    • 2 House development (crits welcome)

      Hi all
      Been a very long time since I have posted anything. Its been a while since I rendered anything.

      This is a 2 unit development, which the client wants to sell off the plans. I spent far to long compared to the money it was paying. But all in the name of learning Vray.

      Would love any advice. All crits welcome
      the Job is due end of tomorrow (Southern Hem)

      Thanks
      jonathan

    • RE: Photoshop Question

      I have had all sorts or problems rendering this one model at any res over 800x600???!!!!!

      My work around was:
      -To render the house and tree in one render with alpha. Saved out as a vrimg then converted to exr then converted to png 32bpp
      -Then render garden and fence in another render with alpha. Saved out as a vrimg then converted to exr then converted to png 32bpp

      -Then bring the 2 images into PS
      -The garden and fence become the top (which has a transparent or alhpa backgound) layer which has a slight ghosting around its boarders (fence line and some plants which overlap the layer below).

      Hope this makes sense

      This is the top layer

    • Photoshop Question

      Not sure if this is the right area to be posting this

      Can anyone suggest an easy method of getting rid of ghosting around an image.

      I have rendered with Vray two images which I am joining in PS. The image on the top layer has a slight lighter outline around a tree and fence.
      Apart from selecting this outline with the magic wand and deleting it. Cause this would take ages.
      Does anyone have any links to tutorials or methods for me to look at.

      Thanks for any help.

    • RE: Another Bug Splat issue

      Not sure if I totally understand

      Does this happen when you press render or just when you navigate within SU

    • Veiwport size change

      Quick question

      By moving tool bars around in SU you altar the shape of the veiwport. Does this effect when you render. Because I have a problem model which keeps crashing when rendering it. So I have cut the model in two, rendered seperatly then join the two renders in PS. But they dont line up!!!!!!!!!!!! The only thing I can think of is that I may have moved a tool bar in SU.

    • RE: Memory Failure (URGENT HELP NEEDED) updated

      Ok solved the problem with the VrimgtoExr converter

    • RE: Memory Failure (URGENT HELP NEEDED) updated

      Cheers for your support Tom

      I really dont know whats up with the VrimgtoExr converter.
      It really has me beat.

      everything else sort of worked
      Im still getting memory failure when I try to render over 1600x800 with this particular model.
      Im doing tests on other models now.

      So do you think I just have to cut back on some of the material sizes and get rid of more of the hi poly components?

    • RE: Memory Failure (URGENT HELP NEEDED) updated

      Thanks ThomThom

      I found that section on High resolution rendering heres the link for anyone else.

      http://software.asgvis.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=55

      But I have a new question
      In that section, it says to Under the Irradiance map rollout enable the "New Map mode" and "Autosave" feature. Choose a filename and location that you will remember.

      I cant seem to understand or find New Map Mode

      http://i607.photobucket.com/albums/tt154/holmes1977_album/Irradiancemap.jpg

      Im also having problems installing the VrimgtoExr converter
      It downloads fine. After I press run a black box flashes on the screen for a mere second then disappears. Ive done a search for it with no luck???????

    • Memory Failure (URGENT HELP NEEDED) updated

      Hi
      Im having trouble rendering a large image (2048x1536)
      As soon as it getting to the rendering part, I get a memory failure.

      In Task manager it says Im only using 69% of my memory.

      I have 6gb DDR3 Coursair GT Dom Ram
      The SU file is about 40mb and renders fine at 800x600

      So this has got me confussed.
      Ive also posted the same topic at the ASGVIS site. I have noticed there are a few other posts on the matter, all with no replies.

      I have to have this job finished by 3rd Dec

      Thanks for any help
