Lesson #1: Activating V-Ray for the first time Select renderer Save as default Setup V-Ray and V-Ray Real Time

Lesson #2: Preparing 3ds max and V-Ray to start Set properly gamma for archviz Gamma in Preferences Gamma in Color Mapping Irradiance map and Light cache combination Save presets for faster and easy settings

Lesson #3: V-Ray Sun and V-Ray Physical Camera Default V-Ray Materials for exposures Add V-Ray Sun and V-Ray Sky V-Ray Sun properties Add a V-Ray Physical Camera Shutter Speed to control exposure

Lesson #4: How V-Ray Light works White balance for V-Ray Physical Camera Adding a V-Ray Light Setting units Store With Irradiance Map option Color temperature Relation between size and intensity Create strong and diffuse shadows

Lesson #5: How V-Ray Light works Studio lighting principles Hiearchy of lights Primary, secondary and fill light The process for the professional light balance Chromatic contrast

Lesson #6: V-Ray Frame Buffer Why V-Ray Frame Baffer (VFB) is so special Color Correction Tools for overexposed areas Exposure control Curves in VFB

Lesson #7: The amazing V-Ray IES Lights What is V-Ray IES? How to assign a photometric curve Control the power Control color temperature Simulating Light Ray and source V-Ray Light Material

Lesson #8: Create basic Materials with V-Ray V-Ray Materials: fundamentals How to use Fresnel for photorealistic reflections Control reflection and refraction Create chromed metal Create plastic Create realistic glass Create colored glass Simulate brushed metals Simulate opaque plastics Simulate satin glass

Lesson #9: How to light with HDRls Learn the IBL (Image-based lighting) V-Ray Dome and HDRI file Control the power Control the rotation in the scene How to avoid giant backgrounds How to avoid splotches caused by HDRIs

Lesson #10: Understand Color Mapping What really is the Color Mapping Linear color mapping usage Exponential color mapping When use Linear and when Exponential Lose contrast, recover contrast
