Go purchase tab and here you go :D
Thanks a lot for sharing, I’m gonna watch it now, looks very promising
Thank you Skyrill, Hope you will enjoy :)
Paying for textures… Can’t agree with that.
I do agree in congratulating Wassim fot the amazing tutorials. Thank you. I’m looking forward for the next days.
Thank you.
hahaha, thank you very much for the compliments Thiago ^^
You can create a free member ship and get 15mb textures a day, wich is pretty well i think, because genrally textures are less than 5 Mbs, so…Hope you will enjoy other days :D
Best regards
Wassim
Actually, 15mb a day it’s not that bad, but I remember when that website was 100% free.
But I think they had a good reason to create that registration thing, cuz their textures are really good and you can download maps on different sizes. They are really good.
I use MAX 2011 and I think there is no VRay for this version yet, I think. Maybe not. But the new version of MAX has a LOT of good materials. There’s a nice Material library on it. Anyway, I think I’ll have to keep using MAX 2010.
Thank you again.
100% agree with ya :D
Actually i read somewhere that Vray SP4, works perfectly on 3ds max 2011 !
If you are a legal user, you can upgrade and get the full power of vray on max 2011 :D
It is recommended to have 8Gb of ram for 3ds 2011 to run, and i don’t have them so…;LOL
Best regards
Wassim
I find it hard to follow this tutorials explanations even tough I have worked quite a bit in vray.
I bet you know your equations but the explanations are any good, sry.
Thank you someone, actually i’m not english, so i think this would be the problem !
But thank you for watching ^^
Is there a problem with the max file?
I can’t open it.
I’m using 3d Max 9.

I have a ichy problem. After I I turn on the indirect illumination (GI) and render the scene, it turned pitch black. I dont know what is the problem, the objiect doesnt illuminate. Please help.
I may have found the issue, in the Vray global illumination>lighting>default light. I have it turn off in GI. After turning it on and rerender the scene it turn to normal. no more blackness.
