I use billboards wider than the window(s) and slam them right up to it, as noted sometimes with decks they are on separate layer. In any case never have seams to deal with. Would breaking it be slower-dunno.

What about sunlight? It blocks the light coming through the window. Do you illuminate the "billbord" at all?

Please help

Hello, so my search landed me here. I've spent most of the morning researching  how the pros are fooling me on perfect renders. I've resorted to using only physically based final images because of time and quality vs waiting.

#1.  I can't seem to figure out why it takes my design 20 minutes to do 3 passes on a simple modern kitchen, only to find out it's too bright or etc.... (Please help!) I've tried everything.

#2. I'm seeing that the magic comes from exporting a plan to V-Ray? Is this correct? 

#3.  I looked into TurboSquid.com to get furniture pieces. Not sure yet if this is possible. 3D warehouse seems limited and unrealistic quality compared.

I was wondering how do your renderings happen so quickly. 10 passes, even 30 passes takes a long time! For raytraces,

1. What is your W x H x resolution set at? 

2. Ambient Lighting ?(Uniform or Ambient occlusion)

3. Direct Sunlight? Enabled?

Ok. If I need something I can send you an image & dimensions?

Hello, No matter what I do the sunlight is either too bright or not enuf(5 - 1000). The added lights & mini cans are set to 20. Any shine or reflection is just lost due to over or under lighting. I seriously spend most of my time fighting with lights... I've tried adjusting camera settings, lighting colors, eliminating a background for window views... Always frustrated with this. Please help!

Does anyone have a file they could send me to help me understand what others charge for their services? I understand that it is based on experience, type of services, & location. I do mostly renderings/physically based images of remodeling projects with a touch of Photoshop. Any literature is hand fed by my contractor to plug into layouts for permits.

Any input would be appreciated!

What is your cost?

Hello,

I guess it's time to ask this question because I cannot figure out why the program does this. Plants in the background show to be in front of foreground trees. I cannot seem to bring the trees forward and push the plants to a lower layer. Almost as if the trees are transparent. If anyone has this answer it would be much appreciated thank you.

Hello everyone, this is my first post. I am having an issue with exporting my raytraces. It takes my computer a long time to produce a large high quality image, only to "export picture" as a .jpg and have it become blurry!

The only way I see to save the clear raytrace is send it to a layout page. How can I save the image to a file without reducing the pixels?

 My output setting are set at:

1500W x 725H at 150 Resolution

-> "Use camera settings

-> "Use ambient occlusion

-> Direct sun 1.0

-> Use photon map

-> no tone map

Im following your thread. Ive been struggling with the same problems...its all in the lighting

Im having the same problem. I love the look of simple basically "standard" interior cabinet lighting, but achieving it seems to be an impossibility. Any luck yet? Im stumped. Ive tried everything.
