Learning of interior rendering

Hello, I have few question, and want to learn interior rendering, for start.
1. What should choose maya or max compatibility for exporter that are given option in blender exporter.
2. Are portals really necessary, if yes simple portal or portal would be better.
3. what better to use:
a) World for GI lighting,
b) Hemi (dome),
c) both with same hdri image.
4. what GI primary and secondary engine should be:
a) for speed
b) for quality

For interior rendering I use an hemi with a world with the same hdr image.

For GI, it depends on the scene. Interior renders could be long to render, check the documentation here.

thank you for answer, next question how to render particles lets say hallo spheres whitch are lightint, and dont whant to see emitter, I am asking because in particles panel render section, emitter ticked on or off, result are the same vray renders emiter with particles

if i choose particle type Hair, than emitter plane can be controled to be visible or not in renderin proces, is that a bug or my mistake

Update your exporter and there is no bug anymore.

Thank you for advice, some times exporterupdater writes git error.
I whant to ask how to get only light pass layer, for glow wfect purpose in post production

“Color Channel” node, then select “Type” you need.

thank you, bdancer, next question, how to acheve DOF?

1. Camera → Parameters → Use Depth Of Field
2. Camera → Physical → Use DOF
+ tweak settings

how to atcheve lense glass efect, and how to get energy preservation effect

> how to atcheve lense glass efect

Use V-Ray Frame Buffer’s “Lens Effects”.

> how to get energy preservation effect

Have no idea what is that =)

about energy preservation

“Standard Material” or “BRDF VRayMtl” “Energy Mode” attribute.

26823 I have problem, rendering on two computers, with 2 nodes, and tiles are not the same color tone, that will see verry clear on the wall

by the way render slave is ubuntu, master computer is macintosh

Stugys, Are V-Ray versions exactly the same?

vertion is the same, 3.20.03 if you need proof i can snapshot both computers

> if you need proof i can snapshot both computers

Sure, please, report to support@chaosgroup.com.

hello i have one question, looks like for faster renders, need to use render nodes, so what hardware are best for price/performance wise is it server with xeons, or lets say i7 4790k and overcloced it with water cooling, and use 3 or 5 of them

I dont know is there a right place for test renders here, but i tryed my old modeled skyline for learning vray
