    Hey Alexander
    love your work by the way.
    my name is John k. and
    sorry to bother you with a simple question.
    i was wondering how to make high quality wooden floors?
    Would you be able to make a simple tutorial, or please explain to me how are they made (if its not too mush to ask)
    I have seen images with photo realistic floors, but when i ask none is able to explain nor teach me how is done, and dose who do try don’t make any sense. sorry for the inconvenience.

18. Alexander, on December 9th, 2010 at 10:32 am Said:

    Hi,
    Well if you want to have really good textures…seamless and high resolution
    take a look here http://www.ronenbekerman.com/making-of-3d-render-hover-lake-house-by-benjamin-brosdau/

    In order to make good wood VRay material (shader) you need to have 3 different maps of the same wood..
    Diffuse, Reflection (specular map) and Bump. all really high resolution.

    Good Day Mr. Alex;

    I find your blog website very entertaining and informative. I wish you can make a tutorial about making exterior vray scene setups such as sunsets, sunrise, winter, night scenes, tropical ambiance, rain scenes etc etc. From 3dsmax vray scene to photoshop post productions. If this will be on your video tutorials dvd, even though I’m broke, I will buy it in a heartbeat.

    Hey, Alex..
    Your all tutorials are very helpful. Thank you very much for that.
    I want to make one request to you.
    From last 2years, I’m trying to come up with the Hyper realistic Car renders but i’m not able to achieve the professional level. Please can you make a tutorial for realistic car rendering? I’d like to see “Studio rendering” & “Outdoor rendering – Night & Day.”
    I’ll be very much thankful to you if you can make tutorial for me and if possible then a Free scene also. As i student i can not afford to subscribe for Premium but in future i’ll surely opt for that.

    Thank you.

    Hi Alex,
    May i please request you a tutorial to texture any furniture, example: a seater or a sofa which has curved surfaces. I am stuck up always when I am texturing these kind of models. Also, my kind request is to use some kind of floral textures and not the plain textures like leather where its hard to see the stretching.

    Thank you for all your dedications

    Hi Alex,
    I have a quick question about the AO tutorial of yours that I’m watching right now. My question is does the lighting setup in my scene effect the AO? i need to have the lighting for my both the renders? WHat i wanna know is i will render both of my scenes with the lighting on?

47. Javed, on September 15th, 2011 at 11:10 am Said:

    is AO used to cut down the render times? or is it an additional realism to the normal renders?

48. Alex, on October 4th, 2011 at 1:59 pm Said:

    Hi, my name is Alex and i wrote from Monza (Milan,Italy).
    My job is principally architectural visualization and I use 3ds max 2012 and vray 2 (my english is very bad, sorry!)…I also use PS and AE for post production.
    I often see your free tutorial and training and I am interested in your “Webinars packs” with 25 hours of tips and tricks…I have one question:what is the level of this training?
    I ask you because i’m not a beginner, I think I’m intermediate/high level but I want to arrive in Photorealistic level !!!! And I need your experience!
    How con I buy it? Is it only fr download or other?
    Is it possible to order it by mail?
    Thank you for your attention,
    I hope you answer me, thank you very much.

    Hi Alex, 1rt of all it’s a really really pleasure to meat you!!

    My name is Rafhael, i’m 27 years old, and I work with 3dsmax and vray about almost 5 years here, in Brazil .

    I have an office and work by myself.

    I work whith I7 , 8 gb ram, gtx 260 geforce..

    everything a know I learned by myself… and I’m stucked in my work quality…
    I love what I do, for me it’s like play some video games like ps3 but the difference is that I do it for living.. you know.

