**About 10 months ago, I started creating my own “8K PBR textures” for my ArchViz projects to make them available to ArchViz artists for free.** **But I just didn't have enough of them to publish them as a package. I've been working on it again for the past two months and I can say that I will soon have enough “PBR textures” to put together the first package and make them available to you.**
V-Ray is a now available for blender (in beta!)

Couple of renderings for myself that I managed to get done today. I love a dark background, while it might not be the ideal from a product selling point, to me it just adds so much depth and style. The princess cut ring I made for my auntie about 10 years ago, the other one is still in progress.. #mastoArt #jewelleryDesign #CAD #rhinoCad #vray #commissionsopen #FediGiftShop
If you set the bar too high for a project, at a certain point it can become endless. I even set up a small scene in my kitchen today and prepared a tea especially for it so that I could then distribute various drops as a reference. Only water doesn't work because water is too transparent and colorless, hence the tea. Visualizing the whole thing realistically in 3D is only easy at first glance.

I have been working on an older project for some time and it is about to be completed. I have also modeled numerous objects for this project and will be making them available for free soon. For this particular project I have created a presentation scene like this one for the individual assets that are present in this interior project. Created in 3ds Max and VRay.

Modo and Vray working it is all falling back into place, after a few years of not using it.
This is a model from 4 years back.

After a good 5 days of intensive testing and trial and error, I was able to significantly expand my knowledge of VRay and Corona and take it to the next level.

In the 2000s, I used to give lectures in working with 3ds Max and the V-Ray renderer. My students were mostly architectural visualizers.
Here I'm giving a 3ds Max + V-Ray workshop at the Dutch EUE 3D event, in a cool old bunker. 
I give myself the full material science and try, test and learn like a madman to get everything out of VRay and Corona that is possible in terms of realism.

From the archive, Moi3d Modo v-ray hand scanner concept.

Another Moi3d model from the archive 4years back:
Textured in Modo and rendered with v-ray.

When you stumble upon a script you wrote for 3ds Max + V-Ray in 2004…

A very old custom design I made years ago. Still very fond of the cathedral-like sides, been thinking of making more designs based on this. I like when pieces have distinctively separate components.

Some samples of the CAD work I have done over the years, based on customers designs.
I was reflecting on the fact that I got roughly 5000 files I have made since 2004.
I am trying to find a fresh outlook and a clearer direction with my work, the recession in the UK is biting hard and a burnout is not far off.Thankfully we got a long weekend so I can try to think about a battle plan for the months ahead.

A second set of comparisons between #Vray 5 and 6. Again some minor differences in secondary light bounces. Smaller differences this time.
Comparing #VRay 5 (first image) vs 6 (second image) on some stock Evermotion scenes. There seems to be secondary bounce lighting differences. It is quite obvious on the heating pipes on the far right, V-Ray 6 is producing a bright spot on one of the pipes.
I wonder if it i has to do with some optimizations 6 did to speed up lighting calculation or 6 did to improve accuracy.
