Chiaroscuro with V-Ray. The Art of Lighting, Materials, and Exercises for Photorealistic Rendering by Ciro Sannino

The book “Chiaroscuro with V-Ray” is the perfect evolution of the previous book “Photography & Rendering with V-Ray”.

The artistic aspect, in particular, is further scrutinized, using chiaroscuro to steer the lighting techniques; photography remains a predominant element, while certain technical aspects, which have now become obsolete, make room for new explanations, new videos, and new exercises to substitute and enhance the ones in the previous book.

Shaping with light is a classic concept in photography and painting and its application to rendering brings a more profound vision and remarkable artistic momentum to this wonderful art form.

The book is targeted to both those who have never used V-Ray before and to those already familiar with the software, who are looking for a way to organize their ideas in a simpler and more linear fashion.
