This course is designed for users with at least 12 months of production experience in V-Ray. Beginning with an in-depth look at the power of Linear and Physical Workflows, the instructor walks through the entire process of setting up an image using physically-based colors, materials, lighting, and cameras. This includes a study of how to accurately measure rendered results and troubleshoot using Render Elements and 32 bit Compositing.

Using several production scenes the instructor demonstrates how to address some of the common challenges such as optimizing speed, detail, and noise as well how to work with large, complex scenes. Many advanced VRay features are explored including, Ambient Occlusion, VRayPhysical Camera, VRayLightMtl, VRayIES, and Image Based Lighting using HDRI and VHDRI.

The instructor demonstrates exterior and interior lighting techniques used by major production houses and dissects award winning scenes to illustrate how to bring projects to life. The course ends with a look at using VRay RT in production, GI Techniques for Animation, and a few other tips and tricks to maximize speed and efficiency.

	A Principal with Neoscape (www.neoscape.com), Lon Grohs leads the studio’s visualization teams, constantly pushing technological, creative, and artistic limits to achieve the most beautiful and impactful imagery possible. He is responsible for shaping each project’s vision, carefully maintaining the delicate balance between art, messaging, and tangible effectiveness of the solution… [ Read Bio ]
