Please help me ! The axis in 3d studio disappeared !!! The sun appears always as at sunset !!! Cause has 0 degree !!! :(

[TheBMW320cabrio]

@TheBMW320cabrio I cannot moving nothing !!!

[SarKstiC90]

Thanx !!! :D

[richcassy]

but how do u use hdri to put clouds in? awesome tutorial by the way...

[xFoKe]

thx helped me alot

[Milkshakman]

Great tutorial.

[offline65]

the Shadow bias works the other way for me:)

If i put in low number (like in the Tutorial) the shadows goes far and if i put in bigger number (7-8) the shadows are close to the object :)

am i doing something wrong?:D

Your site is an attack site says Firefox.

[pmaterazzi]

@Jarzka1990 yes, the site is not mine anymore and i already recommend on the video descrption not to watch it

[hristousa]

Thanks, but when I want to render clouds (volume fog used), there are so bright white and I can't see them. Is there a way to make them "visible"? Also, I'm searching for good tutorial about creating clouds.. :[

[pmaterazzi]

@hristousa if you want nice clouds, you better go for a HDRI

russellmac try to use it eith vray cam with 500 or 1000 film speed

[moncha969]

aaaaaaaaw THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! :D your tutorial is the only one that works for me! xD I had to do some changes because I have 3d max 2010! but aaa thank you so much! you should do more totorials! :)

[filarete]

vraysun is not ment to work together with a standart max camera. Turning the sun's intensity value down to 0.0xxx is like creating a smart workaround around the advantages of the vray skylight system. ;-)

Use a vray physical cam instead, leave the sun's intensity value where it is at 1.0 and adjust the film speed/shutter speed of the vray physical cam from 200 down to e.g. 30, or something in the range.

[russellmasc]

i have a problem....whatever i render comes in bright white.....from any angle.....help plz....is there a way to reduce intensity??...im using 3ds max9 and vray

[pmaterazzi]

in the tutorial i explain that u must set the intensity to very low levels in the vray sun parameters, something like 0.02

[conodelamadreputa]

@pmaterazzi if you use vray cameras you can adjust the intensity of the ISO and the speed of the shooter... among a lot of things that will allow you to play even more with those values without reducing them so much ;-)

[pmaterazzi]

@conodelamadreputa yes u are right, but by the time i did the video i didnt know that :D

[fjdp0523]

@russellmasc check the color brightness or verify the application of the material on the subject and also the field of specular color.

[symon316]

oh man.. my 3dmax 2009 has no vray plug in..could you help me for that..tnx

[pmaterazzi]

@symon316 officially u should buy the software.. i cannot help with that, but i guess u can sort this situation looking around the internet

[dlefik2008]

awesome work man, answered a lot of questions i had about the vray sun while keeping it simple. now my outdoor scene looks so much better when i actually have an understanding of what the different settings do.

[christiebrody]

the result is very nice but why is it evreytime i try to use vray physical camera, the result always turns out to be alot darker?have you ever try it?do you know why?

[johnnien2]

what settings do you use on the vray renderer? is it by default?

[pmaterazzi]

not default, send me a private message with what exact settings u want and ill write u back

[rougeson]

vray 1.5RC3 and 3ds max 9

[pmaterazzi]

hmmm did u set the indirect illumination on - inside the vray panel with Irradiance Map/Light Cache and all the rest of the vray panel as default? if this doesnt work send me ur messenger by a private message i will add u and we can sort it somehow

[rougeson]

yeah !it was coloured if i will render it w/ vray light

but if in vray sun light it will be just black and white color.

[pmaterazzi]

whats ur version of vray and 3d software?

[rougeson]

i mean ,if u rendered it the output will be just black and white color.

[rougeson]

help me !it goes to black and white when u r rendering it!

[pmaterazzi]

black n white? never had such problem...very strange

[Miesvanderhro]

I am having the same problem as

Protech14, everything turns white.

I am using Rhino as 3d modeling, and rendering with vray.

I figured it out that it was the physical camera that was making things blasted white.

Could u help me?

[pmaterazzi]

write me ur messenger address and we can talk about it, are u using a vray camera as well?

[Protech14]

i dont gett it, my settings are exacly the same as yours but i get a Blasted scene, withevery thing turning white like if it was an atomic explosion

[pmaterazzi]

write me ur msn or skype and i help you

[polloxero]

why you don,t use sketchup`?

[pmaterazzi]

u can use, theres vray for sketch up, but for modelling and texturing 3dsmax normally is much superior

[Skyrodude]

hahahahahahahahahaha sketchup!! whahahahahaha... Use the real software like 3DSmax, Maya, Zbrush etc.. etc.

[monechee]

nice job dude.
