V-Ray Vision is a real-time viewer that can be used in any project set up for V-Ray rendering. It is a lightweight “game engine” (rasterizer) that does not currently use any type of ray-tracing. Due to its speed, it can serve as a powerful alternative viewport that provides better lighting and material representation as well as camera animation playback controls. In addition to its main function as a viewer, V-Ray Vision can produce spherical panoramas and quick output of both still frames and animation sequences. It comes with its very own auto-exposure, tone mapping, and color correction options.
When V-Ray Vision is launched, it automatically loads the current Rhino project and starts an interactive session. This means that while it is running, a live link is established that sends to the viewer all updates made to the Rhino scene. Stopping the live link, by either clicking the toolbar's V-Ray Vision button or any of V-Ray's Render buttons, ends the connection but does not clear the loaded scene. To stop V-Ray Vision, close its window.
In addition to loading scenes directly from Rhino, V-Ray Vision is able to load .vrscene files directly. In this case, in order for the changes to be displayed, the source file has to be reloaded.
