I have obviously just started to use Vray and wanted to illuminate a mass model that I am currently working on.

I have one direct target light 0.35 intensity with Vray shadow

Here are my settings:

Image Sampler - fixed rate 1

GI - on Refractive Caustics - on
first bounce - 1.2
second bounce - 1.0 ( son't go any higher than 1.0???)

Irradiance map -3,-2 HSph - 20 Interp. sample - 20
Mode - single frame

Environment - Override on light blue 0.75

Vray 1.09.03r with VIZ 2005

Any advise is greatly appreciated. Also I want to get a decent glass material but having difficulty even getting any transparency - the glass is hidden in the image posted. Thanks again.

Regards Peter.

problem with autorization

[J_Bug]

You have an authorization problem. Contact Chaos group.

[tri-xy68]

I was wondering why there was no authorization code to punch in when I installed the software?? Is there some way I can trigger that? To get my computer ID that is??

Thanks for the input.

Regards Peter.

[J_Bug]

You should contact Chaos about that due to the sensitive nature of authorizing VRay.

[tri-xy68]

What is sensitive about it? I bought it. I installed it, and it's not working properly. I have an e-mail off to Tedi at Vray already. I'm wondering why it works at all with out authorization?? Does anyone know how to get to the Vray Authorization dialogue?? Thanks again in advance.

Regards Peter.

you need to delete your OLD VRAY info from your registry ..... there must be some info there for vray not to ask for autho!!

Wasnt there a similiar problem with pink/red/green spots and blotches when you have a lot of groupings going on?

I've had the same specs as tri-xy68 for a while, and never experienced any spots/bloches what so ever...unless you leave raytraced mats around and use photons.....

Just getting the auth. issue cleared up and will check on the splotches when I get to work. They are all vray materials, really just one material on everything, just a grey colour actually. No photon mapping everything default except for what was posted in my original post. Thanks for all the help.

Regards Peter.

[tri-xy68]

Everything all fixed up now no splotches but still can't change secondary bounces past 1.0?? I'm just playing with all the settings really. Will be trying to read the material I downloaded about the program. Anyone have any good suggestions on the best material to search out other than the manual from the chaos group?? Thanks everyone for your help.

Regards Peter.
