Sorry I have been away for a long time.

I live in France. My point of view is: If the client can pay , why not ?!!!
Of course you can keep your price low to have more work.... But I was sure this client will never call me back ( he was in the hurry and have no other choise than work with me (his ...

thanks for all the infos.
it's just bugging me to always pay for this or that to make it work (extra tools that are not included in the main package). The network support must be coded in kray and sold with kray.

Now to render on the network I have to pay again.... When you buy vray, finalrender ...

humm I tought I bought a complete package ...

Why do I need to purchase Kray.exe ?
What is main function ?
What is the price ?

thanks.

Hi

BNR 4.11 is looking for Kray.exe, where do I get it ?
Thanks

I noticed that there is small difference (exposure) when I render with limitedregion. To blend correctly the 3 parts I must render more pixel on the border to stich the 3 pics. I use a small gradient(mask) in photoshop to not see the different exposure. Do you have this problem? Maybe I have to buy ...

I use the "High defaut setup" in sampling menu
octatree at 60 .

note: when I render at 800 x 600 , it's fast. no problem with resampling.

---- edit

I found a desesperate solution:
Octatree at 30
Low antialisasing
And I split the scene in 3 pieces with limitedregion 2.
(composite in photoshop)

I ...

Hi,

I am rendering at 3508x2480. The first pass was fast ( 3 hours) but
when Kray is resampling the edge, the rendeing is very, very slow ... ( 6 hours for 15% .. ) now I am thinking to stop the rendering ( too slow I won't be rendered in time).

Do you have any adivice to speed up this process ...

Hi ,

Yes I got the job.
I sold 4 views for 4000 euros. (I received only the floor view in PDF format when I had to give a price).
Few days after, my client send me some references ( scan or jpg to show me the kind of fourniture I must create).

But I have lost a lot of time ( the client don't give ...

yes you right. I have noticed too.
But you can reduce the render time by changing the 'Blur treshold' in the Kray panel (Quality tab).
I start with 0,1 and go down until I get what I want (quality vs time).

Hi,

I didn't find any infos about carpet on the forum. Do you have some advice. to have a "volumetric" carpet

Seriously, any advice about the shader (to simulate good fibers) ?

Will Kray support diplacement ( microdisplacement) in a futur version ?

thanks
mk

thanks. I will give a try




------------------
edit:
It's not working.(gradient have no effect on reflection when it's based on distance).




Certainly a feature request for Kray team.
Fade reflection parameter (linear, exponential ; like fog)

Hi

Is it possible in Kray to reduce the reflection based on the distance?
Similar as having a fog , closer objects are reflected and far objects goes transparent, goes less visible.
thanks

Hi,

I use a white sphere for GI and a plane to have my background (a picture : trees, sky, beach).

How do you setup the background to not affect the lightning.
I have a difference with and without the background ...

Do you export a buffer wuth alpha to composite in Photoshop ?

thank you for your ...

Nice advice about the shader.
about small polygons, I am talking about Plants(some plants have small leafs ) I tought it may take a lot of time to calculate GI.

But what do mean by 'avoid full antialiasing'. What is your setup for aliasing?

Thank you, it was very helpfull

Hi guys,

I would like to know if I add plants ( leafs) to my scene. Will my render take huge time to render than without plants ?
What's the best technique to save rendertime ?

Is Kray able to handle tiny polygons, and bypass intense computing on this kind of small polygons ?


thanks