    Here in Brazil, the work of a 3d artist is not recognized as it should be..because there are so many amateur that sell their images for bananas..
    we usually work for constructors when they exactly want to build some expensive condominium and they usually ask to make a imeg of the living, room, balcony, playground, pool and stuff like that.
    My clients are really satisfied whith my work, but I know that they doesn’t know what’s going on in 3d universe…

    searching new things to study and improve my qualities, like I always do, I finally found you! hey man, probably you are use to hear that, but, you are the guy! I really loved your work and respect that!

    i whatched the most part of your videos and I’m sure I already improved my way to make a scene. thank’s!

    well, I have a few questions about render stuff, like my final render during like.. forever.. 80hrs or something like that.. off course depending of the scene.. but like I said before it’s an I7 man.. I’m very frutrated..

    please, what is the best way for me studing with you and ask some few questions.. like your charges and exactly the way, like, you know.. skype, email, msn…

    here is my blog and facbeook.. i don’t have a website yet because until know i just don’t needed one.. I just post my works in the blog and facebook for know..

    can you give a quickly look? but it’s all old stuff..after watching your teachings I made a scene and I liked but it is rendering know and taking hours and hours to finish…..

    if we maintain contact I could send you the image when its done, for you to see your lessons results..

72. adan, on April 13th, 2012 at 5:15 am Said:

    Hi Alex! i found your site when i was trying to use IES preset lights on youtube, your videos are very useful. Thanks. Now i got another problem using materials and v-ray. I’m working on a scene in my job, is a building located in Mexico. The problem is I can’t render the glass in the building because it appears a strange line in windows, it changes shades of blue glass and is difficult to remove with the application of materials, place another light, even importing back the layer of glass to my file. if you can give me some advice I’d appreciate infinitely, not how to solve this problem. If necessary you facilitated the image to know my problem. If you have a tutorial on your site that also help me appreciate it. My best regards. Sorry for my english, I’m Mexican

    I not to mention my pals appeared to be viewing the great points found on the blog and so before long I had a terrible feeling I had not thanked the site owner for those strategies. All of the young men came as a consequence joyful to read through them and have now definitely been using them. Thanks for truly being quite kind as well as for picking some helpful guides most people are really wanting to learn about. Our own honest apologies for not expressing gratitude to sooner.

76. Corax, on November 1st, 2012 at 9:52 pm Said:

    Hi Alex.
    I’ve been self learning 3ds max and v-ray for the last 4 years. I watched your webinars – great work. I have an odd question. I use Linux as my second operating system, because it has many advantages over Windows.
    I am also a webdesigner and i use LAMP server (apache+PHP+MySQL).
    I was wondering is there any way to use 3ds max in Linux. I know that there is no official version, and it could be installed with bugs with wine. I don’t want to waste years to learn Blender, so am I stuck with windows for 3d graphics? Do you know anybody that is using Linux and 3ds max?

    Thanks in advance.

77. Alexander, on November 12th, 2012 at 8:31 am Said:

    Interesting approach must say
    Never herd about max on Linux.
    I can suggest you to have one working station that runs on Windows and not connected to the internet.
    All the the windows problems are coming from the internet – so just avoid using it on that station.

    The problems with Windows don’t come only from the Internet. I’ve studied Operating systems and core functions. Linux implements real parallel computing, and Windows only simulates one by using hyper-threading and constantly changing focus.

    Linux is faster and performs better. I’ve tested the same machine with Ubuntu 11.04 x64 and Windows 7 Pro x64 it is 20% faster in some tasks under Ubuntu, also there is the issue of security. Linux has better file ownership and rights for files and it’s structure makes viruses pointless. There is no virus under Linux, because of its architecture.

    Of course there is the issue of DirectX vs OpenGL.

    But I don’t want to start Windows vs Linux discussion. I’ve chosen for myself. I’ll probably install Win for 3ds Max and V-ray on my desktop and Ubuntu on my Laptop.

    Sorry for the long post Alex, but I have one more question.
    I am from Bulgaria, and as you know V-ray is a Bulgarian company. The organize certificate test and courses. I wonder do I need to take a certificate or a course. In the professional scene does it matter or people only want to see what you can do and don”t care about diplomas and certificates? I think it may be useful for job interviews and such.

    color mapping: exponential – > gamma 2.2 – you will not get dark shadows
