Re: Tricks/Tutorial Requests Here

Hi I would like to request if anyone has done a photo-realistic table lamp (or standing lamp) rendering, because as far as I browsed in the forum (especially the gallery forum) nobody has ever accomplished something like the 3D below (see the table lamp). I maybe wrong because I have just browse about 50% of artworks in gallery forum(for which most of them didn't have any photo-realistic table/standing lamp with lights turned on implemented).

That is what my skilled friend has done in 3dsMax (Thanks to him I was allowed to share his 3D here), in which I find that its easy to achieve a nice lamp fixture in 3dsMax compared to sketchup (maybe thats why almost no one ever try to fully utilize table or standing lamps in their interiors?). If anyone's interested in helping me to do this, I will help too by sharing what he did in 3dsMax to achieve that lamp effect below.

Fake Lighting
1. Go to lighting, create vray light, use the sphere light, reduce the size to realistic shape.
2. Change the color to yellowish, multiplier could be 100 or 200
3. Go to material, create the material of vray2sidedmaterial, always choose discard for the notification
4. Change the front material button to the new vraymaterial which you need to change its color to the same yellowish color.
5. Tick the back material, copy the front material to the back.
6. Note : remember to override material and exclude the lighting fixture objects by the override exclude in the render setting.
7. Apply the vray2sidedmaterial to the lamp fixture.

Does anyone have a good Mac OS X Sketchup for VRay tutorial?

Does anyone have a good Mac OS X Sketchup for VRay tutorial?

The other tutorials I have found on youtube are for older versions and are for Windows.

The Church of Light file is good but is there a written tutorial that goes with it?

Cheers,

Re: Tricks/Tutorial Requests Here

the same code is behind both Windows and Mac versions of our plugin. Workflow is 99% the same as it was in the previous release (1.05.30). There are some changes here and there, but for the most part any tutorials you find for 1.05.30, should still apply to the current version.

Re: Tricks/Tutorial Requests Here

I'd like to ask a hand in two specific topics:

1 - I have tried working with ortographic camera, but I never manage to get the right proportions. I don't know how to set the cylinder height, so any explanation or a link to a tutorial would be very welcome!

2 - Color mapping: i know you can use it to regulate the way you show an interior and the exterior through a window, without having a burned image through the window. I haven't found a good explanation on how to use it though, so any tip on this would be appreciated.

I am using the new version of vray.

Thanks in Advance,
Michael

Re: Tricks/Tutorial Requests Here

I am new to forums, old to sketchup, so apologies if this ends up in the wrong place.
I am having trouble adding dirt to a texture map, as the map which provided the texture is replaced by dirt. If I add the texture to the white colour, the uv map goes into freefall and is very small so I have to guess at a tile factor to get it back up to size.
Even if I add dirt as a second layer with a transparency it still messes up the uv.

Is there a simple way to do this? I can add dirt to a colour just fine, I just want to make dirty bricks. Fernando in his great vids does not provide a clear answer on this.

Regards,
Paul

Re: Tricks/Tutorial Requests Here

How to render this part and use displacement at same time?



the trick is that the lower part of rain tailrace has to be on top of the roof material and upper part below. As displacement raises the surface the tailrace will look like it is below roof material.

NB! The picture is example and does not show my problem. It is how i want my roof to look like.
