1 - Alternatively if you are rendering with V-Ray Standalone 6 or newer (meaning you render vrscenes or render using V-Ray GPU), you can copy all files inside the /phoenix_builds/my_version/phoenix/vray6plugins folder to the folder that the VRAY_FOR_MAYANNNN_PLUGINS environment variable points to (specified during the V-Ray for Maya installation). This would affect only this specific V-Ray Standalone version

or

append the /phoenix_builds/my_version/phoenix/vray6plugins path to the VRAY_PLUGINS environment variable. Note that this would affect all installed V-Ray versions.

 

For V-Ray versions older than V-Ray 6 copy all files from /phoenix_builds/my_version/phoenix/vray5plugins folder to the folder that the VRAY_FOR_MAYANNNN_PLUGINS environment variable points to (specified during the V-Ray for Maya installation). This would affect only this specific V-Ray Standalone version

or

append the /phoenix_builds/my_version/phoenix/vray5plugins path to the VRAY_PLUGINS environment variable. Note that this would affect all installed V-Ray versions.
