One simple Tutorial, to get someone started...

[Theory13]

i've got no clue what i'm doing wrong, but i can only render black frames.

is there a simple tutorial that can just explain how to render a sphere on a ground plane with vray for Rhino?

thanks!

Theory13,

Here is a quick tutorial.

1. Start Rhino>Choose V-Ray for Rhino as you current renderer under Render>Current Renderer>Vray for Rhino

2. Create your plane and sphere. Adjust camera to your desired render view.

3. Setup the V-Ray rendering options from the V-Ray menu>Options as follows:

Under the Indirect Illumination tab set GI to ON.

4. Apply V-Ray material(s): Select the sphere>Get object properties menu>Select Material from the combo box at the top of the object properties window>Plug-in>Create>Custom V-Ray Material>Set Diffuse color to Red>select OK to exit. Apply the same process for the plane.

5. Render

This should give you a starting point.

Best regards,

Corey
