My first image with V-Ray

Actually, my portion of it is complete. I was helping a buddy, who doesn't like to do the modeling part, but is extremely talented at textures and final rendering projects. (even tho he doesn't us GI) He's a Photoshoper, but damn good at it. Once he's done with it I'll post the difference.

Well, here's his final image. Sounds like he did a light tracer rendering, and a standard scanline rendering, and did a bunch of working in Photoshop to finalize it. I'm still trying to get him to move over to V-Ray. I'm a little disappointed in the texture tiling, guess he ran outta time. ...But the client was really happy, and is giving him more work, so that's all that matters.

He also said the client changed the windows, so those are different as well.

hmmmm its not bad...

Wont crit it as there is no point... i guess his clients are not all that fussy
He should really move to vray.. would make his renders heaps better.
