This course, taught by Daniel Buck, runs through the basics of V-Ray, from lights, to shaders, to render settings and a few optimization tips. Buck’s professional career has been vehicle related, so the course will focus more on vehicle related things than other things, since that’s his specialty. He will, however, present basic principals so that the knowledge gained applies to other things, not just purely vehicle related issues.

Buck will assume that course participants have at least basic knowledge of Maya, and preferably some knowledge of lighting and shaders in general. No advanced knowledge of any other rendering software is necessary, but for those that do, Buck will go through a few areas where V-Ray differs from other rendering software. He will be using Maya during the term, but operations are very similar between 3dsMax and Maya. It renders identically, and all the options and settings are very similar…the differences are in how you apply properties and find the settings.

The course will focus on the creation and manipulation of lights and shaders, as well as some basic V-Ray settings. It won’t get into to much of the technical nuts and bolts of V-Ray, just giving practical approaches to using the renderer. Ultimately the content will involve setting up a scene where we are creating shaders and lighting for a vehicle. Global illumination will not be covered very much in this lesson, as the main focus will be lights and shaders, as well as touching on basic render settings.

 

Class 1: Intro to Vray. I’ll give a bit of information on Vray, go through the basic Vray settings, and we’ll get ourselves familiar with how Vray is setup. 

Class 2: Working with lights. We’ll look at the basic vray lights, their main settings, and where they function best.? Sphere light, rectangle light, and dome light. 

Class 3: A closer look at lights in Vray, how to use HDR files and flat texture files into dome and rectangle lights, a quick look at IES lights and the sun & sky system in Vray. Lastly, a look at the cutoff threshold of the lights, as a way to optimize the calculation of the lights. 

Class 4: Basic VRay Shader overview, looking at the VRayMtl. Spending most of the time on reflection/refraction (as this is a big part of the VRayMtl), and how VRay handles specular highlights and various aspects of reflections/refractions. Also a quick look at how to control reflections by using maps to break up reflection strength and glossiness. 

Class 5: A look at the VRayBlendMtl, and a few ways of blending shaders together to create more complex shaders, we’ll look at creating a car paint shader, as well as blending to create a few other types of looks, and then finally a bit of optimizing on the shaders reflection tracing, and how far it can actually be taken. 

Class 6: Additional vray shaders. We’ll look at some of the other vray shaders and textures, such as the the vray dirt, light Mtl, and the fastSSS2 shader. 

Class 7: Looking at utilities in VRay, including object properties, subdivision, displacement, as well as multi-matte and extra tex render elements. Ways to provide mattes and utility textures for compositing. 

Class 8: Shaders for vehicle project. For this lesson, we’ll start creating some of the main shaders for our vehicle project.? We’ll look at rubbers, plastics, glass, chrome, and car paint. 

Class 9: General car/model geometry setup for rendering, things to avoid and how to fix them. Making sure glass objects have proper geometry thickness, and making sure normals are facing the correct direction. Quickly touching on using imbedded matte channels through refractions. 

Class 10: Final vehicle project lighting and shaders setup. Here we’ll be doing final tweaks to our lighting and shaders for a better look, as well as running through a few ways to optimize the render settings, lights, and shaders.

      For those who want to learn and Buy

  22. so much much much thanks, I didn’t found any good intro to vray, hope it be a complete guide, thanks..

  27. There should be a rule around here that every uploader should, MUST, use Multiupload. Period. If not, immediate deletion of post. So sick and tired of these lousy file hosts like Filesonic and this new junk one wupload. All of them are slow, all of them kick the connection. And you can’t say it’s my connection because Megaupload works beautifully, without fail every day, but no one uses MU because they can’t make money from it.

    • there should be a rule around here that moaner bitches like yourself should be banned
      buy a filesonic account you cheap bastard

      • IrOnboy, I couldn’t have put it better myself!
        I for one give a big thanks for the post. I remember the days when spending a month downloading a torrent on dial up was the norm.
        You give people four options as to how they would like to (cough) preview these tuts, and mincey little bitches complain that you’re not catering to their needs.
        Keep up the good work IrOnboy. A copy of vray 2.0 for Maya wouldn’t go a miss! but like many others, I’ll be patient when it comes and grateful to the poster.
        Not like some of these turds who expect the world handed to them on a plate.

        • as i said before buy one your self you cheap ass fuck
          $2 a week put away in months time you will be able to buy one
          but I guess your too dumb for that

  35. boring tutorial, not even the real basics are explained, Gnomon is much better

  36. Agreed, when he said “I wont be going through GI because I never use it” I knew this was going to be a waste of time :) Not because I think GI is absoluty necessary to a render, but because an intro-tut to an app should cover all major features. Sat through all of it anyway, covers some shaders, some basic lighting, a few tips learned, but overall a very bad intro to vray. Most of what is taught you can get from spending an hour with the official vray docs.

    • This tut are for new bee and for professional work GI is Slow for production. If you are an expert of vray you should make a intro course.Vray for maya are lot more complex the vray 3dsmax Max. so you have to know how to optimize your rendering quickly.

  37. I believed it still use full for other app. such as Cinema 4D.
