Description- The workshop will serve as an introduction to rendering
with V-Ray for Rhino 4. Topics covered will include configuring
options/settings, lighting, basic materials and setting up of exterior
scenes. Emphasis will be placed on revealing the basic fundamentals
of the process of setting up renderings, to ensure successful results
while rendering with V-Ray for Rhino.
The Session 2 workshop (being held on Thursday, November 11) will
cover detailed material creation, texturing, how to set up of interior
scenes, and post production using Adobe Photoshop.

Location
Room HHN 308
Date + Time
Thursday, November 4, 7-9PM
Requirements
Participants are required to bring a laptop with Rhino4(SR8) and
V-Ray for Rhino Plug-In (v.01.05.29)

Screen-cast from Alex Roman that takes you through modeling, rendering and compositing in motion graphics (3dsmax, Vray, AfterEffects and Premiere.).  “A FULL-CG animated piece that tries to illustrate architecture art across a photographic point of view where main subjects are already built spaces.” I am sure we will see many great things from him to come.
