Photorealism with V-Ray: Practical Lighting Techniques

Photorealism with V-Ray: Lighting in Practice

“For your project, choose two photographs of real projects that you like, one internal project and one external project, and reproduce them in the program using the lighting techniques you learned in this course. If you wish, you can use the files we used throughout the classes as a base, but don't forget to add your personality to each one of them, such as changing the textures, blocks, and even changing the project, okay? Let me show you an example of how I would like to see your process: Prepare your project Take care with your modeling and pay attention to the construction details. Always remember to keep your work area and file organized, using labels, working in groups and components and keeping your file clean.

The materials Configure your materials using the program's own library or explore the program by bringing your own materials to life! The possibilities of results that we can achieve when representing materials in rendering with V-Ray are endless. Humanize your project Humanize your project in a practical way using ready-made and configured blocks from the V-Ray library itself. Choose the objects that best fit the style you want for your project and position them where you want! The V-Ray library is incredible for this because it has optimized blocks that don't weigh down your file! Framing Frame your scenes by choosing the angles that best enhance your project and optimize your file and V-Ray settings for lighting tests. Lighting Brighten up your project with the 3 mood options we learned in the course: sunnyday, overcast and blue hour! The project! Render your image in high quality, edit in the frame buffer and finalize your image in Photoshop! I can't wait to see your results! When you finish your final project, don't forget to share your images on the forum! It will be amazing to exchange experiences and see your results. I loved sharing my method of producing realistic images with you, and if you have any questions, I'm here to help you, just contact me on the forum and I'll answer as soon as possible! Oh! And don't forget to keep practicing rendering more and more every day! See you next time! ”

Partial transcription of the video

“In this course, you learned all the basics you need to know. to start developing incredible illustrations using V-Ray. You have learned that the 3D modeling you produce in SketchUp directly influences the result of your image and we also saw all the pillars of realistic rendering. We go through the basic configuration of materials and humanization of the project using the libraries that the program itself provides us. Throughout the course, I showed you how to frame your scenes, optimize settings and apply artificial and natural lighting. We lit an interior scene and an exterior scene, usin...”
