  • Welcome to the Tips, Tricks and Tutorials Section

    Since many of you have requested it, welcome to the tips, tricks, and tutorials section. This is section of the forum is for you, the V-Ray community, to post short tutorials for the community. For more formal tutorials please visit the ASGvis Tutorial section which can be found here.

    This section is for the sharing and discussion of the tutorials to be posted. Please do not post here if you are having general rendering issues, might have found a bug, or are looking to post images of your work. There are specific sections of the forum for these topics, so please post them in the appropriate place. The goal of this section is to be a quick resource for finding hands-on information about V-Ray and matters that relate to rendering with V-Ray. Any topics that are more appropriate for another section of the forum will be moved to the most relevant section in an effort to keep this section as clean and easy to navigate as possible.

    Users are encouraged to post tutorials in this section. The tutorials most be focused around rendering, but may describe processes that are not necessarily specific to V-Ray, but are useful for V-Ray users (i.e. Mapping objects, modeling objects for a certain render affect, manipulating maps, or post processing renderings would all be acceptable topics that are not V-Ray specific). It is the responsibility of the user posting to keep their tutorials as accurate, reliable, and clear as possible. Tutorials are subject to editing in order to keep the information reliable for the whole community.

    Tutorials that are exceptionally useful will be stickied for easier access.

    Here's my editing policy from a previously thread:

    As for the editing itself, I'll probably add the comments like I've done above. I don't feel like being a censor and I don't want you guys to feel that you don't have free speech, so I'll stay away from actually changing what was said. The exception to this that I see at the moment is small grammar/spelling changes for clarity(minor basically) or pieces of information that are just plain wrong or completely misleading (much more important). I don't foresee too much of the second instance happening, so my role will simply be to interject with more details, or clarification.

    If you feel that you have a small tutorial that you would like to post, but feel you need another set of eyes, then I wouldn't mind taking a look over it if that would make you more comfortable about posting it. I can't guarantee a timely response every time, but I can try to get to it when I have a chance. Emailing would be best, although PM would work. Just be kind with emailing me tons of stuff

                Understanding Turbidty and Ozone

                Originally posted by dalomar
                There are two parameters for the sun that will adjust the color (besides the actual time of day); Turbidty and Ozone. Turbidity is probably the more affective one, and it essentially an adjustment of how hazy the sky is. The more turbidity, the more yellow or orangeish the sky will appear. The less turbidity, the more blue it appears. Ozone is an adjustment of the actual color of the sunlight itself. This goes from slightly yellowish at 0 to slightly bluish at 1. Try adjusting those two and you should be able to adjust to what your looking for.

                As far as where the sun is, your shadows in SU are your preview.

                    Did a little house cleaning today...some topics were moved to the General section since they really didn't provide any actual tips, and a few were moved into the requests thread.
