Here’s a bunch of renders that I did recently when I got a chance to play with VRay. There are some unique old buildings where I come from and these are a good way to show them off. The odd one out obviously being the Pantheon. We don’t have one of those- I stole the model from Antikens on 3DWH and did some work on it.
VRay is relatively easy to use- All of the controls are more-or-less accessible through the interface.
Here’s a study of grass, tile and water.
The tile is ultra-shiny so that explains the ghostly effect of the water reflecting on it.
The grass looks like mine. Dire need of watering.
Some studies of a project I designed and project managed in 2011. It’s the last building I did before having to pack in the architecture gig. (Irish “regulations”… Long story which I won’t bore anyone with. 
)
I need to pour some VRay water on it.
