Table of Contents

Here is a description of all the covered topics in the self-training program with included code examples for V-Ray App SDK:

Introduction

In this section we give a quick overview of the App SDK and introduce you to the general topic of photorealistic rendering.

VFB

The redesigned V-Ray Frame Buffer (VFB) provides a higher level of post processing adjustments and ability to modify your scene.

Render Engines

In this section we cover the different render engines (or rendering modes) available in V-Ray

Fundamentals

This section gives some foundational knowledge about the building blocks of the App SDK - plugins and events.

Basic Camera and Geometry

In this section we'll dive deeply into the different geometry types available in V-Ray.

Lighting

In this section we'll cover thoroughly (almost) all light types available in V-Ray.

Advanced Camera

In this section we'll talk about different advanced functionalities of the camera.

Shading Materials

In this section we'll cover the most frequently used materials in V-Ray.

Shading Textures

In this section we talk about the most commonly used textures in V-Ray.

Dynamic Geometry

In this section we'll cover geometry primitives, which are generated at runtime when necessary and may be discarded to free up memory.

Animation

In this section we'll talk about the animation which one can produce using V-Ray.

Render Elements

In this section we'll cover the render elements (channels) available in V-Ray.

Sampling

In this section we talk about Antialiasing in the context of creating Shading/Camera Effects and about the various anti-aliasing filters implemented in V-Ray.

Global Illumination

In this section we'll cover the topic about Global Illumination (GI) - a key part of the photorealistic rendering process - and its related settings.

Settings

In this section we talk about the settings plugins in V-Ray and how to export V-Ray Scene Files (.vrscene) 

Setup

In this section we'll discuss some topics, which occur during the setup and integration of App SDK.

Advanced

This section covers advanced functionalities, such as Wrapper Material, Volumetrics, Particle Systems and Texture Baking.

Optimizations

In this section we'll cover possible optimization techniques when integrating App SDK for different languages.

Troubleshooting

In this section we'll discuss some hints how to fix issues, when using App SDK.

Industry-specific

In this section we talk about topics, such as V-Ray Hair Material, V-Ray Fur and cartoon shading.
