Vray Sun Best Setting :)

[missmie]

hi, i'm new in 3D max n i'm now trying to understand a bit about lighting. currently, i'm practicing doing an interior lighting using vray sun.

I'd like to know:

 

1. The best place to put the vray sun.

2. The best setting for vray sun (the multiplier options etc.)

3. Is there a difference between setting the vray for outdoor n indoor?

4. if i projected the vray sun towards the window, do i have to make the window glass? because i found that the light is TOO bright when there's no window glass..

 

here's the pict..(disaster......)

hope u can help....

 

 

 

 

the main issue is the shadow of the vray light is way too bright..uhukkk..i feel like crying now..

 

pls, help

 

thank u

Are you using vray exposure control?

 

Multiplier typically can be set to 1 on the sun and you adjust your exposure like you would in the real world using a camera.

ohh..ok..i don't know why, but i need to decrease the multiplier to 0.002 or something like that..perhaps, because i'm not using vraycam..

If using standard cameras, enable vray exposure control (hit .

 

Or do exactly the same thing within the vray physical camera (enable the exposure checkbox). The vray can will override any settings in the environment dialogue.

 

Exposure for daylight could be:

 

Aperture f8

Shutter 1/300th second

ISO 100

 

Adjust shutter speed (a lot) for interiors until you can see your scene correctly.
