V-Ray Education Collection

The ultimate 3D rendering and fluid dynamics toolset for education

Experimenting with new software, workflows and techniques is key to a well-rounded education — and with the V-Ray Education Collection, you can enjoy unprecedented access to V-Ray products and more. With a single license, you have the flexibility to try V-Ray for 3ds Max or Maya, experiment with fluid simulations in Phoenix FD or re-render your favorite SketchUp projects.

For educators, institutions and training centers, V-Ray Education Collection is an opportunity to demonstrate how easy it is to transfer V-Ray skills, introduce new classes and teach multi-platform workflows.

V-Ray Education Collection is available as a one-year term Workstation license for students and educators, and a one, two or three-year term Workstation license for universities. Each license includes one Universal V-Ray GUI, one Universal Phoenix FD GUI, one Universal V-Ray Render Node and one Universal Phoenix FD Simulation Node, so users can run V-Ray and Phoenix FD on multiple host platforms.

* V-Ray Education Collection licenses provide the same functionality as commercial ones and can only be used for educational purposes. They cannot be used for commercial (for-profit) work of any kind.

Learning Resources
 



Free Educational Courseware

Chaos Group’s official courseware is designed to help educators focus on what they do best. We provide proven, customizable resources, guidance and assets that accommodate every level of V-Ray training.

Our modular courseware includes lectures, lesson plans, handouts, demonstration tutorials, scenes and assets, as well as practice assignments. You can quickly set up classes with over 40 hours of extensive training and practice — everything is designed to fit your preferred teaching style. Courseware is based on the concept of learning cycles — a proven method for teaching adults. This concept splits each lesson into three distinct cycles and, for each of these, educators are provided with class materials.
