      Hi all
      my previous book "KT fast start 4 architects" downloaded for nearly 17000 times. so decided to prepare another one, this time on V-Ray for SketchUp.
      Just finished the fully illustrated and simplified yet technical 65 pages book with inspiring renders on V-ray For SketchUp.
      any idea about the reasonable price and were to sell it?
      here are some renders:

            I couldnt help you on a price but what you have shown looks very impressive

              would this be something you could publish as an online book through Sketchucation? I think the last hard-copy instructional book I purchased was probably 15 years ago.

                            And what do you mean? Thea for SketchUp or Thea Studio?
                            I also love Thea πŸ˜„.

                                  I wish your nothing but success in getting a return for your hard efforts.c

                                  BUT! I'm totally disillusioned with Vray for SketchUp or any other Vray product Chaosgroup makes for other 3d programs. I don't want to read a book on how to render using Vray. SketchUp is simple to use, Vray for SketchUp is not.

                                  Finally the renderings Vray produces are all POOR and have no basis for what real world lighting is all about. All you have to do is take a picture with your Iphone outdoors. depending on the sky conditions. A clear cloudless sky will provide sharp shadows while a sky with intermittent clouds will create soft shadows. An HDR rendering program like KeyShot will take all this into account.

                                  Here is a link to the subject aboutcaustics and reflections: Vray does not take into account the index of refraction of materials.

                                    Are you not aware vfs now can use HDR for lighting with the new domelight? Soft shadows and all the rest. Try it, you might like it. β˜€

                                    Um, not sure your point - looks like the image show in that thread has no direct light on the water - how would you have caustics without a point light source? Vray does have dispersion, not sure if it's in vfs, but it's definitely in the other versions of vray. There's also progressive rendering and some other things coming down the pipeline that we may see (stuff that's in vray 3.0 now, but not available for vfs.), so keep an eye on it, there will be some really cool things coming this way with vfs.

                                      Well, of course it isn't. It can't be. Trust me, I know learning Vray can be frustrating, but in the end, it's all worth it.

                                        I have done all my effort it keep it technically correct while yet simple. images are in large size to be easy to follow and renders are not "out of reach" and not too simple and poor.
                                        Hope you find it useful
