This is the story of Najith, a beginner producing great images! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

He was inspired by this render (made from a V-Ray expert!)<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0and modeled it from zero. But\u00c2\u00a0Najith\u00c2\u00a0is a V-Ray beginner and this was the render “BEFORE<\/strong>” my trainings:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How to improve it?<\/h2>\n

Only 15 days ago Najith \u00c2\u00a0started studying on\u00c2\u00a0CG BLOG PREMIUM<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0: at first “10 lessons to start<\/a>“\u00c2\u00a0(to start correctly with V-Ray, test, final and gamma settings)\u00c2\u00a0and the training “MINIMAL EXTERIOR<\/a>“. I want to share with you some suggestions I gave him about Shot<\/strong>, Materials<\/strong> and Sky <\/strong>to improve his render.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(1) SHOT<\/strong><\/p>\n

The shot was not so bad, but we can improve the “3d perception” with simple adjustments:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The camera was placed 2,5 meters from the ground >> Place the camera 1,5 meters from the ground. This create a more immersive rapresentation that increase the realism.<\/li>\n
  2. \u00c2\u00a0Camera focal lenght = 45mm >> Use lower focal lenght (30mm) to emphasize\u00c2\u00a0the perspective. Also move your camera on the right to show more right-side of the building.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Click on the\u00c2\u00a0image below to verify how these simple suggestions can improve the shot:<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    (2) MATERIALS<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Creating basic V-Ray materials is very simple! In our course we have the lesson#8 and also a specific area for common settigs: V-Ray Educational Material. Basic reflecions are good, anyway in some cases it’s better apply a MAP to avoid uniform(=flat) reflections.<\/p>\n

    Look at this esplicit examples:<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Najith applied maps to the exterior wood.
    \nTo know more read my post: “    Improve your renders with reflection maps<\/a>”<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    (3) SKY<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Sometimes poeple use the first “sky background” they found on google images: wrong! The sky is a really important element in the image and we need to find the perfect sky for our render. In this case the sky was not particulary interesting, with no “personality”:<\/p>\n

    \"sky1\"<\/p>\n

    A good sky can incredibly improve all the image! Now look this sky below.
    \nClean, with some nice cloud.. and especially with “personality”:<\/p>\n

    \"sky2\"<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Najith’s render… “after”.<\/h2>\n

    In 15 days Najith studied and applied my little suggestions. After a little work with photoshop this is the result:<\/p>\n

    \"najith2-icon\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    \"feedback\"<\/p>\n

    IS NAJITH AN EXPERT?<\/h2>\n

    Be expert means having experience and he just started with V-Ray.
    \nThe point is that you don’t need to be “expert” to produce great images<\/strong><\/span>. The experience will you get better and better, but everyone – with reliable, simple and right information can produce outstading works.<\/p>\n

    The goal of my trainings is\u00c2\u00a0making people aware what they do with V-Ray.
    \n<\/strong>To achieve this result I follow my simple 5SRW method: “5-Step Render Workflow”.<\/p>\n
