Revit Prism materials can be promoted and treated as V-Ray materials in the V-Ray Asset Editor. The Promote in Asset Editor () button opens the Asset Editor (if it has not been opened beforehand) and sends the AutoGen material to the Materials list, where you can modify it just like any V-Ray material. All V-Ray Material parameters are available for the promoted AutoGen material.
One AutoGen material can be promoted multiple times, and each time a new V-Ray Material is created in the Asset Editor.
Pressing Ctr+Click on the Promote in Asset Editor button automatically assigns the converted V-Ray Material as a replacement to the source AutoGen material.
