Most of Vray's features can be found in the render setup dialog (F10), but many other additions are distributed across the complete program.

This tutorial is made with Vray for 3dsMax, but the plugins for the other packages are generally very similar. Please check out the Chaosgroup website for information on compatibility and pricing. Currently, Vray exist for 3D Studio Max, Maya, Rhinoceros 3D, Sketchup, Softimage, Blender and there's even a standalone version available. Vray's features mainly aim at creating photorealistic images, together with improving rendering speed. It's a plugin, which means that it adds functionality to an existing program. It is an extension to 3DS Max, not a replacement! For example things like the material editor, creating and manipulating objects, modifiers etc should all be familiar before trying to learn Vray.Īs you probably already know, Vray is a render plugin.
