular outside the window, this technique is possible, when you don't want to using physical sky intervention, just make a rectangular light as wide as window opening, set it back a bit from window and don't forget to tick invincible option if you want to get just the light coming through the window.

its always fun to playing with vray, to get its great result, even sometimes its a bit longer to render than other render plugins..

goodluck,

Thanks for replying to Stephen Vidy,

I just upgraded to the latest VRay version and was getting very frustrated with the renders coming out way too bright. The physical camera was not on. Thanks. Love this site!

Cheers,
Jeff

Remember that you also need to adjust the camera exposure, as you would in the real world.
If you only adjust the intensity of the light sources you often end up with burned out areas.

I find that the VfSU default is set up for exterior, so when I do interior shots I need to adjust the exposure.
