My Vray experiments

[Antimatter]

I am learning Vray mainly on old commercial projects i am not allowed to
show here.

But i am experimenting with VRay materials and lighting on small private
scenes a littlebit that i would like to show here.

And lighting without white balance is so much fun.
And for shure relaxing after work. :)

oh i forget to attach the rendering of the tablet and sphere without
using whitebalance. Imho without wb this it is looking lifeless
and flat ...

whats the color of the white balance u choosed? blue or orange

[Antimatter]

I was using an unsaturated and bright purple / red.

I've attached another test with Zbrush .... Area and Spotlights.

Rendered in 2 passes and then some postwork on color.

This time no special shaders ... just a texture on the background.
The model is just the default 80% white.

good stuff, very nice lighting

[Neil V]

Great images. I especially like the street scene and the last one - some kind of Fallen Angel is it? Very nice.

[ilkbahar]

i love your compositions, finally an artistic approach :)
very good use of dramatic light, wide angle and back light. technically speaking they are excellent as well!

[Antimatter]

Thank you ... experimenting with light and old models is like relaxing and not time consuming. And often you discover someting useful.

@Neil V ... it was my entry to the Dominance War III challenge but i sadly had not the time to finish him. I use him often for lighting tests.

[MrElusive]

superb! On that last one though, what were your AA filter settings?
