Overview

This tutorial section presents step-by-step walk-throughs for some of the most common rendering tasks. Some of the tutorials also demonstrate specific usage of V-Ray's features.

Preparation for Rendering

These tutorials explain how to prepare a scene for rendering under different circumstances.

• Universal V-Ray Settings - V-Ray settings that work well for still images.

• Rendering Specific Objects with Render Mask - How to render only certain objects.

• Basic Texture Baking with V-Ray - Permanently "bake" the scene lighting into textures so no lighting is needed for the final rendering, making it render faster.

• Rendering PTex Textures from Mudbox - Import a texture from Mudbox for use in 3ds Max with V-Ray.
