V-Ray For 3Ds Max User Interface

This document provides a sample lesson plan for teaching the V-Ray user interface in 3ds Max. The lecture portion would briefly introduce the V-Ray components. The demonstration would guide students through setting up V-Ray as the default renderer and explaining the render settings, toolbar, light lister, quick settings, command panel, material editor, and object properties. The activity portion allows students to explore the V-Ray interface on their own using provided materials.

V-RAY FOR 3DS MAX USER INTERFACE

This document gives a basic sample lesson plan structure for involving the V-Ray User Interface
module into a lecture

Lecture
This gives a foundation to help new V-Ray users in understanding where to find some of the most
common tools and settings, and to be able to successfully navigate through the following lessons

• Since this lesson is introductory and there isn’t much theory, the lecture will be much shorter
and more time will be spend actually showing where to find the different V-Ray components

Demonstration
• In this cycle you are going to go over the V-Ray UI in 3ds Max. You may want to use the provided
scene and handout or create your own
• It is important to begin with setting up V-Ray as a default rendering engine in order to be able to
see the rest of the plug-ins in the 3ds Max interface
• The Render Settings are a major part of V-Ray and following lessons will go into detail about the
options there, but it’s a good idea to let the students know what the options are generally about:
o Make sure you explain the Default/Advanced/Expert mode of the UI here
o Note that the settings of V-Ray RT are only accessible when the Target is set to
ActiveShade
• The V-Ray Toolbar is also commonly used to access V-Ray tools and options
• The V-Ray Light Lister allows us to control all V-Ray lights from one convenient menu
• The V-Ray Quick Settings will be used most of the time when setting up antialiasing and global
illumination so make sure to note them as well
• V-Ray Geometry, Lights and Helpers can be created through the Command Panel
• All V-Ray materials and maps can be accessed through the Material Editor
• The V-Ray Object Properties are very important for advanced workflows and for optimizing
render results
• The Environment and Effects window holds a few additional V-Ray components so make sure
you show them as well

Activity
• In this cycle you will let the students use the provided scene and handout and discover the
different V-Ray components on their own
• You may create different scenes and challenges that cover the same basic information,
presented in the Lecture and Demo.
