We are done with the lighting part here, so let's look at the render settings. I usually use brute force, but this time I was looking for some fast render times. Using an Irradiance map and Light Cache is much faster than using Light Cache and brute force, and this is the render set up with V-Ray (Fig.06).



If you want to speed up the render time using this setting, go to the Settings tab and in the Global Subdivision Multiplier change the 3 to a 1.

In Photoshop I did some color correction, chromatic aberration and sharpen – nothing more. And here's the final render (Fig.07).


I hope that you have learned something from this brief tutorial and if you have any questions then please feel free to contact me.

Here are some other renders from this project (Fig.08 – 10).
