Animation The animation settings are in the V-Ray Render Settings window under Image File Output.

Note, however, that as opposed to V-Ray for 3ds Max, V-Ray for Maya cannot use the standard Maya shaders, materials, lights etc.

Instead, their functionality is emulated by V-Ray specific versions.

In addition, the Hypershade graphs need to be mapped to the V-Ray plugin parameters system.

Kural Geometry The following geometry types are supported.

V-Ray will call the Maya API to subdivide the original mesh up to the last level that has hierarchical edits.

If the required level exceeds 131072 vertices, a lower level will be chosen that has less than 131072 vertices.

Particles and nParticles the supported particle render types are: - Multipoint - Multistreak - Points - Spheres - Sprites - Streak.

For example, paint effects can be converted to polygons and then rendered with V-Ray.

Starting with V-Ray 3.6, setting up a container for VRayEnvironmentFog will only work with the Opacity of the container object set to Black.

Disabling primary visibility for the container object is a deprecated method.

By default, tiled textures use the same memory pool as the dynamic geometry used for displacement, proxies etc.

The size of this pool can be controlled through t he Dynamic memory limit pa rameter in the System tab of the V-Ray render settings.

You can also specify a separate memory pool for tiled textur es using the VRAYTEXTURECACHE envi ronment variable (see the section on Environment variables ).

V-Ray also supports a number of tags in the file names, which are expanded at render time.

See File Names for Bitmap Textures section for more information.

Developed to work together, the VRaySun and VRaySky reproduce the real-life Sun and Sky environment of the Earth.

Both are coded so that they change their appearance depending on the direction of the VRaySun.

The V-Ray Sun and Sky are based largely on the SIGGRAPH99 paper A Practical Analytic Model for Daylight by A.

In the VRaySky tab of V-Ray Render Settings Window there are buttons to create the two nodes.

Camera Settings The following Maya camera settings are supported.

Environment colors can be overridden and there is an option to easily assign a 2d texture as an environment texture.

A V-Ray environment placement node is created with several mapping types available: angular, cubic, spherical, mirror ball.
