Help needed for exterior stage renders!
-
Hi All
I am having a hard time acheiving any sort of result for exterior stage-type renders in V-ray and I'm getting quite frustrated
I would like to create something like the attached image, but I cannot get ANY type of light to show up no matter what I do.
Any advice will be appreciated!
This is what I want, but a bit more realistic (ie rendered in Vray)

Those kind of lighting effects are really achieved with environment fog, which VR4SU doesn't currently support. The way I would do this is -
1 - Use Spotlights in your fixtures to generate the casted lighting you need
2 - In Photoshop, add the lighting fog effects with specialty brushes from the web. Experiment to get it just right. Very easy and flexible.

http://redheadstock.deviantart.com/art/Light-Beams-Rays-Brushes-72493128Thanks for the tips! I dont have Photoshop at the moment, I use Corel Draw.
Is there another rendering plug-in that you could recommend to get this effect?Also, I cant seem to get spotlights to work, any tips??
EDIT:
I can only get the spot lights to shine straight down, can they not be put at an angle? -
No other rendering engine exists.
Corel? Hmmmm. I really have to recommend Photoshop highly. Creative Cloud makes it pretty affordable now. You can pay for a month and see if it works for you. If not, I assume the same techniques can be applied to Corel Draw.
As far as the spotlights not working, what version of V-Ray are you using? I am using the latest VR4SU2 RC and it seems to be working on my end. The nicest feature is that you can adjust them in RT, so this makes your lighting setup really fast. This is great for the kind of work you are doing.

That looks awesome!
Thanks for your help, I'm relatively new to V-Ray for SU, so this will help with my experimenting
I googled how to make lights in Corel and found a pretty decent tutorial, so all smiles for the near future!
