You have to use TexMix material in the Diffuse slot. Choose Color A slot to load the first texture and Color B slot to load the second texture. Blend them using Color Mix with the alpha texture loaded in Mix map slot. That's it.

THANKS. I TRIED IT.

will try that. thanks!

also, when i tried to copy to the second model, NOT copy in place, the arrow icon turn to paint bucket icon. I DIDn't select paint bucket icon, and why the paint bucket icon show up??!! did anyone encounter this problem?

The only way to use GPU to render with VRay is RT and from my experience, RT is still pretty buggy in 2.0

I would invest in a better processor with more threads. i7 at a minimum.

no, you need server CPU (Xeon) for dual cpu motherboard.

that'd be a good addition

awesome fredo! thanks!

Lovely, clean renders, with a nicely limited colour palette.
It can be tricky to get a good angle on a restricted space like this, but you've really made it work. If I was being really picky, the only thing I'd change is the cropping on the left of the image: cropping tight to the edge of the TV feels a bit awkward. I'd try a slightly loose or tighter crop. But that really IS being picky 😄. These are great!
A

select all, right click, interact with all, should do the trick

I often find that it helps to disable "super rounding at corners" and enable "respect strict offset as far as possible" in the grey settings bar at the top of your viewport when using roundcorner

Hi Dave R, Thanks for the clear observation and helpful tips. I will improve my next tutorial videos using your tips. Thanks again.

btw, I was lil bit excited that I figured out how to model it. it took me a while to figure it out. that's why I shared it as a tutorial.

awesome !!! will try ! thanks!!!

whoops, I turned this in to a feature request thread! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

thanks again for the replies. no problems with "hijacking this thread". I myself found the automatically created backups lil bit useless. my macbook pro only have 256GB ssd hard disk. it definitely takes up space. my dilema is I dont think getting a better computer is right for me yet. updating to mac pro is too pricey. i love macs though. updating to custom built pc or hp z workstations or any high end pcs are still pricey based on the minimal or low demand 3d interior rendering jobs im doing.

That looks like low sampling of Irradiance Map. Put higher values (go from 50/20 to something like 80/40)

will try that setting. Thanks for the help!

Thanks Andybot! you helped me a lot.

Thanks Ted for the comment. and I did contact sales and support from chaosgroup!
But the sad reality is They did tell me I have to pay for a new license fee, because its due to abuse of dongle license use. I think it really applies to Asian market. I told them it's not fair and it doesn't make sense. It really hurts customers at the end. a policy can be bad. you have to be brave enough to tell them it's wrong. I still don't like that policy at all, even though I really enjoying using vray for su.

I'm glad I found my dongle at the end.

There are some specific requirements that have to be met for us to replace the Dongle. I think your case was a special one which is why we were not going to replace it. I'm going to send you a PM with some more specific instructions.

thanks you all. i will try them. really useful tips!!
