In this tutorial, Konstantin Gaytandzhiev of Chaos Group demonstrates the process of integrating V-Ray into your workflow.

Topics covered in the tutorial include:

• One-click linear workflow.
• Managing large scenes using the improved V-Ray Proxy loader.
• Transferring animated assets from Maya to 3ds Max using Alembic caches.
• Texture shortcuts using V-Ray procedurals.
• Optimizing Global Illumination for animations.
• Using V-Ray’s extensive Render Elements and creating customized render passes.
• Multichannel OpenEXR output for compositing in Nuke.

In this tutorial, Eugene Opperman will show you how to create a neon sign using Adobe Illustrator and Cinema 4D. We’ll first create the path-work inside of Illustrator and then import it into Cinema 4D and create neon tubing and procedural textures.
