first try on vray

[mynmonic]

i installed vray 1.5 demo and follow the steps of some tutorial to do the test. i'm told to open the first / second bounces in indirect illumination, set the G.I. engine to adaptive qmc, but in my rollouts there is no adaptive qmc for me to choose, there is only Irradiance map / photon mapping / light cache for me. is it because i'm using demo so no qmc for me?

 

on the other hand, probably because the version problem, for the image sampling rollout i got adaptive DMC instead of adaptive QMC. does it make any different in the GI engine options?

You're using the 1.5 demo? What version is being used in the tutorial?

[mynmonic]

sorry for the late reply, the version they use in tutorial is 1.47

[Cad64]

Well, I don't use Vray, but it's possible that the options available in version 1.47 are not available in 1.5, or maybe they have been moved or renamed.

I've used both and I don't really see any major differences in render quality in one or the other. Yes Vray is a bit more user friendly, but they both get the job done and can produce extremely high quality renders. I stick with Mental Ray though because it ships with Max, so I don't have to pay extra for Vray.

 

in this post reply u said u've used both.

Yes, I have used both, but I haven't used Vray in a very long time. I use Mental Ray for all of my render jobs, which I also stated in that post.
