Critical quality settings
In this video I'm going to review the group of settings that most affect your image quality. Without this understanding, it's way too easy to spend hours tweaking settings and rendering over and over, hoping for an improvement. Now V-Ray has many settings affecting quality, while Rhino has only one, so let's start there first. Before I show you, I'm going to switch over to Shaded mode. I want to zoom in on some of this rounded geometry. Now the setting we're looking at is called Render Mesh. And this is just a viewport approximation of the NURBS geometry. So you're always seeing small triangles, which can be scaled up or down as needed. And these are only in the viewport, just for quicker feedback. So here we're seeing little gaps pulling away. There's gotta be a better example over here on the back side of this TV. So you're noticing that the geometry wants to be super smooth, but we have these little jaggy straight sections. So, those will appear when rendered as uneven, so let's…
