Materials with Normal opacity mode are now migrated to Stochastic opacity mode.
The Highlight Glossiness parameter is a legacy plugin. It is migrated from previous versions; however, if it is disabled, the row is hidden and its value is set to 1.
Use the VRayMtl/VRayBRDF whenever possible in your scenes. This material is specifically optimized for V-Ray and often GI and lighting is computed much faster for V-Ray materials than for standard materials. Many V-Ray features (e.g. light cache, render elements ) are guaranteed to work properly only with VRayMtl and other V-Ray compliant materials.
VRayMtl can produce reflections/refractions for matte objects - see Wrapper Material | MtlWrapper.
The 2D mapping method will ignore the Tiling parameters specified in the textures themselves.
The 2D mapping (landscape) method only supports one UV mapping channel.

Having a very large number of scene objects using materials with 2D Displacement may substantially prolong the geometry compilation phase of the rendering process.
Calculated in the default SketchUp unit - inches.
Prior to V-Ray Next, Update 1 the Fog Scattering section was known as Translucency.

With V-Ray 5, PBR layers are converted to regular VRayMtl layers.
