Vray HDRI tutorial in 3ds Max

[@Blake-ln6nn]

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO CAN DESCRIBE COMPLEXITY IN SIMPLISTIC TERMS WITHOUT A BROKEN ACCENT OR ENGLISH SKILLSET. THANK YOU VERY MUCH...THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I CARED TO LEAVE A COMMENT ON KZbin...KEEP THE TUTORIALS COMING!!!!

[@archvizcamp]

Blake Chamberlain Thank's man! I work hard on making this tutorial as simple as possible, glad to hear that it's working for you :)

[@Blake-ln6nn]

Arch Viz Camp you're doing a great job then. I've switched my workflow from sketchup to 3ds max (mental ray) to just sketchup with vray...the sketchup setup is definitely not as in depth as the vray max setup...however. it does allow for faster revisions to be made without migrating the changes each time they come...and at our studio they come so often... however after seeing your videos I will definitely dabble with 3ds max/vray...the real time engine preview is much more fluid... do you have a particular workflow from sketchup to max? check out my work... www.blakechamberlain.net like to hear your thoughts! keep the videos coming! cheers

[@7Deer7]

Anyone else knows the feeling when you find a tutorial that looks really good, you watch it through and never get the same result? :D

no its ABOUT UR SKILL

[@praneshkumar4628]

TNice tutorials is the best tutorial. Simply explained to a newbie, great job man.

[@TylerMatthewHarris]

I've got a little bit of a background in photography and I've found that an aperture of 5.6 , shutter speed of 1/sec & 1/30.0, and an ISO setting of 100.0 produces a good image and is a camera setting that you might use for the type of lighting scenario you're using.

[@cutiie1priincesa]

Hi! your video is very clear and I followed every step. I don't know why but my sky looks very dark when rendered. It worked fine earlier until now after I create a new Vray Dome Light the sky is dark no matter what HDRI I use. The rest of the scene is well lit by my Vray sun and it looks fine in the camera view.

[@mmediaculturel3738]

Omg, you explained it very simply! It's really easy to understand. Thank you so much! I've always wanted to learn these.

[@masdasdasdad]

This video is a gift from God. You don't need any other source to know everything about Vray Dome and HDRI's. I was so relieved after watching the video and i got everything i needed here. Thank you !

[@archvizcamp]

+Mustafa Fatih Belli Thank you for your words. it gives me motivation to create more stuff for you guys :)

[@rachar9586]

Thank you dear for this amazing video .. simple an direct to the point .. i first watched in 2015 . and i always recommend it to my friends ... really am thankful

[@jotsiMedia]

This was a huge help and was by far the best introduction to working with HDRI I could find. Thanks for taking the time to produce it!

[@cristinalemus551]

Excellent video. Clearly explained all the basics to get started on soft soft. Thanks

[@gary17551]

I have used two of your videos as reference for landscape architecture and find them very helpful. I really appreciate them, they are very simple and straight forward. Thanks

[@archvizcamp]

Thank's Gray, You are welcome!

[@gary17551]

Arch Viz Camp I have one request of you,,, Im not big on 3Ds so I mainly model in SU and merge the scene into max. If you can do a tutorial on best practices I would appreciate it.

[@archvizcamp]

Gary Cummings I'll be covering allot more tutorials on Vray and 3ds Max as well in the near future, so stay tuned :)

[@clapiotis]

Wow! What a great tutorial!! I spent 3 hours keeping notes and watching your tutorial again anad again in order to understand it!!! I have migrated just recentlty from Max 9 - Vray 1.5 to Max 2014 - Vray 3.0 and I am shocked by the changes

[@SuzukiMx184]

For those that are also getting a black background - Set overall multiplier to about +50 (Material editor > hdri map > Overall multiplier)

[@HappyBabySongsRhymes]

i have the same problem but now i have too much brightness in the half black background of HDRI

[@salomgaming9808]

Yo You Are A Life Saver!!!! i paid $15 for a top quality HDRI image for my scene and it kept coming up black but after tweaking the overall multiplier it worked and i want to kiss you :3

[@loisloisz]

Ayyyy Thanks for helping get to know the Software! I just downloaded it in hopes of making resetupes and originals. Props to you for

[@illusiondesigns11]

Never knew the power of using HDRI till i watched this,..thanks so much sir

[@yomenlatrack1389]

Thank you for tNice tutorials very clear and concise tutorial. Look forward to more videos from u

[@sebastianpyza2378]

Thanks for all of your tips! I've just been getting into producing myself for my artists and mannnnn. It's like science lmao. Thanks a ton!

