      Hi there guys,

      I'm relatively new to V-Ray and love the things you can do with it so quickly, ideal for deadlines and the like. I'm designing a kitchen extension for a beach house and have got the scene looking as I wanted apart from one minor aspect. There's no beach when you look out of the window!!!

      I've added a HDRI Sky image that I downloaded which is perfect apart from the fact you can see the trees in the over the beach-side wall. Anybody got any advice on how to get a realistic sea-horizon shot with a sky in as well? I've attached the image of the shot so you guys can see what i'm talking about.

      Hopefully you guys can help asap!

      Thanks in advance!

        You can export the alpha of the render and replace the HDRi with a beach image.

        The alpha is the black and white channel which you can use to tweak or replace what's behind transparent surfaces. In Frame Buffer window you have a white circle near RGB values, switch that on and save your file.

        Then in Photoshop or Gimp or whatever post production software you use, replace the black with your desired image of a beach.
