Some useful tips to get the best result from your rendering with V-ray

It is very challenging task for all the artists to provide a perfect realistic look in their 3d scenes. In this regard V-ray can be handy tool to arrange scenes & render them perfectly as well as particularly resolve and polish up the images. V-Ray 3.0 is the most improved version that contains a wide array of new toolset useful for augmenting your workflow speed as well as making the rendering quality better.

The renowned digital artist Vinnie LaCour has presented some useful tips focusing on some of the advanced features of V-ray 3.0

Latest UI synopsis: With V-Ray Quick Settings dialog, the users can avail their desirable render settings and these can be used in new scenes for having quick views effortlessly.

This dialog provides the users some fundamental settings to start with. There is a setting button with some options through which the users can get the render settings dialogue directly where the users can adjust some of the advanced controls. There also exist Basic, Advanced and Expert modes in the UI interface.

Scene Arrangement: Provide a little lights and a ground plane, and apply VRaySunlight and VRayDomeLight. For experimentation of lighting, one can include a V-Ray material to the supersede material slot and keep out glass objects.

Progressive rendering facilitates the users to envisage their renders swiftly devoid of retarding for a final frame. The users will be able to have a instant preview of their scene and they don’t require to switch renders or modify settings. The Progressive rollout exists directly under the image sampler rollout and it includes the lowest amount and highest samples and maximum render time.

Final Amendments: V-Ray frame buffer is also significantly improved. There are new inclusions to the color correction and these are very useful to check color modifications as well as adjust independent materials devoid of re-rendering the whole image through the new Render Mask feature.

Opt for the Image Sampler rollout (V-Ray>Render Settings), change the Render Mask dropdown to Selected and pick the objects the users will prefer to tweak. Make some modifications to the materials used to those objects and re-render.

Computer Aided Design (CAD) programme for the 3D Printing

The computer aided designs (CAD) software program enables a designer to shape their models. One of the best among is TinkerCAD. This is probably most easy and powerful program. The essence of TinkerCAD is using basic shapes as building blocks to piece together and form designs with. TinkerCAD is compatible with all 3D printers that use the standard STL file format, and it also lets you easily export the files you’ve created to an external program or device if you’d like to work on it further and produce something a bit more complex. Best of all, it’s completely free.

Another useful program is AutoDesk123D. It is a family of apps that let you to make CAD’s in different categories and in various different ways. It works in different ways. 123D Catch is an amazing program that generate 3D model from photo. But if you want to design animals and strange creatures for animation, then the use of 123D creature is must. For designing electronic circuits CAD, 123D Circut is important. 123D Design is for basic design creation and 123D Make create unique 3D models from 2D slice.

In this respect, we need to discuss what SketchUp is. Invented in year 2000, the beginner-friendly Computer Assisted Design (CAD) software was operated independently, later was owned by Google (2006-2012) and currently is in the possession of Trimble Navigation -- a mapping, surveying, and navigation equipment company. The company provides a freeware version, called SketchUp Make. It also has a paid version with additional functionality, SketchUp Pro, which is available. The free version is easily downloadable from internet. So, the designer can use it freely and easily.

In this respect, FreeCAD needs to be discussed. If the designer have had a bit of experience with CAD then FreeCAD could be good for them. If not, you may find it a bit complicated. The site claims no previous CAD experience is necessary but compared to TinkerCAD, AutoDesk 123D and SketchUp it is fairly more complex.
