Refer to the examples on this page to see the versatile use of this texture. Using Dome light setting, the lights come from HDRI map as direct light, and all kinds of effects like shadows, reflection, etc… will be apparent. The VRayDistanceTex is a V-Ray specific procedural texture that returns a different color based on a point's distance to an object(s) specified in a selection list. This can be illustrated in test render sample (see image 2.0/ Setting 2.1.B and Setting 2.2.B). Achieve real-world reflections and refractions in less time.
#Vray textures update#
The shadow in Dome light+ HDRI setting appears to be smoother than Vray sun setting. V-Ray 5 for 3ds Max, update 1 brings even more workflow optimizations to help you save time and get photo-realistic results fast.From a single render, simulate many light environments and instantly tweak specific parts of your scene. Purchase a perpetual workstation license and options to Explore features of V-Ray Next, the rendering.

A 3D Texture can be replaced with another 3D Texture or any other type of V-Ray texture via the Replace With New. 4 V-Ray Tutorial 5: How to create and use materials. Some of the textures are useful in mimicking real-life surface variety - such as Marble, Granite, Rock, and others provide different noise variations. Follow the parameters set-up I made for this test render experiment (See image 2.1 Dome light Setting). V-Ray for SketchUp offers a number of 3D Textures specifically for use with V-Ray. To change the parameters for Dome light follow the procedures: under ‘Vray Asset Editor’> go to ‘Lights’> click the Vray Dome light> under Light dome, you can see two main parameters (Main and Options). In order to set-up the Dome light: click the Dome light icon and place it in your SketchUp scene. Thus, optimizing the Dome light settings is important in order to produce a suitable environment in relation to HDRI map. Using Vray for SketchUp, when loading a Dome light+ HDRI in default setting, the render result will be darker in nature (See image 2.0/ Setting 2.1.A).
