Vray ignoring Rhino (and vray?) lighting settings

[VictorRayes]

Hi all,

I have been thus far unsuccessful at getting Vray 1.5 to accept lighting input from Rhino 5 64-bit using: Rhino's Directional Light and Vray's "Set sunlight system" (and prob others).

However, I have had some luck setting a rectangular light following a tutorial I found online, but this is not giving me the lighting I want, its only providing me with a 12 o'clock shadow type lighting setting, where I would like to create sunset/sunrise and different colors, etc., etc.

Is there something I'm missing here? Does v-ray ignore rhino light settings by default? Why when I create a sun light system from the v-ray lighting panel is it also ignoring that?

VRay starts with a setting if 1 for global illumination. That is a good bit of light. It will need to be turned down to see the other types of light.

Ok, is there an online wiki with lighting info? or is any/all lighting info explained in the F1 help perhaps?

I have found the courses on Lynda.com to be the best.

Excellent, I do have lynda access, infrequently. Is the courses you're referring to Rhino 5 or V-ray specifically?

Ray 2 in Rhino 5.
