materials shaders, HDRI, mental ray

[Jon_Johnson]

How the F*ck do you do an HDRI?

Any help?

erm....the tutorial tells you how.....

[Jelmer]

it's pretty simple, watch the tutorial and you'll get the idea, please be a bit more polite though, we're a friendly community!

[Motammad]

what kind of background image did you use Jelmer? and what kind of lighting...?


EDIT: i cant get the reflections to work.... look how a sphere reflects background!!!

How the hell can i see the tutorial?!?!?!

[Jelmer]

uhm.. thought about clicking the 'download' link, or 'save target as'???

The tutorial is poor quality and there's no explanation WHY the author is doing the things he's doing.
It's nice to see him flick over two dozen of parameters blitzfast but without explaining why, there really isn't any way anyone will teach anything.

I think this could have been a great tut...if it was slower, describing why parameters were altered and the quality of the video and the sound was better.

Damm this video could have been great but i cant hear anything on my rig even if i extremly bump up the sound...
Also the quality seems off, you should check c4dcafe.com they are making C4D video tutorials with great quality and low file size over Camtasia,
the file output is SWF and can be viewd either by a dedicated player or your browser provided you have flash installed obviously.
PM there to 3DKIWI im sure he will help you, he's a great guy.

thanks for the advice, i'm actually working on higher quality tutorials right now for registered members, a few are already online and i'll add this one to it asap.

I'm still not sure where in this tutorial it shows how to apply the HDRI image.
