I have been looking forward to this for awhile. If I can manage it, I will try to get one once they are available. Thanks for the update.
Hi cecofuli,
Well done, I am looking forward to it!
Best regards

looks like a good book but the price is way too high.
Hi
The “problem” is that this book is very very BIG and heavy! It’s not like a classic manual. It’s 3.0 Kg, 21x30 (A4) and 1.000 pages. It’s like a BIBLE, and this is why this price. Try to compare with italian MR book:
http://www.educational.am4.it/Pagine/Catalogo/Scheda.asp?Libro=3
* It’s 600 page (not 1030)
* It’s 17cm x 24cm ( not 21cm x30cm)
* No DVD
* Price is 80 euro
For the shipping cost, I’m looking for the best solution. Some country is very expensive, like Lituania, Ghana, Somalia, Russia, Tanzania etc…Other “less” expensive, like France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Netherlands. Sorry, but the shipping cost (diesel) is very expensive and i can’t to do nothing. If you are interested, temporarily you can see the Italian postal service. This is a common price for 3.0 Kg. POSTAL SERVICE.
It’s in Italian, but is not so difficult tu understand. Soon we will post the exact shipping cost for all countries in the world.

i too agree with the price…its perfectly fine!!
I think the price seems about right.
I bought the new set of Arch Vis books from Brian Smith not too long ago and it was about $150, which combined are probably close to the same number of pages as this guide.
Price is perfect, it’s not like you have to pay per rendernode
Great work cecofuli!
It’s bit steep compared to a typical off the shelf book, but how useful are most of those really?
Anyway, maybe better to compare the value of this book to your own time instead. How many hours do you think it will save you?
I’m in for sure.

well I think it’s ok for the quentity of great things that are inside,
I will order it next week normaly

My thought exactly. I already feared it was nodelocked, so I had to buy 2 for home and office and had to order a new book with each new PC =)
I’m a little late to post but I wanted to give my highest recommendation to Francesco’s book. I was honored to help with the translation from Italian to English, in doing so I have read the entire volume and in the process learned a lot. Francesco has a real talent in laying out the information in a logical and easy to understand fashion, the book is literally chock full of relevant tests and examples. I have always subscribed to a “big spins” method of learning V-Ray, where one learns what each settings does really only by testing the extremes of each setting. Francesco has taken the time to do this for every setting in V-Ray showing the results, the render times and when relevant, plotting the results with data such as memory use vs. render time. Studying his tests is “The” way to really understand what is happening under the hood. Beyond the nuts and bolts there are also some of the clearest and easy to understand discussions on LWF, Digital Color Theory, Cameras, etc. I have no doubt that anyone who reads his book will walk away with a better grasp of V-Ray and the related aspects of cg Viz.
Congrats Francesco!
nice !!!
i think i’ll offer one to me
If you’re interested by a french translation, i’m your guy!