[@terrablader]

Can you tell me why put the HDRI image in both the dome light and the environment slot? Is the environment giving light as well as the dome? Wouldn't that double up the effect? What if I wanted the background with a white color. Do I just un-check the environment? Thank you great tutorials!

[@mariaaaaaa86]

HelIo, I use vrayHDRI environment to create HDRI environment map but, viewport showing it as white color while use environment background is enabled. However the environment map is showing correctly when rendering. I’m using 3Dmax2016. Please help. Thanks.

[@rahules7893]

Send your rendering result....and see ypoour viewport

[@7evenpost]

Thanks a lot for your tutorials! They are always well made and absolutely clear even for a limited English speaker such as myself. You are doing a great job by bringing a grain of enlightenment and sharing your knowledge. Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it. I hope that this work will be continued and we'll see the new tutorials.

[@archvizcamp]

7evenpost Thanks for the kind words :) , I hope to make some more tutorial in the future

[@ArchiGraphstudio]

Hi. I am Using 3ds max 2016(Vray 3.40.01). whenI am rendering an interior scene with daylight system with mr physical sky map in environment slot. It renders and shows background map through the glass windows. But when I use hdri map image in a material editor which I instaced in envi. map slot it renders all window glass black and oes not show backround hdri image.

[@rendericeib4513]

actually you can change the burnt background inside max, theres no need to change background in photoshop, great tutorial dude

[@scatterbrainart]

Thank you for this, sir. I was trying to light my scene using GI environment in the render dialogue, and didn't realize I still needed to create a dome light. My scene looks great!

[@jaydeepkoradia6409]

Bro, i cant get the result. i followed every step but my render image and background is too dark. I placed dome light also. I use max 2018. Plz help me. Thank you. @John Petersen

[@VFXLtd]

When i just open and render your scene with VRAY renderer, everything is black. Do you know why? i have 3.00.08 vray renderer

[@KrazyNachos]

Great tutorial sir! One question though, how did you set up your viewport/camera so you can see the HDRI and its position (as you change its horizontal/vertical rotation) before rendering? Thanks a lot!

[@Muhilanjayaraman]

Watch 1:20

[@jjjames4484]

Hi from argentina!. a question, why you dont use vraySun or skylight?, sorry to ask this but it is became a maze on my head as to when use one or another way.

[@aazLP640]

Thanks a lot for the great tutorial. What if I turned the Dome Light off? Am I going to have the same results?

[@odysseystudio7093]

Great tutorials! Greetings from Mexico

[@FranciscoMarchisio]

AWESOME! I have a question, bcz about showing the background, I only have the option "show background color" and when clicking it, the backgroud appears in the color I have in the enviroment. I can´t see the picture of the HDRI. I have 3d Max 2012,. any suggestions? Thanks

[@arturcadorin95]

During the entire quarantine period, I learned how to write soft at soft soft. TNice tutorials is not to say that self-isolation is a pleasant tNice tutorialng,

[@jumtmeamjusthere]

Thanks the tutorial is really great and simple easy to learn from , i have an issue would like to ask you about when i use slandered spot light there is always a noise attached to the light in the rendering how can i get ride of it

[@EdgarFloresGuerra]

Hi! Very good tutorial. One question, what are the settings you have at the 'Gamma and LUT' for like this video? When I select the HDRI file it always seems to appear at the material editor overexposed (black/white). Thank you in advance.

[@nniiimmm]

your videos are quick and easy to understand. thank you for your effort.

[@Indonesia01ian]

Hi I want to ask If I have rendered a product in Keyshot,and then I want to create and environtment in 3DsMax does it could be done? I mean does the color that I have make still exist,or I have to remake it in 3Ds I am a new user, I want to learn step by step

[@mae2309]

Thanks for the tut. Bery well explained. But i have a question. everything is nice. I can see evetything on my viewport. But when i render i do not see the clouds?. Its just white. . Am i doing something wrong. Parameter are by default

[@pixeljunkie69]

Many good modelling and rendering tutorials coming out of mexico at the moment

[@vikitashahani1847]

Stuck on 1:44, I've tried to enable the HDR in my Viewport but its pitch black. I've followed your instructions perfectly but not sure what's wrong. Is there anyway to overcome this?

[@youngf893]

I just want to ask .Can you see the whole or the last one you've made or the Nice tutorialstory in the soft soft(20)and the softs that you have done

[@Pixie_K]

Quick question, is inverse gamma something that only exists in 2014 onwards? I have 2013 and can't find it anywhere :( I have coordinates listed in the menu instead

[@agalmero]

thank you so much! nice video and straight to the point 10/10

[@glenn3646]

very nice thx for the tut it really help me because Im a newbie in v-ray usually I use mental ray or I-ray render but I got v-ray 3.0 and I really impress with it, thx again

[@archvizcamp]

glad you like it!

