Best Vray ("All") materials library...?

Jonathan85 · Feb 2020

Hello

What do you think would be the best, most comprehensive, full, varied, realistic library of Vray materials...? I mainly looking for it as a tool to learn how to make the most realistic materials - stone, wood, plastic, glass, water, different metal, fabric etc... Im looking for it mainly as a "tool" to learn the best settings, im not looking for it to use in my own work.

Sure, there are TONs of sources, you can even buy some Evermotion scenes and learn the materials from them.

But im looking for one source dedicated to materials, being it free or payed.

Is there something like this for Vray?

Check out ArchViz - Evermotion library. They're far from optimize but generally speaking the newer Vray tries to move away from optimizing individual light/materials and instead do it via a global DMC (https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/VRAY4MAX/Global+DMC+Settings).

Hi i know of course about archinteriors and exteriors from evermotion and their archmodels... But i dont really think they have what im looking for

Im looking for something like "Ultimate Complete Realistic Vray materials (settings) 100+ materials"...

Something like that... Is there something like that...? free or payed... There must be... (?) But as far as i can remember i did not EVER come across any such "collection" NEVER... (but that seems imposible?)

This is not what i was looking for :-), but thanks. This are even their own "mtl" (and are not Vray Mtl"). I just want "normal" vray materials that look GOOD, are top notch, the settings, i dont even need texture/bitamp files, ill use mine :-).

There's not much available, I'm afraid. I found I just had to dig right in and learn bit by bit.

There area few archviz artists who share info, digging deeper into this or that setting. I'll see if I can dig one of them up.

Viscorbel is gone, that was a great site. These guys know their shit tho.

You can also check out a settings manager like https://www.solidrocks.subburb.com/ which helps take out a lot of the guesswork. Really inexpensive for what you get, highly recommended!

Thanks. I knew about both guys :-).

Why did Viscorbel end BTW?

Also thats quite suprising there isnt such a pack... someone should make it and make "a lot" of money :-).
