Can you post a picture of what you have done.
So I maybe able to give you some tips.

Ive attached an example of my work
This will show you how much I detail in the render and how much I include in PS.
Raw Render

Photoshoped

Better examples of this are Free Agents work.

I talk to the support and many users and almost 100-200 users are gone move either move to another render soft or waiting for the mess to be clean and organize. I have a few comments about news and development and there are promise but really we are last in terms of enhance the soft. Rhino, Maya and MAX are over sketchup. The lack of help and the policy of the company about free materials and video training kills almost 99% of users.

My2cents.

Im sure most people will return to the forums. As will the free materials and video tutorials. As far as I know, the old ASGVIS team are now called CHAOS GROUP USA. They will continue to develop Vray for Rhino and Vray for SU under the umbrella of CHAOS GROUP. We as Vray for SU users have been spoilt in resent times because all of the developments focus has been on us. Now they are matching the development of Vray for Rhino. Once they have done this, further development on both at the same time will be easier. (crude explanation)

So although the merger has disrupted our great ASGVIS forum community. It will be back and future development of Vray for SU should in theory quicken. Keep the faith, exciting times ahead.

I find the opinions so far interesting. Not criticizing, but most are focusing on the robbery - obviously the threat of violence is a very bad thing - but yet if true the man turned himself in. Over $100. Yet $3B barely registers. Nobody has said that the fraudster shouldn't get equal or greater time. Do we know what indirect damage the fraud caused? Loss of savings or health care for individuals? That could have easily resulted in actual death by forgoing medical care due to lack of insurance or ready cash to pay for such things. Our system doesn't take that into account.

That was my point. You just explained it better.

WOW 40 months for being part of $3b fraud(nice way of saying bloody stealing)

I wonder how many broken families, suicides that's caused.

Justice is tilted in your favor with an expensive lawyer.
Freedom is bought with money$$$$$$$$$$

Cheer up people.

I agree this merger is taking a very long time. But from what I hear
the ASGVIS guys have nothing to do with the web site. They are hard at work
with Vray4Rhino. Then it will be back to work on Vray4SU.

Keep the faith people.

Vray is far to good a programme to abandon

Mean while lets just use this forum to help each other

Flippin BRILLIANT

Hi
Have you read the manual? Its really well explained there.
To get the manual go to http://www.chaosgroup.com/en/2/index.html download section.

http://www.chaosgroup.com/en/2/index.html
Go to the download section, then go to vismats.
There are lots of great materials there, with bump and displacement maps.

If you dont know what these are. Its time to read the Vray manual. It should also
be in the download section. Good luck.

Great renders....where did you get the model of the sofa from?

Brilliant model.

Look forward to seeing your renders with Vue in your arsenal.

Hi
All the video's are on youtube.....just search ASGVIS and you will find them.
The materials should be avalible at the chaousgroup website soon. I hope.

Married to a whole lota lovin I see......

WOW something different. What a collection of images you must have now.
Do you sleep. Where do you get the time????????

Yup great renders shown in that youtube clip. Id say years of experience went into making those renders.
But they had to start somewhere. There are lots of good renderers. You need to figure out:

1. What you want to achieve
2. How much time you have to commit to it.
3. Is it profitable. (If thats what your aim is)

I was sold on a similar demo of Vray renederer. Ive now been thrashing that programme for 2 years. Still
feel I have so much more to learn. BUT Ive loved every minute of it.

Do lots of research before you commit to any programme. Which I see you are doing

Anyway to answer your question Im a Vray fan. For Arch viz its the holy grail I feel. Almost all competition winners in Arch Viz use 3ds Max and Vray. Thats why I headed in that direction.

Good luck

so so goood. Brilliant

vERY IMPRESSIVE

Love the design and beautiful render

Hi welcome to using Vray

Head over to the SU Vray forums where you will get lots of Vray dedicated help/tutorials.
Heres the link http://forum.asgvis.com/index.php?action=forum

As for you render....it looks good. Its too far away to comment on the materials or shadows.
Maybe zoom in on your model so we can have a closer look.

look forward to seeing more

WOW long long time ago. I remember this in the old Podium days. Still such a great image.
Out of interrest. Is this a hobby of yours or are you involved in earning money from your skillz?
