Overview
V-Ray Interactive Production Rendering (IPR) provides interactive rendering using the V-Ray and V-Ray GPU renderers.
Settings for the behavior of the VFB when using IPR rendering can be found in the IPR options rollout (Render Setup window > V-Raytab) for the V-Ray renderer and in the Render Settings rollout (Render setup window > V-Ray tab) for the V-Ray GPU renderer.
Using V-Ray IPR
The IPR option is accessible from the V-Ray Frame Buffer (VFB).
To use V-Ray IPR:
In the Render Setup window, make sure the render engine is set to V-Ray. To open the VFB, click the Last VFB button on the Toolbar, or go to the respective Render Setup rollout for V-Ray or V-Ray GPU engine.

Additional Features
While IPR is running, if the Fit resolution to VFB option is enabled in the IPR options rollout, the render refreshes to fill the VFB when the VFB window is resized. The render output size also changes accordingly. The same setting for V-Ray GPU can be found in the V-Ray tab > Frame buffer rollout > Fit IPR resolution to VFB.
