Hi, i'll be holding a 4 hours workshop on VrayBlender in Torino (Italy) on October 26 2011 , during the Digital Media Workshops @ View Conference 2011.
Abstract:
This workshop will introduce you to using VrayBlender : install and initial setup , standard lighting setup for interiors , global illumination , camera and exposure , creation of basic shaders.
VrayBlender is a plugin developed by Andrey M. Izrantsev, the plugin allows rendering in Blender with Vray standalone by ChaosGroup .
It combines the incredible open source CG application that is Blender with the render speed and many features of Vray , one of the most popular render engines from arch. viz. to cinema to realtime.
The workshop will be a walkthrough setting up an interior scene and present examples of use for still renders and lightmaps baking.
Lastly, there will be a quick note on how Blender and Python (in this case with Vray) allow customization of your art tools even for who’s not a professional programmer

I've published the scene i will be using in the workshop: download on BlendSwap : http://www.blendswap.com/3D-models/s...gi-test-scene/
If anybody has tried the scene and would like to comment please post questions and suggestions !
The workshop should be made available free online as streaming video , language will be italian. Mostly because audience at the conference is 99% italian , and it would anyway be tough for me to do 4 hours workshop in english .
I know it means most people won't have any use for it (except spanish speaking people maybe ?) i doubt i'll be able to dub it in english later , but maybe some shorter video tutorials ..
But anyway , the scene is available for discussion : as i posted in the wip section of this forum , it's an interior scene with settings tuned for a situation with very little direct light (so heavy interpolation in GI ) , with some glossy reflections but large smooth surfaces ( so uses adaptive subdiv. for speed but struggles a bit with reflections noise) .. etc.. If you see anything you like (or don't ) in the setup of that scene i'd be happy to discuss it.
