Fast vray preview settings for max

[qwarto]

what is the best settings for vray if u just want see a fast preview of your finished project. I'm new to vray so please bare with me. My problem is when i finished assigning materials to all my model then try to render it using vray i have to wait for a while before i can see any results. is there a faster way of doing this?

hi there (sorry, my english is not good)

try to reduce the irradiance map min and max rate to something equal.

ex : min rate -3 and max rate -3

this will allow you to have only 1 prepass...

and for preview purpose

 

1. dont use AA ( use fixed

2. render size 320 X 240

3. try to use vray materials for reflaction and refraction ( instead of standard raytrace refraction and reflaction)

4. for secondary bounce try to use global photon maps and its corresponding settings.

5. for vray lights try reducing subdiv settings for test render

 

Goodluck

Light Cache is the quickest way to preview. The shadows are not generated as well as a normal render.

 

Under Indirect Illumination tab:

 

Change Primary bounces GI Engine to Light Cache

Change Secondary bounces GI Engine to Light Cache

 

Remember what you had before.
