Can someone help me out?

Hi there,

I am having a couple of problems with an interior scene i am working on. Can anyone help me on the following:

1. (See image attached) I am getting these bright areas at the junction between the wall and floor which I have circled in red. How do i get rid of this?

2. I want to be able to add a background scene in Photoshop so therefore need obtain alpha settings for the blue background i have now so that it can be deleted later without affecting the glazing. How do I do this?

Sorry if i have confused you I am not very good at putting my problems into words.

I am using 3dstudio max 8 and Vray

Thanks for viewing.

hey when I was learning things about lighting I ran across the problem you are having with the bright edges near the floor... I had an omni light in the center of the room that made it that way... and if I remember correctly it has to deal with the falloff of that omni.

I lowered it or raised it and it pretty much did the trick.
I hope this helps... It was a long time ago so I really don't remember

If you need to cut out the blue background in another program, save the render as a TIF and check 'Store Alpha Channel' - assuming that blue is merely the background environment color and not object based. Load the .tif in Photoshop, duplicate the layer, and insert your background image between the two. Select the channels tab. Ctrl+click the alpha thumbnail (should show white for everything except window areas). Then make go back to the layers tab, make sure you've selected the top layer (your duplicate), invert your selection and delete. You should now have a transparency on that layer where once there was blue, showing your background image.

As for the bright edges, I hope Jeremiah_Bigley's suggestions helped, since I don't have a clue about Vray.

Good luck

for the bacground problem, waht I do is save the render as a targa, and in photoshop go to selection menu and press on load selection, and it should say load alpha 1, press on that and press cntrl+j and u should have a layer with the image without the blue background
