It's almost as if they got halfway through a first draft of the manual and decided to just publish it as-is. What we do have access to is exceedingly limited. I could forgive the last bit, and in fact many of these lousy results if Chaos Group had even bothered to give us some kind of halfway decent documentation. I mean, if you are willing to put in a whole lot of effort to figure out what everything does, you can kind-of get to a place where manipulation of the various settings and nodes results in more or less reliable results, but why does it have to be so convoluted? And this version of vray seems to be heavily limited compared to other versions, even basic functionality(no angular blend or material blend node? seriously?). Which means checking your work takes an inordinately long time.Īdd in the poorly implemented nodes system and vray materials interface and it just gets worse. It works as long as you only make minor changes to the default settings, but once you start really playing around with it, the accuracy of the preview is completely useless. I've heard that they can't have an in-app render capability due to licensing, but since they have a material preview window inside blender, I'm not sure why they can't have some kind of in-app render preview for the scene, and worse is that the material preview is lousy anyway. My troubles started when I bought the damn thing and I had to struggle with the horribly designed licensing setup(a dongle, really? is this 2003?).Ī big reason why I got it was because Blender cycles is kind of slow, but the incredibly clunky workflow for Vray means that any scene of even moderate complexity requires an excessively long export period for every frame, severely slowing down what might be otherwise a reasonable render time.

I was incredibly hopeful for it when I first got it and I really wanted it to be everything I expected it to be, but after a lot of frustration I'm just completely out of patience for this incredibly poorly implemented add-on. I recently got myself a license for v-ray.
