Thanks jeff . You’re very professional . I have Four questions for you?
1- Why would the practice of architecture less education ?
2- I’ve downloaded iRayManager from your site . iray manager is Ok , But Not known In ActiveShade . (I Using 3dmax2012 64 bit) .
3- Why not use the Maxwell Render Engine ?
4- If I send My sample Work , Do you Submit comments about my work ? I am Iranian , It gets less attention in Iran . ?
I am really pleased to meet you ………………
“1- Why would the practice of architecture less education ?” – Not sure I completely understand the question. I was under the impression that architecture required quite a bit of education. Sorry, I probably misunderstood the question.
I need to go back through all my old hard drives and try to find my license key, etc. and with my current workload and family life I just don’t have the spare time to dig for that info now. I know, long story… 
“2- I’ve downloaded iRayManager from your site . iray manager is Ok , But Not known In ActiveShade . (I Using 3dmax2012 64 bit).” – That’s probably normal as I’m not sure if running from a script would update in real-time via ActiveShade.
“3- Why not use the Maxwell Render Engine ?” – Several reasons for me personally. 1. I have more GPU power than CPU power and little space for more CPUs. 2. It’s been several years (and workstations) since I explored Maxwell Render. I purchased my copy back before the price went up (alpha/beta phase with the +1 license). However, for whatever reason they (nextlimit) can’t find any record of my account.
“4- If I send My sample Work , Do you Submit comments about my work ? I am Iranian , It gets less attention in Iran . ?” – I could but I would recommend posting your images on a public forum like CGtalk or CGarchitecture for architectural images instead of just having my input. Having a broader base of viewers should provide more detailed feedback.
Hello Sir,
I Have Problem in iray
1) How Can Use Mr.sun With HDRI Lighting Setup In IRay
Mr.sun is not support iray only support Mr.Psychical sky
so How can Use sun With Hdri Lighting
AFAIK it’s just not possible to use the mrSun with iray. A program like HDR Light Studio is useful for adding/placing custom “sun disc’s” in HDRs for stronger (or custom) lighting/shadows.
hello Jeff,
I am pleased to see your work. Its really impressive. I have 7 years working experience in gaming. Now want to switch to lighting. i am using v-ray since last six months. Can you suggest some tutorial which can help me to use HDR Light Studio for customizing HDRs.