[@215810]

Can you please tell me how I can get vray for free. All the tutorials are done in vray.

[@glenn3646]

Sarfaraz Khan go to CGPEERS there you can find v-ray but you need to torrent it to get it

[@idontknowWhatTosay8]

really nice video... i have one question.. how ur comp does rendering so fast..? what rendering fast, defends?

[@archvizcamp]

io sawkali kaci Thank's! Actually, my PC is not that fast, all the render times are fast forwarded when I edited the video :)

[@j_may]

This was fantastic and the best tutorial I have seen on HDRI lighting. Thank you so much for explaining this so clearly :) J

[@archvizcamp]

j may you're welcome :)

[@derickbeh241]

Very kind of u to share this info. Thanx a lot

[@Timetraveller2208]

I love this tutorial!! I'm fascinated about creating HDRI lighting after using one last year to illuminate a 3D torus knot within a photo of my garden. After posting it on FB, my friends where asking me where they could get one from ;-). Subbed..

[@neilkadu8745]

Did you change any default settings in render? Because iam not getting the same result.

[@mohammadbilal3502]

hi i have question ... when i am rendering HDRI sky is showing Black or white and ,,, i am doing same what u r doing here,,, thanks

[@sofiastamatis1031]

Hi, I have a problem. After making the render I get a black line in the background and I have tried everything but I can´t remove it. Any solution? Thanks!

[@LifeIsBlue1]

thanks for the tut, i've got some questions: did you use vray sun? and if you did, any thing should i notice?

[@archvizcamp]

I only used vray dome light with hdri

[@LifeIsBlue1]

Arch Viz Camp thank you.

[@vray4819]

at 4.17 you say "don't worry about the blown up sky we will deal with it later on." but you never mention it again. how do you deal with overblown skies when you need the extra light? or just use a vray sphere light or sun to illuminate the scene?

[@archvizcamp]

Hi, at the end of the tutorial I talked about replacing the sky image in Photoshop, using the alpha channel. So you can use the HDRI only for lighting your model, and add your sky in post production.

[@archvizcamp]

Niels van Haandel one way to deal with that, is to render your animation with an alpha channel sequence (so you will get an alpha for every frame), and use it as a mask to control the sky exposure in after effect or any other post software.

[@ArcSGiwa]

you can simply make your vray light(loaded with hdri map) invisible and load same hdri into ur environment slot( rendering>>>>environment>>>(check use map}). for good lighting control, link your vray light map to the vray light using wire parameter.

[@awaisig5876]

sir i am using 3ds 2012 and v ray 2.40 but in view port configuration my background tab is not coming... so how i view my hdri in background there is more option for viewing the background...

[@OmarRazzaz]

mate i can't find in the material/map browser the vray hdri ..can u help in this..

[@thebilgekhan]

Thank you for this nice and easy tutorial and also for the hdris.

[@nidallevine7824]

Many thank’s for your tutoril.. it’s very nice bro

[@archvizcamp]

You are welcome

[@TewodrosSGebre]

thank you. the links you provided for HDRI download are NOT fake. And thank you for sharing your know how.

[@jaydeepkoradia6409]

hello sir, i am from INDIA . I tried ur tutorial in 3ds max 2018, but i cant get result. my render image is dark. Only parts are light where the dome light is placed. Other are dark. so tell me solution.

[@jabbahot3389]

Well it turns out it works with corona same way, thx Also if you have blury image, go to views, viewport config, display perfomance, and scale viewport background\env to 4k to have nice and sharp result in active viewport

[@AJNABINASHEED]

I FACE A PROBLEM USING HDRI FROM 3DCOLLECTIVE ... THEY GIVE THE NICE LIGHTING AND SHADOWS BUT THE SKY LOOK DARK NOT MATCHING WITH THE ACTUAL ENVIRONMENT .. WHAT TO DO ? REPLACE IT THROUGH PS ???

[@nikhilschauhan]

THANK YOU SO MUCH BEFORE SEE THIS VIDEO I FOUND THAT HOW TO SET OBJECT AND HDRI SHADOW BUT NOW CLEAR MY ALL PROBLEM WHICH I FACING

[@sarlalexpo6084]

Can you please tell me how to modify the size of the HDRI? cause the objects in the scene (trees for example) looks too big. Thanks

[@siyassiyas8247]

Hi., do u know how to fix this problem because I'm also having same problems HDRI bigger than the model can u please let me know clearly please?

