Sadly, yes. Hated those. Rotrings as well. Vile things. 😄

Thank you Bryan and jo-ke.

there is a stand alone version that can be used now. maybe some scripting guru can port it for sketchup??

Thanks guys, I can't take credits for the colour scheme, because I got "hints" from a professional person. I got some freedom, like how much or where to put colours, but I followed a specific colour palette.
Regarding lighting, I'm using more and more a technique that I've picked up following some tutorials. It belongs to Fernando, and basically, is the use of the GI, with a big multiplier, without any map (sky) applied. V-ray users know, that if the light coming from the sun is not enough, sky portals in windows should be used. It's a shame I can't try the beta version, because I have no time lately, and it doesn't sound right to me to install it, and not to give proper feedback.
Cheers,
Stefan

Ciao Nino, I've used different color combinations, but now it's out of my hands. Like I said in a previous post: "people and color choices" .
Thanks for your comment!

Well, at his (current) age I would not be horrified...

Nice render, i think youve captured the lighting very well, itd be cool with a background to it though.

Hi,
I'm visiting Matthias site for a long time now. He always surprise me with his creativity.
All seems so simple to him.

I would like to share here a technique to export models from 3dsmax Autodesk to google sketchup using 3ds files.

Please download the file: DetachElements.mcr in this site:
http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scrip ... h-elements

Then insert this file in the folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\3ds Max 2010\Scripts\Startup

I import the model to be exported into the Sketchup into the 3dsmax, I press on the keyboard Alt+NumPad2 and after this Alt+NumPad3. What do these shortcuts?

Alt + NumPad2 Separates groups in all elements of the model, using the script mentioned above.
Alt + NumPad3 Makes 'Reset Xform'.

After that it's only export to Google Sketchup, that objects do not come all messed up.

Surely you want to use the plugin CleanUP done by thomthom.

Thanks..

yeah stefan...keep pushing this. DOF effects are great and often a challenge to accomplish in vray. Have any of you ever tried using photoshop plugins like "Alien Skin" software to get your DOF effects....I am looking more and more into it, but i dont know if i am sold on it yet. And Pete, im with stefan on this one and anxious to see some of your vray work as well. I havent been around on the forums as much as I would like to lately so I hope learning the software is working out well for you. Keep up the good work stefan.

That would be great to see.

Daniel, thanks for coment....well, I think I'm frustrated because it seems that I can't make any progress, regarding the rendering, and I'm stuck with this kind of quality. I don't have the free time how I used to have.....should I blame my wife for that? 😆
Cheers,
Stefan

hi stef, nice work man, materials looks good, but i just dont know about the floor, but other than that and for 30 min each image its very good! see ya bro.

Thanks for comment guys! I'll try to put more detail next time.
Adam,the chairs and the table are 3ds models, from here : http://www.archibase.net/
You have to register, and then you can browse for free models. As you can see, I have some missing geometry over the corners of the chairs. I shared the stove as well here:

Ely, thanks for comment, your last cars are amazing, and I enjoyed the tutorial as well! 👍

Another one, I hope this one will be useful too ( for me it is 😄 )
