Vray exterior lighting using HDRI & Dome Light in 3ds max - how to apply hdri in 3ds max

In this 3ds max V-Ray realistic exterior lighting tutorial, you will learn AFTERNOON, CLOUDY & finally NIGHT scene exterior lighting using HDRI & VRay Dome light in 3ds max software. You will also learn Post-processing in Vray frame buffer ( VFB ).
It's a detailed tutorial & after watching it, you will have a complete grasp on how to do exterior lighting in Vray and 3ds max. This tutorial is divided into 4 sections & I'll highly recommend not to skip any section.
Section 1: Use an override material in render setup to figure out lighting?
Section 2: How to Light using Dome Light and HDRI Maps?
Section 3: Post-Processing in VFB.
Section 4: Solve HDRI Background issue. By using one HDRI for lighting and its copy for the background?

[@shamimparves1441]

Thanks for this video...i Have one question for you bro If I export sketchup model to 3dsmax then render with vray 5 3dsmax ... so will my render quality be like 3dsmax?

[@SWKTutorials]

VRay will always produce the same result. It doesn't matter from which software you import. After all the model after importing is now a 3ds max native model.
But you have to apply the VRay materials on the model.
One more thing. If the SketchUp model is not properly modeled then it will create problem. But again it's a Modeling error. It can even come if you model is not properly made in 3ds max.

[@shamimparves1441]

Tnx bro

How to control blur in hdri ?

[@SWKTutorials]

Instead of controlling the blur in hdri. Use the image provided with hdri as given on polyhaven website.
But if image is not given then use a high resolution hdri.
If still it doesn't work then do lighting with hdri and use a separate image for backgrounds

Bro which is better vray sun or vray hdri

[@SWKTutorials]

If you have a good HDRI. Then the best choice is HDRI. It is better then sun.
Reasons. It gives better reflection on glass and metals. Plus better contrast in lighting

Either VRay is not loaded in render settings or your are looking at the wrong place in material editor

How to remove it if we dont want it in background..?

[@SWKTutorials]

If you don't want background. Then
Option 1: in dome light. Options rollout. Check invisible.
Option 2: plus don't make sphere.

[@ankitkesarwani23]

how to increase hdri quality?
I have downloaded and applied even 16k but background is little blurry.

[@SWKTutorials]

If you are downloading HDRI from HDRI haven. Then carefully look there is 8K Tonemapped JPG below the HDRI links. You can use it for background.
Remember if you are using 8K Tonemapped then you might have to change mapping type to spherical. But not necessary.
Plus you can also use some other image for background.

Can u u suggest good configuration for laptop and software to install

Ok. I'll give a detailed reply after 4 hours.

[@Lotus-po2gr]

Didn't receive any message from you regarding configuration... please send it

[@SWKTutorials]

Go for a Good gaming laptop according to your budget.
It should be
Intel processor-based. (min processor generation 9 or above)
nVidia geforce based
16GB DDR
256 GB SSD for windows and software. (as it is fast but expensive)
Normal HHD for data and other stuff. (as it is cheap)
*********************************************************.
If you don;t mind can you tell me your budget.

[@SWKTutorials]

I prefer desktop over laptop as they are easy to upgrade.
but if you only want laptop.
Then there are 3 choices a workstation, gaming laptops or normal laptops with good configuration.
It all depends on your budget.

[@SWKTutorials]

Min Entry configuration:
11th Generation Intel® Core™ i5-1135G7 Processor
16GB DDR4,
1TB 2.5" SATA Hard Drive
256GB SSD
NVIDIA® GeForce® MX330 with 2GB GDDR5 graphics memory

The more you go above this configuration the better it is.
