Architectural Exterior Renderings using V-Ray 2.0 for Rhino

This is the 4th Webinar in our Visualise with V-Ray for Rhino series. The live Webinar aired on Wednesday the 15th of October 2014 and the 5th in the series, which looks at an Interior Architecture scene will follow live on the 5th of November.
In this thirty minute webinar, Phil Cook of Simply Rhino gives an overview of setting up an exterior architectural scene.
Three methods of lighting are examined starting with using the Rhino Sun which is now fully integrated into V-Ray 2.0.
Using the physical camera and choosing an appropriate GI solution will also be demonstrated and the following topics will be examined:
• Using the Rhino Sun
• Using the V-Ray Sun
• Loading the Sun system into the Environment
• Using the Dome Light and HDRI
• Controlling the V-Ray Physical Camera
• Choosing an appropriate GI solution
• Switching from V-Ray RT to the
• Production Renderer

If I'm using a Dome light, do I have to set the rhino or vray sun or I set "none" in the map of enviroment settings?

1) Make sure you are using the correct sun.
2) As per the video there is a ‘Rhino Document Sun’ and a ‘V-Ray Sun’ the latter of which uses the metaphor of the Rhino Direct Light. It is possible to use both at the same time, hence two sets of shadows.
3) If you are using the V-Ray Sun make sure you have the Rhino Sun turned off in the ‘Panels > Sun’ and in V-Ray > Options > Environment > Skylight make sure the ‘TexSun’ map being used is the correct sun. Do the same in V-Ray Options > Environment > Background.
4) If you are using the Rhino Document Sun then in V-Ray > Options > Environment > Skylight make sure the ‘TexSun’ map being used is the correct sun. Do the same in V-Ray Options > Environment > Background.
Trust this helps and glad you enjoyed the video.

ok my vray rt doesnt seem to be hooked on to rhino sun, doesnt change with time like u showed...why?

[@nadirpamuk4962]

I have the same issue. Could you help me if you figured it out? Thanks

[@federicopatino3912]

how do you add the sky in the background
Thanks

[@SimplyRhino3D]

Hi Federico, it's all explained within the video but this should help you too: Both the Rhino Document Sun and the V-Ray Sun system include the both Sun and the Sky. Once you have chosen the sun type and location you’ll need to add this to both the Skylight and Background slots respectively in the Environment rollout of the V-Ray Option Editor. Thanks.

Thanks, i did that the only difference I have that I do not have rhino documents, I have rhino something which I don not think should affect the sun settings but it comes out really washout