[@elshaimaasaid8143]

I have the same problem...did you solve it??

[@archvizcamp]

You dont need to change the hdri scale, I never do so. You can either hide the trees/houses in the hdri with objects such as 3d trees and houses or with a background plan with different panorama view with alpha mask to hide its own sky. Also you can lower the position of the hdri image inside the bitmap parameters. Make any sense? :)

[@juliarodriguez449]

witch is insightful. But u broke it down in simple man's terms. I can't wait to ss around with what you taught and see the different

[@2016rocklee]

How about Gamma and LWF settings? My test is almost black with gamma 2.2. I'm using: Area, 1/4 DMC sampler, Linear Multiply default, Mode: Color mapping and gamma. Can you help me?

[@alima34]

Awesomeoooo....concise and precise. Thank you

[@abhimanyurathore855]

I just switched to 3ds max 2014 with v ray 3.2. But I am facing problems in rendering. There is blank screen result of rendering. Please help me with render settings. PLZZZ

[@anubhavnegi4230]

how come your bg hdri image matches well with model in terms of brightness and how to correct it if it doesn't?

[@hani1332]

Hello, i have a problem with HDRI, when i render, there is a 1 window darker than another one.. how to fix this?

[@atohme_music8718]

Great tutorial, thanks ! I'm actually working on a render for the university and I'd like to have black edges around the pool too but I can't do it. Would you help me ?

[@Hlomika]

Can I ask you a question? When I place the dome light in the scene, everything goes black, I can't see anything. When I produce a render everything is fine but I'm having a really difficult time setting up the cameras etc. because I can't see anything. Any ideas how I can fix that?

[@DESTINY14329]

Change the viewport mod from realistic to shaded.

[@bsnam8134]

Video for putting your own softs on or is that possible. I can softbox so would like to up load my own softs.

[@DjordjeMiletic_3d]

ive got problem when using dome light with HDRI texture and physical camera .Render is black. when im using dome camera there is no problem, or when i use vray sun and physical camera there is no problem, so it must be some problem in the relation of physical camera and dome light? anyone helps?

[@sejalpasari6983]

I am not getting enough light through this! Is there any problen in setting?

[@borommonyphuong5278]

hello sir, i really want to know why do we have to put dome light ? what is can help?

[@godzil666]

Hi! Thx for the tut, very nice tips you gave there. But I have a question. I've notcied that you are using VRayDome light to set the scene reflections, by putting HDRI map into texture slot. But VRay dome light has resolution limit! Its not important that i'm using 4k HDRI map, cuz the VRay Dome is using 2048 as the max resolution and my reflections are blurry in higher resolution images :( Any tip how to make it better?

[@archvizcamp]

Krzysztof Pysz hmmm that's odd...2048 px works fine for my reflaction. You could try placing a sharper hdri image in the reflaction environment override slot in the vray settings. let me know if it helps

[@davidgray2805]

Well explained, Thank you. Can I use this setup for Animation by pre-passing IR and LC, would I get flickering due to the strong HDRI light bouncing off my reflections.

[@pradeepnayaka5773]

i don't have hdri image background, plz help how can i get the hdri image background

[@Otiris]

Very, very good tutorial. Thank you very much.

[@tfwasim]

Hi Arch Viz; My 3d max always crashes when trying to preview the hdri on the viewport

[@wewyllenium]

nicely done. no nonsense. thank you.

[@QwertyNPC]

Out of the box my scene is very bright and pretty unrealistic: s22.postimg.org/9tp3niztt/image.jpg I'm using vray 3.20.03 I've checked all the settings (I think) and can't find what's wrong.I'm trying to tweak various things like camera exposure and hdr gamma and intensity but the results aren't very good. Any help is greatly appreciated.

[@AnselMotivational]

when i use hdri as Environment Background, im getting a white background, any solution for this problem?

[@archvizcamp]

Rafael Ocampo sometimes its better to use one dome light to lit the scene and one dome light just for the background. Copy the light and turn off effect diffuse, specular and reflections. on the original dome light turn on "invisible". now you can control the intensity of the background without affecting the lighting of the scene

[@Frag_Limit]

Hello sir, I checked my material editor and I only have VrayGLSLMtl in my Vray panel of Material/Map browser. I have Vray 2.50.01 and 3ds Max 2014. Where can I get the HDRI option as shown in your tutorial? Please help. Thank you.

[@Frag_Limit]

Here are my list of options: imgur.com/a/bfNjr

[@archvizcamp]

+Broken Nose in the material/map browser you need to open the "Maps" tab and then "V-ray" tab. you will find "VrayHDRI" in there

[@techtipsuk]
