CardPageLinkVRayShadow for Standard Lights

Shadows

V-Ray provides shadow types that work with standard 3ds Max lights. These shadow types take into account V-Ray-specific features such as V-Ray Proxies, Displacement, and FurThe VRayShadow plugin can be used to achieve raytraced shadows with 3ds Max lights and V-Ray.
