Optimize render speed in Vray for 3dsMax

Adjust speed vs. quality

All settings influence both render speed and image quality. We'll go over each parameter, showing how it affects image quality and how big the effect on render speed is.

Image sampler types

Vray has several 'image samplers', different approaches to calculating every pixel of your image. Each has its advantages, so we'll test them all and pick the most versatile to use in a wide variety of scenes.

Global vs local control

We'll go over all the parameters that control image quality, either global settings that affect the entire image, and local settings to improve quality only in certain areas of your image.

Scene optimization

After digging deeper into V-Rays raytracing theory, we'll provide you with a general workflow to optimize your scenes for render speed and quality. We'll use render elements and other visual clues to identify where the problems are situated.

Draft quality vs. final rendering

With just a few tweaks, you will be able to switch from draft quality for your test renders, to super high quality for your final high resolution images.

• In depth information explaining what and why. Instead of summing up a bunch of settings, we explain everything.
• A thorough understanding of all settings, so you will be able to tweak things further to your specific needs.
• Screenshots for every step of the tutorial, together with rendertimes, showing you exactly the effect of every parameter both in speed and quality.
• Step by step instructions, in an easy to follow, human language.
• A 3dsMax scene file is included, so you can experiment with the same scene on your own. Of course the tutorial can be applied to eny kind of scene you want.
