One of the most confusing things about rendering is keeping a linear workflow throughout the process. I think the concept of linear color is fairly straight forward, but perhaps the confusion lies in individual application’s integration and implementation of linear color workflow.
The purpose of this setup is speed, and you need it in order to move faster towards the final image. Here’s a video tutorial that will explain how to work with Linear rendering method for ExteriorsAlexander Vasiliuk -vrayart.com
V-Ray certainly handles Linear workflows without too much trouble in comparison to mental ray, in Maya especially. On that topic, VrayGuide’s Alexander Vasiliuk takes a look at lighting and rendering setups an exterior scene while keeping the process in a linear workflow.
Alexander is using 3ds Max in this demonstration, and for the most part, V-Ray is V-Ray regardless of the host it is in. So a lot of the features and techniques will be the same, although there are a few max-specific things here.
The Scene can be downloaded for free at VrayART’s site, where Alexander Vasiliuk and Stanislav Orekhov provide training for the world of photorealistic 3D Architectural Renderings.
