Final Render / Step4
After completing all V-Ray materials, let’s setup the render to get a clean image with our settings we already know:
- Antialiasing: Adaptive DMC (1-40 min/max)
- Irradiance Map: HIGH
- Light Cache: 1500 (Raytrace threshold – ON)
- Noise threshold: 0,005
90% these parameters are fine to product a clean result. If in your scene these settings are not good enough, just incresase the specific SUBDIVS who produce grainy or splotches. Here the render with these settings:
In this video I’ll show you how to create a new shot with dof effect:
CONCEPTS:
- Add a V-Ray physical camera in central perspective;
- Increase focal lenght to zoom in and reduce the dept of field;
- To render the dof effect start enabling “depht of field†among the V-Ray Camera options;
- Create a strong dof effect reducing f number;
- Compensate the incoming light with shutter speed;
- Reduce noise threshold from 0,01 to 0,005 to improve all the image.
 STRANGE WHITE PIXELS
Have you ever renderd these strange white pixels? It could be the sun (solar disk) reflection!
You can solve it enabling invisible in the V-Ray Sun Parameters. Another way to solve it is enabling sub-map pixel and clampoutput, in Color mapping rollout.
Color Correction / Step 5
In this video I’ll show you how to balance the white with 1 point:
CONCEPTS:
- White balance means detect and eliminate dominant colors;
- If the white is correctly balanced the R,G and B have the same value;
- White balance using just 1 point: the middle gray;
- Place a sample by holding SHIFT key;
- Use curves to get the same value in every channel;
- Use unSharp mask (1pixel) to improve sharpness;
- Use the mask to reveal or hide the effect.

Open in photoshop the Final Render and balance the white using 1 point, as showed in the video

good job
Excellent job man… keep it up… Good Luck !
Hey Ciro AMAZING job!!! I love your trainings because you explain me “WHY”… you’re are the only one doing this way. Keep it up.
Great job, thanks a lot ! But I think you inverted the both videos and of course the title with its. 🙂
Thank you jerome!! Fixed 😉
I can’t wait for the next training! Thank you.. i’m learning a lot 🙂
Thanks Ciro. Great video.
I am really lokning forward to your next video already. It is like Christmas just waiting for the presents…:-)
Hope you will show some more videos with more tricks for color correct images and doing postwork.
Martin.
Really good lesson, I found the final step (post production) especially helpful !! Good lesson Ciro as always !!
Just a Quick question.
When color correcting is there an order in which you do the different colorcorrection. (Some rules or so)
Step 1: adjust exposure, brightness etc.
Step 2: adjust color curves.
Step 3: vignette
Step 4: otter things
It would be nice to know in which order it is best to do your post..
Hi Martin,
Basically your workflow is correct.. just keep in mind to leave sharpness as last step (unsharp mask > 1 pixel).
Actually in this image I made a workflow like that. Think about:
1) exposure was perfectioned in vray
2) color curves was the correction for the 3 channels
3) vignette (in my opinion vignette was not good for this so bright image, but it’s just my taste)
4) sharpness: unsharp mask 1 pixel
🙂
Thank you so much! I’m very interesting in your lessons, it help me so much. I’ve learn a lot .
as always excellent lesson super like it..am waiting for the next. your the man.. ahehe
Ciro – your work has helped me tremendously since i began your course!
I cant thank you enough!!!!
Grazie tanto amico!
thnx Ciro!!!!
nice lesson…….
Dear Ciro Sannino,
How can i export the vray max file to fbx format.
Thank you,
vijay
Hi Vijay,
did you tried EXPORT, from the menu “file”?
Dear Ciro Sannino,
your tutorials really helpful for me.
Thank you,
Regards,
Vijay
can´t download the files!

Thanx Ciro, you know how to get the full of photoshop, and no maters if it’s render or an image, it very useful tip.
