Is the book for Vray Rhino or Max or both?

Re: VRay 1.5 - The Complete GUIDE [ BOOK ]

fan-tas-tic book this !

I pre-ordered it (english), got it a few days back. Can't put it down !! the book contains all ( & I mean ALL !) possible permutations settings for all settings and variables in V-ray discussed with FULL COLOR illustrations of tests done by the author, so its great for advanced/ experienced users to keep as a ready referencer & guide right next to their system while rendering. Now there's no need to fiddle around with/test what a particular change to a particular setting will result in & waste valuable time. A definite buy this... Anyone else who has the book feel the same way ?

Re: VRay 1.5 - The Complete GUIDE [ BOOK ]

I just received this book, and it is fantastic. Very in depth look at all settings. You do have to be ready for a lot of information that is not 100% VRay however. For instance, when describing the Color Mapping settings, the author spends about 8 pages going over the different options, then about 50 pages on how the eye sees color, some color theory, and color management, then back into the explanation of the Color Mapping roll out. The 50 page interlude is useful in that it explains why certain setting lead to certain results, but you do need to stick with it a bit to get what you are after.

My only real disappointment in the book is that there is no index. The table of contents is quite good and well organized, but sometimes it is nice just to be able to look up what you are after in an alphabetical manor.

Lastly, the translation to English is quite good. As this is pretty technical material, I was worried that some of it might not translate well, but it is very easy to read. There are a few very isolated instances where a chart or illustration has isolated Italian notation, but nothing that stops you from understanding what is going on.

It wouldn't be a bad idea in my opinion to offer it as a bundle option with the VRay product itself.

Re: VRay 1.5 - The Complete GUIDE [ BOOK ]

Hi sampage,

thanks for your comment. I agree with the in-depth index. But it's in my "TO DO". When it's ready, I upload to my site and official forum, in ITA and ENG language.
Fopr the "isolated instances ", please, send me the #PAGES and I try to correct and upload the new correct version in PDF format.
And I'm very happy you like tre ITA-to-ENG translation. This is very difficult book to translate and the translators have made an excellent job.

Best regards
