"03_VRay motion blur samples :
I find that useful especially for moving cars where with the default settings the wheels look very strange .
you can adjusted that globally under VRay settings but I prefer to increase the samples only where needed ."

This is *very* right: moblur samples are essentially copies of the geo at different times, so raising the number only for the stuff which absolutely needs it is exceedingly smart.
Maybe you'd like to mention the memory detail?

that's right ..I've noticed that in another renderer too where the default settings there for MB can cause huge ram consumption so I started to be careful with that everywhere...thanks for the explanation.
I originally wanted to write more on this (and the other tips) but - thankfully - there is a limit for how many words I can use for each image ..maybe posting on artstation wasn't a good idea.
for the next parts, I will try to add some text on the video itself to have more freedom and make things more clear for the viewers.

Ahah, nono, less is more, i was just thinking out loud!
It's a great little page as it is!

05_Exclude from Zoom extents :
This one can be applied with any renderer but usually I apply it to the Vraysun and/or the background, so I can focus on the scene every time I hit Z in the keyboard instead of zooming out too far : )).

Awesome...

Where can i get the VRLens stuff from, all of the wetransfer links are dead? Looks fab!

You should probably post it in the tread with the lens file. So the owner can see it.

I will check with the owner and see if I can upload them again and add that link in the forum post /artstation.
thanks for the note.
