Follow the steps from the course page to develop a set of materials in VrayĪ good practice is to save a copy of your Rhino file dedicated to you render if you plan to continue editing the model. This way you can assign objects to layers that are organized and named by material.įollow the steps in the course page to assign materials to their corresponding layerĬonsider the two general categories of Vray lighting: Direct and Indirect. Indirect: Vray is a popular render program because of its "Global Illumination" (GI) feature. This allows a scene to be well lit without manually adding lights. However, shadows are often soft and ambiguous.ĭirect: Various lights can be manually inserted into your scene for more descriptive or dramatic effect. The most versatile and effective is the "Rectangular Light." With normal settings enabled, the size that you create this light at, and the distance it is placed from your scene will affect the light it casts. Other options are directional, point, and spot lights. Vray uses a primary and secondary render engine. There are several combinations you may choose by opening the "Indirect Illumination" panel in Vray options.
