V-Ray for Revit - The Ultimate Guide (w/Ana)

 

In the world of architectural visualization, V-Ray has always set the standard for the creating the highest quality renderings around.  V-Ray for Revit gives you those high quality rendering standards INSIDE of the the Revit platform.  

On this episode of BIM After Dark Live I was joined by Ana Lyubenova.  Ana is the V-Ray for Revit product manager with Chaos Group.  If there is ANYONE who will be able to show us the POWER of having the V-Ray rendering engine inside of Revit and answer your questions along the way, it is her.

We talked about what V-Ray is, what it means to be integrated with Revit, go through the workflow of using this powerful rendering engine along side your models, and talk about what new features are coming to V-Ray 5 for Revit soon!

Having not used V-Ray for Revit in quite some time, I am impressed with how much better the workflow is and how nicely it interacts with our clunky friend, Revit.

V-Ray for Revit : A Case Study

I have been publishing content on this blog for over seven years.  Until now, I have never featured a "guest" or "guest post".  Sure, there may have been links to other awesome content people have created, but nothing like this.  It's that good.  The author of this case study is my good buddy (and previous cubicle neighbor), Sam Davis.  Sam now works for JCJ Architecture. 

When I got back from RTCNA last year, Sam and I had some lengthy discussions about the announcement of "V-Ray for Revit".  He mentioned that he planned on trying it out when he got the link from Chaos Group (getting the download link took forever...).  A few weeks had gone by and we didn't discuss it again.  Then, out of nowhere, Sam sends me the first draft of his case study on V-Ray for Revit (Beta).  Sam did an excellent job evaluating the beta release, comparing it to current standards, and communicating his findings...  Well done, Sam, and thanks for letting me share it with my audience, exclusively.

The Revit Kid Project - Master's Thesis - Cycle Design/reBuild

I'M BACK!!

I would like to thank you all for being so patient the last few months while I completed my semester.  I am happy to announce that I am finally finished!  I am also happy to announce that you guys continued to check out the blog and content while I was away... In fact, the blog rolled over 2,000,000 hits during my hiatus.

As many of you have been contacting me letting me know how much you enjoy seeing some of my personal work (beyond this blog) here are some goodies from my final thesis presentation.... (you can full screen and click through the presentation)....

If you are having issues viewing the Prezi full screen follow this link...

I will eventually be posting my final thesis book for you all to view when it is completed and that will have all of the information about the presentation above.  Furthermore, below are the high resolution renderings from the presentation for your viewing pleasure.


Some of these renderings are Revit > 3DS Max > VRay > Photoshop (click to enlarge):

  

The following rendering is simply Revit and Photoshop:
