Isometric View Of Entire Scene


 V-Ray Light Settings


Note: The light in this scene comes from three sources.

1. Environment light
2. The neon light
3. The V-Ray light
(All of the above contribute to the global illumination)


As you can see from the screen grab above, the V-Ray light is positioned in the top right portion on the scene. It is facing towards the wall and is aimed slightly towards the main scene geometry. I wanted to make it appear as though there was a bar or some other light source just off camera.

- Multiplier was set to 60
- A redish color was applied to the V-Ray light
- Subdivs were left default at 8



V-Ray Camera
- Type was set to Still cam
- F-number
was lowered to 2.0
- Exposure was left on
- Vignetting was disabled

V-Ray Material Settings for the Wall


Note: I wanted the wall to look old and worn down. I added some displacement to the wall as well as some graffiti to give it some character.

- The material has light Fresnel reflections with an IOR of 2.0 with a max depth of 8
- Reflection glossiness was set to 0.85 (this increases the material's glossiness) with a max depth of 8

V-Ray Displacement Settings for the hand Chalk (Left)
 D Mapping was used- chalkdisplace.jpg was used for the displacement mamot was set to.001"
Note: The displacement map choice for the chalk was fairly arbitrary. Basically all I wanted was to have a rough surface on the chalk to simulate it has been used.
