Title: Mographplus – V-Ray Masterclass: Your Complete Guide to V-Ray 5 & 6 for 3ds Max
Info:
Hey folks, I’m very glad to ring o our new online course: “V-Ray 5 Masterclass: Your Complete Guide to V-Ray for 3ds Max”.
It’s 983 minutes, more than 16 hours of on-demand videos in 97 lessons, covering everything about V-Ray for 3ds Max, including lighting, Materials, Cameras, rendering, etc.
We’ve been working on this course for the past 4 months and it feels amazing to finally be able to make it available to you.
Every single minute of every single video is planned and thought for, you get the top-notch quality you’ve come to expect from MographPlus.
Now, let’s see what we have in store for you, my focus for this course was to introduce new modern workflows that might not be familiar for most people and at the same time, break older norms that no longer make any sense but people still use them.
For example, how many of you use ACES? Pretty sure not many of you. ACES has improved color management by leaps and bounds and most people don’t know how to properly implement it in their workflows, I promise, you will gain a deep understanding of ACES after watching the course.
Or why are we still using the old way of shader creation which includes a lot of trials and errors by dialing very specific reflection amount, Fresnel amount and so on? wouldn’t a more streamlined, customized PBR workflow be better, more realistic and easier for everyone?
Or for god’s sake, why do we still consider Irradiance Mapping a viable GI solution, the last I checked, it is no longer 10 years ago, there are better ways and you’ll get to learn them throughout the course.
Chapter 1: Introduction (31 min)
We start off the course by introducing V-Ray for 3ds Max, where to find different V-Ray tools and functions, and walk you through the general workflow to get your job down with V-Ray. As we are working with ACES throughout the course, we take a look at how to set up ACES in V-Ray for 3ds Max here before getting back to it in detail in the rendering section of the course.
Chapter 2: Lighting (109 min)
The next section of the course is all about lighting, you learn about the fundamentals of lighting and different lighting techniques while learning about the vast and unique lighting tools that V-Ray offers.we learn about Area Lights, Mesh and IES lights, Dome Light and image-based lighting.
Chapter 3: Global Illumination (69 min)
In section 3, we talk about Global illumination or indirect lighting, first we learn how light rays work in real world and how V-Ray Simulates the same behavior using GI, then we start learning about different GI engines in V-Ray, like Brute force and light cache. We learn how to use these engines in different lighting scenarios to produce the most realistic lighting possible, the pros and cons of each one and where to use them.
Chapter 4: Materials (277 min)
In the next section of the V-Ray 5 Masterclass, we start discussing V-Ray Materials and maps. Not only you learn about all the specific V-Ray Materials, but after watching this section, you will be equipped with the core shading fundamentals and cutting-edge techniques in shader development.
First, we get to know the newly added V-Ray asset browser, an extensive, ready to use V-Ray Material library.
then we learn about the powerful V-Ray Material which is capable of creating all sorts of materials, there are 10 dedicated in-depth lessons covering that material.
Chapter 5: Camera (63 min)
Then we learn all about Cameras, camera types, Depth of field, motion blur and everything that relates to working with cameras in V-Ray.
First, we explore V-Ray Physical camera in depth, then we learn how to get Depth of field and motion blur, we learn about different camera types in V-Ray, stereoscopic 3d rendering, lens effects, auto exposure and VR ready renders
Chapter 6: Rendering (223 min)
Section six of the course is all about rendering with V-Ray, we learn all about the fundamentals of image sampling and ray tracing with V-Ray.
Then we talk about ACES, a system to manage color in all levels of the production, I will give you an overall understanding of what ACES is and does, how to set it up properly in V-Ray for 3ds Max Then I share a few examples comparing ACES and the default color manger and show you why ACES is just way better, and finally how to deal with ACES-managed renders in post.
Chapter 7: Miscellaneous (77 min)
In the next section, we take a closer look at a few miscellaneous topics, like V-Ray proxy and alembic import, object and light properties, scene exporter and converter, V-Ray Fur, V-Ray Instancer and Clipper.
We also learn about Volume Grid, I show you all the steps you need to render openVDB and other volume formats in V-Ray and how to render amazing and realistic clouds, fire, smoke and explosions using V-Ray.
Chapter 8: What’s new In V-Ray 5.1
In this section, we learn about all the new features that were added to V-Ray 5.1 including the new Translucency section in the V-Ray Material, Multiple Additive Dome Lights, Masks in VFB, VFB Stamp, Intel Open Image Denoiser, advanced Material Override, Camera Lister, Progressive Caustics, New Render elements, Cosmos, GPU improvements and much more.
We also rerecorded a few videos in the Material section of the course to make them compatible with the new translucency section in the V-Ray Material, including the “refraction” lesson, the “translucency” lesson and the “How To Basic Shaders” lesson.
Chapter 9: What’s new In V-Ray 5.2
In this section, we learn about all the new features that were added to V-Ray 5.2 including the new V-Ray Decal, Sharpen/Blur layer and Batch Image Processing in the Frame Buffer, Atmospheric Light Contribution Control, Extended Material Override Options and more.
Chapter 10: What’s new In V-Ray 6
In this section we learn about all the new features added in V-Ray 6.
There are 9 new videos, almost 60 minutes of new content covering features like Chaos Scatter, Procedural Clouds, the new Thin Film component of the V-Ray material, V-Ray Enmesh, Finite Mode in the V-Ray dome light, V-Ray Decal with Displacement Mapping, Object Hierarchy in V-Ray Proxy, the new Panorama View and Composition Guides in VFB and finally the Texture Batch Load Tool.
Conclusion
If you want to learn V-Ray for 3ds Max, this is the course to get, period.
And finally learn how to render flicker-free object animations with GI.
I find what this and the rest of the content, and overall material as well as the quality is just amazing. I only came across this site two days ago and ever since i have just been amazed at the output, the format the design. Its so professional. And we are so lucky to get so many of the things for free its just WOW. Well done well done well done all round. I personally had issues with finding 3d models and materials for 3d face models as well as guides. This website has given me so much positivity its unreal. For someone who is trying to do a lot of models and work and not having the funds to go for 3d.sk or 3dscan materials. This just is the answer. The only little thing though, is i wish I would be able to join the torrent download option. That would just be the cherry on top, just because I plan on downloading a lot of deferent things I already made a list of. However , the rapidgator and other links dont work sometimes for me.
Warning: Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the app. Some of the materials posted here are downloaded from CGPeers, So they could potentially have something injected in them.
We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive, Generic, Patcher, Riskware and Heuristic results, most patches could get false flags like that by some Antivirus companies.) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link or the file MD5 Hash (higher than 30% overall positive result). Thank you.
There is no Chapter 9 and 10

Could anyone so kind to share a torrent of this course ?
Thanks in advance for your time and attention.

Thanks a lot for your time and attention.
Yes, please share a torrent if possible. Thanks!
Chapter 9 and 10 upload Please
There is a torrent on cgpeers, but its 2 years old…
So there is no chapter 9 or 10…? can you confirm people…?
Because if not, its the same as the 2 years old torrent….
Its the same as old – no 09 and 10
That’s too bad… It would be nice to have 9 and 10. Any hope?
