render engines in houdini - Vray intro

[@Onyro]

Thank you so much for this, i have been using vray for about 8 months now in houdini, but still I learnt some bits from this video! THANK YOU! I would love it if you do cover more in the future as vray is all i use. many thanks again!

[@Noah-qd4ts]

I love your vids, so informative! please make more vray tutorials

[@alexanderkovalev1214]

Thank you for the tutorial Rohan, it is awesome! Btw you could turn on history in vray frame buffer settings and specify folder to save files, after that history will work.

[@rohandalvi]

Oh cool, I was just lost why it wasn't working

[@atefezare5623]

when you press ctrl+s on the render view it gives you some settings. you can find and activate history settings from there. also you have to specify a path for it to work.

[@leonardopinheiro6693]

Very good!
Thank you.

[@vfxskull6208]

thank you!

[@niczoom]

Great video! VRay looks to be a solid render vs Redshift now.

[@paoloricaldone6273]

Excellent series

[@mehyarzarathoustra3604]

thanks Rohan for this tutorial .. but can you do a Tutorial for ''Vray_Volume_Grid'' and how to render Flame and Smoke in houdini with Vray 5 ?

[@aliamirian15]

[@TheMarkko30]

[@tamaraarnaudovska5804]

Hi Rohan, how can the curvature node be used in Houdini 19? They made some changes regarding this node.

[@DanialJang-y2y]

thank you so much bro

[@3dwithsb]

hii there i have a question how can i apply shadow catcher in vray

[@yahyasyed9332]

The Vray history will work only when you go into frame buffer settings and show the path for the history frames to be stored.

[@Soluna_y2k]

Love this video!! Could you maybe make a video about how to render fire, smoke and water with VRay in Houdini? I´m still a beginner and I´m somehow having a hard time rendering that with VRay :(

[@rohandalvi]

I’ll do volumes in the next set of videos.

[@Soluna_y2k]

@@rohandalvi Thank you so much! Hope you´re doing well btw! :)

[@asdf_tmk]

Hi Rohan, I have a question about VRay layered textures. I am trying to displace with a map and add noise. Are you able to answer these questions?

[@tamaraarnaudovska5804]

Hi Rohan great tutorial. Do you maybe know how to render only the light source as an image, but not as a channel(render element) but as image info? Thanks

[@Renat.K]

Thanx as usual!
Question: I have attribute on my primitives (for random pictures on copies), and I see it in viewport, but I can't render it, node User Color not working ((( Help me to solve it please.

[@rohandalvi]

You might need to promote the attribute to vertex or point.

[@gamedev251]

so which one is the best? and which one is the lightest?

[@shashanknikku3917]

I came for 3ds max background and I completely used vray , and when I started using Houdini mantra is too slow when we give environment like . So I decided to shift from mantra which render should I prefer vray or Arnold .

[@shashanknikku3917]

I found difficult like , in mantra if we add a light and we can directly render , but in Arnold we need to add Arnold shader to work with lights

[@rohandalvi]

Vray would be a good option. It's better integrated than Arnold

[@shashanknikku3917]

@@rohandalvi thanks for the reply sir and I have better cpu than gpu , even tho vray will be better na sir

[@cgzero7]

This is awesome Rohan! Are you going to do Arnold too? I'm super curious about that (as a Redshift user).

[@rohandalvi]

Yes, Arnold, 3delight and octane

[@ahmedaborady7883]

Please update for vray 6 the new features

[@mountainsxcompany8093]
