INTERIOR LIGHTING TUTORIAL_for beginners

First topic message reminder :

This was actually my WIP tutorial at Asgvis and would like to migrate here. I know this one will be very useful especially to the new ones who want to explore Vray sketchup. This tutorial was doen using vray Sketchup1 the old version. I hope I could update this as we go on.]

Here is

I am making an attempt to make a tutorial using simple image from displacement to bump, doing some complicated materials to hopefully playing on emissive lighting. I will also explore using double reflections to achieve good metals and other materials. so bear with this simple set up and materials which you can find on typical free sketchup.
typical screen scene.



im attaching the scene first here. rendered in clay style. In order to render achieve clay render you need to tick override materials in the global switches. this scene has been rendered using the default setting except using the viewport size of 958X619.


also im attaching the link for the model so you can do it together with me.

pwde po paki guide me bout this-->

"*tip2* save your Light catche, photon map or Ir map and reload them if you are experimenting with light.
once you reloaded the saved map, vray will just render your scene."

stepbystep po..di ko tlga msundan..thnks sir'

ito yan...meaning di ka na dadaan sa parsing or kung ilang pass pa kung tatlong passes ba sya or apat direct na render...ang ginagawa ko e ganito render ko muna ang scene ko sa maliit na frame resolution ex...320 x 240 para di maubos ang oras mo yan yong way ko.once na okey na at tapos na ang render.save mo ang IR and LC sa folder na madali mo tandaan..para sa next render mo same scene ha.lakihan mo na lahat pati ang mga subd and mult mo dito saka mo load ang save IR and LC mo kasi computed na ng vray ang IR and LC na load mo kaya render na lang sya makikita mo di ka na dadaan sa mahabang process nyan...try mo lang.

wOw..gling ng tricks n to sir' nkuha ko na agad..slmat ng mrami sir zdesign..kylngan lng pala ok n yun mga sett.m
bgo mo isave si IR at LC..ksi pg ngtaas ako multi.ng sun,lights..di nya na uupdate..sa materials ok sya..
Thnks....

sir panu po gumawa ng ies lights sa vray for su?is it possible po ba?kc po alam ko sa 3ds max lang possible??

possible po yung paggmit ng ies light sa vray for versions 1.48 up...
not so sure about which version...
but 1.05 don't feature ies lighting.
1.48.66 up feature ies, just don't know if older versions than that have ies feature available.

yeap meron 1.48.66 hanggang yung mga betas test releases

Sir I'm trying to do this tutorial but the blue glass doesn't appear transparent. It blocks the lights from outside. I've already copied the settings you post here. I'm using SU 8 pro and VRAY 1.48.93.. many thanks for this tutorial Sir.

check your glass material. there is something wrong definitely with your glass material. (click affect shadow, and affect alpha maybe)

Sir nkacheck naman po yung affect shadow & alpha.. I tried to change the material also with other glass and check the settings in Matl editor. Sa preview transparent naman pero when I render it ganun pa rin.. black lang meaning the lights are not coming in..

can you make a screen grab of your glass setting. or send the vismat.

Sir Nomeradona, i am a new user to vray and i have been following your tutorials but i still have problem with my interiors, my windows do not allow light to come into the room even when i place a rectangular light behind the window, How do i place a rectangular light behind the camera as you suggest. Again how do i make my window to reflect the outside environment. Using sketchup 6 and vray 1.48.89.

Again how do i make my window to reflect the outsideenvironment. Using sketchup 6 and vray 1.48.89. This is a sample scene i did.

without the setting of your glass material, i can't comment base on this. i need the vismat of your material.

anyway. you must have a refraction layer and click affect shadows, and affect alpha if you want the color of the glass too.

kung wala parin.. baka ang problema nakaoverride ang material duon sa global switches. so be sure i untick ito. kung gusto mo naman na clay render an wanted to use override material. sa bagong vray may option na pwedeng mgawa ang refraction sa clay render. all you have to do is to go to the material..then option... untick effected by override material.

Thanks for your quick response Mr. nomeradona, well i did not use a vismat material for my glass, i used a gray glass from a window component in sketchup 6. How do i apply a vismat material to my glass and what can i also do to lighten up the scene? Thanks.

read the manual.. seems to me you have not done reading the vray manual yet. its all there. m,anual can be downloaded also in this site... look at those sticky posts.

Thanks i have but with the new vray version everything seems to have change.

yeap but the additional vray version manual is also there.

"By putting another invisible Rectangular light (as fill or ambient light) with low multiplier behind the camera"

sensya na po. bago lagn ako.. pano po malalagay yung new light saan po ba nakalagay yung camera... di ko alam ko saan tamang posisyon nung invisible rectangular light na sinasabi?

thanks sir...

basta sa likod na hinid nakikita ng camera.

This was actually one my frustration before. Adding another Vray rectangular outside will help to fill lights inside the interior. I added a vrectangular light (invisible) with strenght of 500.

*tip1* you have to place the rectangular light a certain distance from the wall to avoid burnout of certain walls near the window.
*tip2* save your Light catche, photon map or Ir map and reload them if you are experimenting with light. once you reloaded the saved map, vray will just render your scene.
*tip3* use track mouse while rendering, and point your mouse to the areas you wanted to see first. if you dont like the result, jsut cancel rendering and adjust those things you wanted to do.

im using vray for su6, where can i find the sky multiplier?
thanks a lot sir.

anong version ng vray mo?

nomeradona wrote:anong version ng vray mo?

sir pno po ba icheck ung version ng vray,
ang alam ko lang is vray for su6 siya.

thanks sir.

vray 1.49.84

wow...nice tutorial... great help...thanks sir nomer...
