   V-Ray > Render Settings > Images

   Render settings > Vray > Common > V-Ray output system > file

2. Export a .vrscene

3. Open it in text-editing software (like Notepad for example) and search for

   img_rawFile=0;
   img_rawFileVFB=1;

4. Change the values to

   img_rawFile=1;
   img_rawFileVFB=2;

5. Open V-Ray Standalone and add the edited .vrscene as a sceneFile

vray.exe -scenefile=\path\to\exported\filename.vrscene

• • • Type cmd in the folder path line
    • Press Enter
    • Type vray.exe -scenefile= and drag and drop the already prepared .vrscene
    • Click over the V-Ray Standalone window
    • Press Enter

1. Press Enter to start the rendering.
   The VFB will open in preview mode to save memory. It won’t show the whole resolution and you cannot zoom as usual. The image will be automatically saved, you don’t have to save it from the VFB.

2. Once completed you can open .vrimg in the V-Ray Frame Buffer or use the V-Ray Image to EXR (vrimg2exr) converter to save the image to .exr file format or load it to VFB in the platform you are using.
