first vray project c&c

[THEOREM]

well there are some known issues that couldnt be resolved before the deadline. primarily the glass and the cascading water on the courtyard shot. i couldnt seem to get the glass right. i used the egz glass still not quite right. perhaps this is because of a lack of interior items and detail?

any solutions/comments to these problems or other critiques and tips would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Hi , first Welcom Theorem


Well what i see first, is that there´s very few contrast in your Scene. overal light seems nearly as strong as the sunlight.

do you use some kinda exposure control ? this could lead to a very weak sunlight, if you dont have very big differences in sunlight and environement light.

What i also do most time , i use an override environement, because usual environement immages lead to a very overbright environementlight. this will get much better with the new "sunlightsystem", vlado will introduce with 1.5 and also with mapped hdri skydomes.

Well i would try to gett stronger contrasts.

is your glass applied to planes or boxes?

you can get strange effects when applying transparent opjects to single sided planes.

[THEOREM]

cool, thanks for the comments. so you are saying that i should make my environment multiplier smaller and my sunlight brighter. makes sense. although i was having problems with lighting the more covered spaces. i was trying to achieve an evening effect, so this may have caused this problem. i didnt use exposure controll.

what exactly do you mean by an environment override. i didnt use my emvironment map to provide lighting if thats what you mean.

and yes i did apply glass to plane, ill try with boxes and see what happens.

thanks again for the comments.
