A little preview

No just a fact finding mission, though have had some mechanical design work on a stand the last couple of years.

Which stand is your work on? I am there again this year, will keep a look out.

Cheers Tom, more to be posted soon...currently battling with file size

Sorry being an idiot, had accidentally deleted the source files. Doh!!!

Has anyone experienced any issues with bump not rendering, when using render to vrimg?

Cheers Richard : )

Hi it has been a long time since I have posted anything on this forum...though often check back.

Below is my latest personal project. C&Cs welcome, will update as I progress.

P.S Please ignore the non existent lamp shade in the third picture. Every time I purge model , I lose the material.

Worked a treat, I hoped it would be something as simple as that.

Thank you very much

Sketchup 2013, vray 1.60.23109

Intel Core i5-650 Processor
12 GB installed RAM

Model 226MB with some quite high res textures, lots of reflections, bump and refraction's. No displacement.

I have started getting black dots all over my render. But when I do a clay render it is fine. This only started happening yesterday, not really made many changes since then.

I have tried rendering to VRimage and saving as an exr file, but the problem persists.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Here is a useful tutorial from Nomeradona for getting rid of the 'splotches'

I am using Sketchup 2013 & vray 1.6.023 beta. As of last night I have started getting vray watermarks over my render. I have had this version since its release, with no watermarks.

Can anyone explain why I have suddenly started getting them?

Thank you in advance

Every time you upload an image, I debate switching over to thea. Amazing work!!

Really amazing work

Hi Stefan, I think rug would be a good idea, the floor looks a bit bare. Not a real project, just a learning exercise, trying to improve my skills a bit.

Update below

Awesome renders, really like the mood of the first, maybe a bit of variation in the trees in background.

Thank you Bryan.

wychylylybymy, thank you for the C&C, I really like some of the work you have posted on here so C&C always appreciated. I am already using a HDRI and Light portals. I think I probably was a bit heavy handed in PS, blame it on working late.

Update below

It has been a while since last update....

Still needs quite a bit of work, ambient occlusion probably still needs reducing a bit. Got a bit more time on my hands now, so more updates to come shortly.

Wish I knew about this plugin sooner, gonna save me a lot of time. Thank you very much

Massive respect, these renders are amazing!!
