Studio and lighting setup for Vray

[Pandra]

Hi guys, I found on Evermotion.org this interesting tutorial.
On this site it's presented for furniture, but I think it can be useful for car too.

CG Arena studio lighting (http://www.cgarena.com/freestuff/tutorials/max/studiolighting/index.html)

[RCcarreau]

marvelous!
I'll make a test right now and post it here!

Looks good! Cheers for posting.
I have to give this a try in Lightwave, must be possible.

[RCcarreau]

[vanhedeN]

this is what I got, not satisfide at all.

In max 8 (MR ofcoz, not vray), go to lights, roll down menu, select
"photometric", there, lights with that fancy square stuff :D

Make sure you have HSV exponent and color mapping with value of 1.7~2.0 this would reduce light intensity... keep changing the CMap value.

@Broken Bone... Max Photometric Light will Kill MR render speed unless you have patience ;)

[RCcarreau]

After a little crash with my screen (no backlight at all) I've got a new one! so, I post the render as I said (made on last thursday) after a loooong looong render.... (2 hours)

[Evilhoodlem]

this is how i do my studio set up but the problem you can see the grid on which the light is comeing from, which in my mind looks tacky....

[wdcstudios]

I found this tutorial good for the material settings that it gives near the end. I've also used the lighting in a test image of a couch which worked nice maybe turn the lights down.

[Rorschach]

Thanks for that ! :D

[petter]

WELL..I THINK YOU ALL MUST SEE LEGOLAZ AUDI A8 W12 TO UNDERSTAND LIGHTING..I DONE A TEST RENDER TO SEE HOW IT LOOKS..WITH SOME MODS , FOR ME, IT IS QUITE WELL....:buttrock:

THANX TO LEGOLAZ..:deal:

[petter]

greath environement :D

[StationMiek]

The thing I've noticed with tutorials is it leads most people into the tutorial writer's habits. They're good of course, but it's not always the right way to be done (most of the time). :clown:

[raptorvs]

i saw only the work of legolaz,i don't know he copied or invented it..and so what!!..

[legolaz]

i know too)

never saw that environment earlier, show me i'm interested

[Sotman]

i think its a cool basic setup .... u have 2 tweak some settings etc...but its cool for basic stuff and to learn the parameters in vray...


thats what ive got from this tut with some changes:
