hello.

i really need some fresh ideas here.

My vray light doesn’t seem to listen to my thoughts… :slight_smile:

This is a sample image:

HINT:
The light should be casting only inside the building, and should come out only through the cutouts from the wall

For now…i’ve failed…

My settings:

In the mean while some help would be great!

Thanks!

Well the vray lights being that size will probably be your problem.. try putting the lights inside the building.

haha

A vray lights is an area light not a point light. so that yellow circles that you see from thwe vray light are not the fall off of the light but the actual light size itself :slight_smile:
So what you have there is 2 huge mutha vray lights.

Make them much much smaller so that they fit inside your church, like what natty said.

Thanks guys!

:smile:

It’s a good idea. I wasn’t aware of that…

Thank you for your time. I really appreciate it!

:roll:

what version are you using there?

7

The about screen says 1.09
Why do you ask?

This is what i managed to get from your advice.

8

Are you using a demo or free version?

i don’t really know.

I found an installation kit. I ran it and the renderer installed itself without any questions asked…

I did’n get any dialogs or popups telling me to register or that it will expire.

Weird stuff.

PS: does “VRay Adv 1.09.03n” mean anything to you? (it’s written in the renderer bar from max 6)

Well what you have there is an illegal copy of vray. And i think you know that.

I suggest you uninstall it and then download the free version or the demo version from the vray website. Otherwise you wont get any more help or support around here anymore.

I also second that… !

Here Here … !!!

Smart talkers… :expressionless:

I can’t afford a v-ray license, because i’m a student (my scholarship is 30$/month). I’m interested in working with Vray. I’m fond of the product. But I’m not sure I can raise the cash in 2 years. Didn’t think of that, did you?!

Any offers or bright ideas? I would like to hear them. Really!

If you know anything about discounts or student licenses, do tell.

P.S.: I must have had a wrong opinion about this forum… I guess there’s no such thing as unconditional help

No your right there is no unconditional help for people who knowingly use an ilegal copy of vray … either use the free version or the demo ..
