Work in Progress

nice stuff, coming at a time when most members of the forum are hibernating.i guess we should just post anything we have to keep the thread rolling,

I use max 2009 also and i got mine from thepiratebay.org

available,

the first is nice but i think u can still rev up the second one a bit with some lighting,

where s the car now.i ll like to pay 1.6 ASAP

dumb question,if u dont have ur bath with ur wife who else would u bath with.I ve done it with over 7 girls so why cant i do it with my wife?

chessguru:
@ Tushbobo common Behind that piece , Arbiter!! How far? NBL is next weekend o 23rd to 28 th august. hope you are coming, no worry i will try as much as possible to always update everybody on hypernigeria, imagine a whole board dedicated to chess, soon we will be publishing and analysing games of Nigerian players all over the world remember we are still searching for the first Nigerian GM!! we also intend to start the HYPERNIGERIA chess tournament soon. Behind baba, jadube!!

That was some funny stuff.I try to be in lag for NBL.Work is just getting in my way, enjoy

My default geometry is on auto but my renders are always quite fast.
She2 i think u should try to understand these settings.There are so many things that could affect rendering speed in vray(materials,lighting settings and general settings).Go to spot3d.com,give your self 2 days and try to understand the importance of some of the settings.For instance if u have a lot of glass in ur model,using the default exit colour of 5 for reflection and refraction will make the rendering slower but using an exit colour of 1 or 2(which is what u actually need for exterior and even interior scenes,except for close up shots)will speed up rendering.Ur lighting subdivs,noise settings,global subdivs,the type of GI engine u use for secondary bounces can greatly affect render times.

still available,

Why do we keep putting this sort of garbage on the front page.Maybe the poster was still a toddler when IBB ruled and cannot appreciate the damage he did to the nation.

What sort of post is this(it s meaningless and should not be on the front page),

Why cant these people complain when a white man kneels down to propose to his fiancee.

Why cant they complain when the same yoruba man bares it all and postrate before the bride's family.

If u dont like a particular culture then stay out of it, Women want all the love they can get from men but cant give their spouses the desired respect not understanding that same is the backbone of marriage.This is something couples should smile about and not get worked up with as in the poster's case.This sort of thing comes up due to ignorance or when there s no genuine love either between families or the couples themselves.

my vray wants to take 278 hrs to render a chair in a studio white background all modeled by me. . . wtf? ? ? i then decided to make my render faster, saw these guy's settings on how to render fast, he used 8mins to render sm'in, i tried the exact same drawing cos i downloaded it,  . . i tried it and mine is gona take 6hrs. . . any1 here with help. . . vray dey craze o o o. . .

Why dont u try to clean up your system,do a proper scan(may be a virus is eating up your RAM or something) u can also decongest your system by uninstalling unused programs.Go to brothersoft.com and download ccleaner run it to delete temporary files and other files which might slow down your system.My system is  3.48 gig ram but renders fast.

@Behind i use max 8, standalone version, will it work, he is a model i did recently but render with default mental ray, i just love the realistic touch vray gives model, i dnt do buildings but i hope to blow ma models with vray,

The vray version i have can only run on max 2009.Go to thepiratebay.org(or related sites) to download vray.But i ll prefer u install max 2009 or 2010 to enable u install more recent versions of vray.

U can render the background in vray too.if u want to put it on a background image in photoshop save the image in targa format.But the thing is it might not really match due to possible differences in the camera angles and the picture scales.just learn photoshop basics and do it urself.its quite straight forward.which plugin did u use.by the way i visited the vray grass plugin website and it was requesting for payment before downloading.is it not free?

I got some free hdri from http://www.hdrmill.com/freebies.htm
There are free hdr images on thepiratebay.org but the problem is with downloading because the files come in large size(800mb-3gb)

follow this link http://hypernigeria.com/index.php?topic=143.0
I saw something like the competition was on saturday.check it out n ask people on the forum or something.i m in ph presently n have limited access to some of these info.

yea,u have "friends of chess" and one other competition in which holds every month with the venue in unilag.I know some chess clubs in surulere but cant remember the addresses unless i do some check.But i m sure u ll get more than enough links if u can attend the tournament which holds in unilag,i think it should have almost started by now.

U might not really notice the vignetting effect on the above images but the one below shows an exaggerated vignette.(camera white balance is custom-light blue).
vignetting is off in the first image
vignetting is set to 2.5 in the second

Tutorial continuation:

The effect of using the vray sky in the vray environment rollout is seen below.
U can also use hdri maps for your reflection slots


The first image has the vray sky map unchecked(camera white balance is daylight)

The second has the vray sky map checked with vignetting unchecked(camera white balance is daylight).The image looks a bit burnt out,u can reduce the sun intensity and the sky output map.Instead of this u can also use vignetting(and other exposure controls like f number n film speed) to make the camera reduce the amount of light it receives there by reducing the image brightness.

The third image has vignetting checked @1.3(camera white balance is daylight)

Any wise person knows that no society is perfect.The west is only trying to discredit the efforts of the oil sheiks.If the sheik al makthoum(and his family) had embezzled all the money used to develop dubai,these same people would have still cried out.
I have been to dubai and can boldly say i prefer such a situation(it s not as bad as the story goes) to what obtains in my beloved country where only politicians enjoy the country's wealth.Every modern infrastructure u can think of is in dubai,all u have to do is to earn a living to live a comfortable life.Wealth distribution in dubai is even better than what obtains in the uk so what are these people talking about.

I dont have a fide rating but have a rating of 1804 on http://www.gamecolony.com/chess_2.shtml.
Other rating exams i ve taking on other chess programs give me about 1850.I know i ll do well if i m really competitive but i take chess as a leisure game.There s not much chess activity in ph where i currently reside unlike what obtains in lagos.

Just know u cant learn everything in at the same time.take it in strides and take only neccessary tutorials.u dont need to learn everything in the tutorials.do more of practice then refer to tutorials when u get stuck.I ve been using max for 5 years but i m still learning,

Just finish up with the max tutorials and learn vray later.Theres still a limit to what u can achieve with basic max

Thanks man

After the final rendering,I achieve these images.
The effect of the camera settings can be seen on these images,
The first image is bluish in tint because white balance for the camera setting is neutral(white)
The second image is yellow-orange(looks more realistic) because the white balance is daylight(blue)
Hence,a yellowish white balance will give a bluish image while a bluish white balance will give u a yellowish image.
U can strike a balance-may be use a very light blue white balance if u want a balanced image.

continuation

It ll be better to understand how vray works and not just how to set up renders.This way u ll be able to optimise ur system by rendering good images faster.

Lighting:

Go on line to learn more on lighting and general settings but due to lack of time this briefly explains exterior lighting

5p1naz i think u should just googe hdri torrents,i remember i got it from one of the sites-just checked but having a hard time locating it.the files are quite large and i remember i was nt able to finish downloading.

@ aseye u can also try http://thepiratebay.org u should be able to download from there.I can send u mine but i dont think we use the same version of max.

5p 1naz, simple and nice.ur works show a good understanding of vray
