V-Ray for MODO
Product Overview:
V-Ray is a rendering plug-in for Modo. In addition to supporting most standard Modo features, V-Ray supports many third-party plug-ins. V-Ray for Modo includes two renderers:
- V-Ray, which utilizes all V-Ray's features.
- V-Ray RT, a real-time renderer. V-Ray RT can update the rendering as you make changes to the scene. V-Ray RT renders most V-Ray and Modo features with a few exceptions.
All the V-Ray options are available within the Modo user interface, including indirect illumination and the creation of V-Ray maps, and materials. While V-Ray will render standard Modo features, the V-Ray options are designed to work with the V-Ray render engine to improve both image quality and render times.
Rendering settings for V-Ray can be found in two locations in Modo:
- The V-Ray Render Settings, which are divided into a Main section, GI, RT and Performance, and Render Elements.
- The Modo Preferences, under the V-Ray Renderer category.
Additionally, V-Ray for Modo comes packaged with several standalone Rendering Tools and Utilities to assist in the rendering process.
