we proudly announce: (VRAY for CINEMA 4D)

i am not sure.
well the LWF thing is a hype on many vray forums since quite a time now.

but to be honest i am not absolute sure about it or has maybe not full understand it yet.
i have my screens fully calibrated and leave that so.

what is for sure a good thing is to use proper colormapping to get a real world light and to compensate the 2.2 gamma of most screens. and also to have all colors and textures not to light. you can use 0.4545 for gamma p.e. colormapping in vray is different to other engines as it is no posteffect but actually changes the gi calculation and sampling.

i also always use the physical cam and photomertic lights and try to stick to real world values.

as far as i understood it there is no easy way for any LWF. and there are also quite many different types and tipps everywhere on the web…

maybe cristian, our official vrayforc4d trainer can find that out and learn to us.
(i feel a bit too stupid for understanding LFW;-)

thanks!

Is this the same for Mac users who use the correct gamma of 1.8 not the incorrect one of 2.2?

yes i guess for mac this would mean 1.8 of course.
but as said i just take this as a rough giudeline.
(0.4545 is 1/2.2 so on mac maybe 1/1.8)

Is VrayforC4D still slated for a September release? I have been moving away from C4D but Vray may very well pull me back. I’m really looking forward to Vray.

[lllab]

yes ,
sometime in september…

It would be great if we could put our heads together and get a tutorial on how to manage a Linear Float workflow in C4D. I have been meaning to delve into that for quite some time. With the current set of texture input gamma and render gamma controls we should have the necessary tools… Perhaps somebody working in film (Simon) might have a few good tips on the subject?

Here’s a 3DSMax/Vray tutorial:

as far as i’m aware unless you have a floating point image (which is always linear) then cinema assumes your textures, etc are gamma corrected already. the last time i asked philip (Mr AR at maxon) he said that any messing around with the images/textures was not necessary.

i can ask again but i always assumed that if the textures looked the same in photoshop, in the cinema viewport, in the picture viewer and then opened up in photoshop after rendering then cinema was already doing the right thing (perhaps applying a correction to the textures prior to rendering).

cheers, simon w.

edit: i should mention that not everyone thinks that timo is correct with his linear gamma workflow web-site at AIM-dtp. charles poynton who wrote the gamma faq has had several disagreements with him in the past.

thanks for the link! good idea.
i just found a thread of chris nichols over at chaosgroup.com. he wrote:

"Found this, another paper on Linear Data. But this one is related to Raw Image capture. So it is a bit different, but I think it is good to see it from a different perspective than Rendering:

*off topic question

I can’t find the image in question, but somebody posted a VRay render with grass in the foreground, it looked like it had an alpha channel and multiple layers were used.

If it sounds familiar, could you possibly tell me where I could get this image?

maybe you`re looking for this site… “VRay render with grass in the foreground”

Yes, thanks.

And this is the grass…
Can I buy this as part of a texture cd or similar?

[ooo]

I’ve seen that grass too. If I remember well it was done with displacement. Somewhere in this endless thread (soon to be published as a hard-copy book) there was some info on the making of the grass. Maybe the artist shows up here, otherwise there is some digging to do…

Hi ThePriest,

It will be included in the first volume of V[exteriors]4D with a lot of other textures and shaders.

When Vray for C4D will be released.
Currently we are working on these products that will go out in the following days to the release of the bridge.

Our goal is that to mainly create a portal like “evermotion” with resources of architecture for c4d and vray.

This is the link of our products related to Vray for C4D.

http://www.tools4d.eu/

Collections of, shaders, interiors, exteriors and videotutorial on VRAY for C4D.

C U soon with more info…

[cristiantumiati]

And this …

http://www.c4dportal.com/~renatot/V…ols4dvideo.html

http://www.c4dportal.com/~renatot/V…tools4dimg.html

Also find them in the sections examples on the site of Stefan:

http://www.vrayforc4d.com/index.html

This links will be update with new images and videos in the next days.

BYE

[ThePriest]

Screw the release, send it me now, I need TODAY

Signed

The Priest + 4 glasses of wine.

[cristiantumiati]

Sorry ThePriest but is a resources for our products…

they will be sold to the exit of vray
