Settings for animation

[markdc]

I don't have access to the manual since I'm running the demo version, so I'm asking this here:

What are the best settings for animation using GI?

How do you get hdri to work? I put a vrayhdri in the GI enivorment slot but it's not working?

Is there a script to convert standard materials to vray materials (like finalrender)?

Just do some searchs on the net for tutorials... you will find lots of them... but this may get you started:

I found an hdri tutorial, but I'm still not able to get the map to show up in the background. Can anyone tell me how to do this? I'm using stpeters_probe.hdr.

Put the map in the max environment slot too. The vray GI slot is only for GI, this will not make the map show up in BG.

When I do this it messes up the lighting.

Without map in env


with map in env

You need to put the hdri in the vray override slots: both GI and reflection/refraction. If there is a map in the vray GI slot, it will block the light from the max environment slot, so I guess you didn't put the map in the vray GI slot (skylight).

Can you post an image of your settings and where you put which maps?
