[Stylez]

and now for my second attempt, I brightened one of the directional lights (hard shadows) and lowered the other (soft) and i put an omni light by the window to light up the room, but it doesnt look right to me, somethings now right...

[Stylez]

here's my 3rd try, i just changed some settings on the omni light by the window... i turned Far Attenuation on to try and control how far the light goes and checked Area Shadows on, not much better, but different

also for some reason Im getting these squares on the window, i dont know why thats happening

now we are getting serious !! hehehe,

ok, you are doing a good job and you must've already realized how much the quality of your scene has improved.

A couple of things though. You don't have to use 2 direct lights, that's pretty senseless. The sharpness or softness of the shadows are controled by the UVW size of the Vray shadows.
You should choose vray shadows for any light and then high UVW values will soften the edges whereas low values will sharpen them...

What kind of GI are you using for first and secondary bounces??

mmm don't really know good tutorials in English. The best tutorials and actually my base of knowdledge of Vray are in spanish forum...
But, in the official vray forum I've heard they have tons of excellent info on it.

lol, i really see it now how much better the renders look.

thnx for the tip about the sharpness and softness, i was tryin to figure out what the UVW values were for

oh and for the GI bounces, i guess i'm using the default settings because i just turned GI on and thats it, i didnt touch any other settings there.

oh and give me the links for the spoanish tutorials, i'll try and translate them using altavista, besides as long as i can read the parameters and settings on the tutorial i should be able to understand what theyre trying to say

oh btw, my First Bounce is Multiplier: 1 and my secondary bounce is Multiplier 0.5

well, here's another update of one of my interiors, played around with some settings - but still havent got the look i need.. but its getting there

[Stylez]

ok i've been playin around with the Vray renderer, but i have to get back to business soon, here's a test i did with the DOF (depth of field)

[Stylez]

....dif focus

[Stylez]

ok, considering this thread was origionaly a thread for my interior shots, here's another one but don't worry - i will fix this image using my new found best friend, Vray

[Stylez]

some test renderings with Vray...

[Stylez]

... dif settings

[Stylez]

and the closest look i wanted to achieve... still needs a lil bit of tweaking - thnx Gerbilho and Nico3d for your help, i think i have come a long way since the beginning of this forum
