Step 2: Lighting and more
2.1 – BASIC LIGHTING WITH HDRI
This scene does not have complex lighting, but the important thing in this case is to create nice and catching reflections. This is because we have a metallic object. The easiest way to create a good global lighting with nice reflections is an Hdri map…

NAILS STEP2—FINAL links eror
Thank you for your report!
FIXED!! 🙂
Hey! and thanks for another great tutorial!:)
I just have a problem with sRGB, its a button at the bottom of the renderview, when its not turned on it looks good, and turn on..not so good, but when I save the file as TIFF it always turns out as if the sRGB butten is turned on? What to do? hope you understand my bad explenation;)
Hi Roger,
did you followed this lesson: https://www.cg-blog.com/index.php/v-ray-for-beginners/lesson-2 ? Don’t forget to use V-Ray Frame buffer, don’t forget 2,2 in color mapping / gamma… don’t use sRGB button. This lesson is FUNDAMENTALS to work with my workflow. Let me know if something is not clear! 😉
I figured it out! Now it works perfect, thanks!:-)
U gave a Question about hte Glossiness, if I Render the final file of the Nails i have at the glssoiness artefacts like bad antialaising. Here check the link pls http://www10.pic-upload.de/18.04.12/3ljpixp9j955.jpg
How can i fix that?
Hi Stefan, this artifact is not for glossy: is related to the overexposure/antialiasing. If you reduce the exposure in V-Ray Frame Buffer (you can do this after render) you’ll see the artifact disappearing. In this case don’t care for this because in the next lesson we’ll apply maps to reflect. (I’ll talk in future about this)
Thank you so much Ciro
