Got into an interior design course and as a task I was given a 3D model and was requested to render it, any advice?
Unfortunately the teacher and the class are using V-ray while I’m using Arnold, very difficult to keep up and try to find a way to do what they do without V-ray, I used two types of lighting in the spotlights to give it a glow, I still don’t know how to use the material slate which I think would be a game changer in the future but for now I stuck to free materials I found online. My laptop fans got so loud that I thought it’ll explode when I was rendering, and I tried adding another material to the rug to make it look flat but the laptop CPU just froze.
Any tips and suggestions?
