V-ray Presets

V-ray

The V-Ray Asset Browser and presets are a great new addition to V-Ray 5 and will be a massive boost to the workflow of both novice and advanced users. Both will be able to create materials much quicker, but will also be able to ensure that the materials produced will be physically correct and optimized to take advantage of all the. Since many new features have been added with the latest version of V-Ray for SketchUp, we have decided to do this mini series of tutorials with the latest versions. In this first tutorial I will be using V-Ray Beta version 1.48.99 (V-Ray for SketchUp User Manual Version 1.48) and SketchUp version 7.0. I will be focusing on IES, Spotlight.

Overview

The V-Ray presets dialog is accessible via the Presets button on the System rollout, when the Advanced or Expert UI mode is displayed.

The presets dialog saves the various parameters of V-Ray into a text file which can be reloaded again quickly. Currently the presets are stored in a file called vray.cfg in the plugcfg sub-folder of the 3ds Max root folder.
