Notes

  • A Reset option is provided in the context menu of each Number Slider. You can reset the slider value to the default one.
  • Most numeric V-Ray parameters come with a slider to make fine-tuning easier. Each slider is set to a default range of recommended or commonly used values. If a value above that range is used the slider adapts by increasing its range accordingly (2x the input value) to maintain usability. If a value below the current slider range is used, the slider again adjusts its range by shrinking it to twice the amount of the input value.
  • The slider range does not indicate the parameter's total minimum and maximum input values. The absolute minimum and maximum values of each parameter can be found by hovering over its spinbox.
  • Memory usage can be viewed from the Stats section of the new V-Ray Frame Buffer.
  • Starting with V-Ray 5.20.01, V-Ray special objects (Fur/Clipper/Displacement/Mesh Light/Scatter/Decal) are not deleted from the Asset Editor, when the last item with the corresponding special object assigned to it, is deleted from the viewport.
