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

[@praneshkumar4628]

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

[@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 :)

[@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!

[@mmediaculturel3738]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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 :)

[@yomenlatrack1389]

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

[@odysseystudio7093]

Great tutorials! Greetings from Mexico

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@illusiondesigns11]

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

[@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,

[@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.

[@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!

[@nidallevine7824]

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

[@archvizcamp]

You are welcome

[@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..

[@TewodrosSGebre]

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

[@alima34]

Awesomeoooo....concise and precise. Thank you

[@aryaandiirawanirawan1726]

Thanks ArcNice tutoriale! If you ever have a question, just write a comnt and I’ll try my best to help. Also consider joining my free community

[@derickbeh241]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@rendericeib4513]

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

[@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

[@nniiimmm]

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

[@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?

[@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 :)

[@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

[@jhenfervalderramadaga1090]

Interesante , no tendra para mental ray? gracias

[@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!

[@jayeee9]

Wonderful ! ! Would u please share your CPU configuration in this tutorial ? Please ! !

[@annylovey]

really easy thank you....but my hdri image is way too big. what to do Arch Viz Camp ?

[@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 :)

[@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

[@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

[@agalmero]

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

[@ErenYeager-v7r]

tNice tutorials tutorial was very satisfying

[@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

[@Otiris]

Very, very good tutorial. Thank you very much.

[@1DaytoDay-089]

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.

[@neilkadu8745]

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

[@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.

[@cetruonghai]

Please show me how to change random colors for all default materials like yours...Thanks very much...for best ever seen tutorial...3ds max...

Incredible tutorial! Thank you

[@robertadiego4905]

great tutorial, can you tell me the hardware requirement of your pc?!

[@azasarhang5420]

Hi Arch Viz Camp thanks for you tutorial, but can you tell me more about your render setups? somehow my renders turn black only...

[@terrablader]

So clearly explained ! thanks

[@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.

[@CK-xl5jm]

very good tut - thank you! I wonder how you did the pool though.

[@archvizcamp]

CG Chris Thank's ! I'll make a tutorial about that in the future.

[@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

[@lopaghosh13]

Nice tutorial , well explained

[@mariopozuelos2063]

Excelente tutorial, a mi si me funciono amigo, sin tanto parloteo y directo al grano.

[@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

[@thebilgekhan]

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

[@aazLP640]

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

[@DontaiRodriguez-3d-design]

THANKS A LOT, Arch Viz Camp

[@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?

[@abnormalindian]

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! You have simplified my life so much!!! THANK YOU!

[@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

[@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

[@elguillo77e]

hello can you tell me what kind of computer do you have? tanks

[@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

[@bchen1226]

Great Image, but why would you use a background environment map + a Dome light? Don't they produce the same effect?

[@archvizcamp]

Brian Chen In this video I used the map in the environment slot just so I could see the sun direction in the viewport. I turn the environment off on the final render.

[@bchen1226]

ah i see, thanks for the clarification.

[@Blake-ln6nn]

Arch Viz Camp does this rotation of the environment then also control the rotation of the dome? im using vray for sketchup and the two are completely independent...of course I cant a background HDRI environment preview without using the REALTIME render engine to preview sun properties... I have a related question... I mapped an HDRI dome light and the render is beautiful. worked great...however...the dark horizon line across the glass frustrates me...is there a way to eliminate this? I feel like I should just be able to lower the vertical position of the HDRI...I tried making it a 'spherical' dome light, mirroring the horizontal. nothing... this may be hard to answer seeing as how im using Sketchup but VRAY for sketchup and 3ds max are pretty much the same...I find SU to be a watered down version of VRAY for 3dsmax... any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@VAGR4NT-]

Blake Chamberlain yes the dome light also rotates because you are rotating the original map itself under it's options. not the environment. and your second question regarding the dark line is something that also frustrates me. I have no clue how to move the map vertically. under dome modifier you can scroll down and click full sphere dome something like that and it will render the full image without creating the dark bottom portion. but then you might see grass or trees in say a city like chicago. What I do is I just try to use a different HDRI and some will not show that dark horizontal based on my perspective.

[@juanmilanese]

Blake Chamberlain Blake Chamberlain yeah, full sphere mapping in the vray light dome options. Also the other day I foud that the vray hdri map (not the common 3DS max one) has an option that goes something like "project ground plane" it produced some weird floor in my project but maybe is that what you're needing for your project. sry for english.

[@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.

[@ULZIMAKUM]

so simple... Great.. Thanx a lot!!

[@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

[@glox023]

Great Tutorial, liked the video but i do have one question.Whenever i check ''use environment background'' HDRI displays as pure white in viewport, no matter what values i change, it stays the same.solution you gave to Rafael didn't help, still pure white.NOTE:ONLY IN VIEWPORT!when i render it's normal

[@archvizcamp]

glox023 Did you copy the HDRI to the environment slot as an "instance" and then reduced the "overall mult" in the material editor?

[@glox023]

Arch Viz Camp Yeah i did that, but it's still white, it's like it can't display anything but that, like it's not down to settings, but Max takes it as a solid white.I will try tomorrow again

[@masdasdasdad]

glox023 You should change "mapping type" .

[@Simuleta]

Nice video. :-) But can you explain how to make depth of field by using physical camera?

[@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? :)

[@AdelMalik101]

Those having no background issue.. change the Render multiplier to 50 in the Processing rollout of the instanced material map.. to get the hdri randered as background.. no PS needed to add it later

[@andresantos-dy2wv]

Very tut!!!! but I can not find the color space to change the gamma hdr
