This essentially allows you to only render parts of the image based on a grayscale mask or on selected objects. It is a new feature in V-Ray 3.0 as well, so again you may not have come across it yet. This step is not strictly only to do with Progressive Rendering but I thought it would be helpful to point out all the same. You will notice that it gives you a new customized roll-out with specific settings 3. Here you can see the roll-out options you get once you have set the Image Sampler to Progressive. So for a Progressive Rendering solution, we essentially set the max subdivisions to a very high number! ![]() You tell V-Ray how many subdivisions you want it to go up to and it just ticks along until it hits that number. The Image Sampler is essentially a process that V-Ray goes through to sample your image and clean it up. When I first saw it there I thought it was a bit of a strange place to have it, but having thought about it, it does make sense. ![]() Now we need to activate the Progressive Rendering and we do that in the Image Sampler roll-out. We begin by making sure that the renderer is set to V-Ray 3.0 to ensure that the Progressive Rendering option is available to us 2. In the render set-up dialogue, scroll down to assign renderer and set it to V-Ray 3.0. It's important to note that this feature was only introduced to V-Ray 3.0, so if you have a version prior to that then you won't be able to make use of this feature – yet! However, you can of course head over to the V-Ray website where you can sign up for the beta version. It is built on the same path-tracing technology as V-Ray RT but this is a production renderer which is compatible with all of the V-Ray production features. ![]() Now you might ask "Isn't that just the same as V-Ray RT?" In a way yes it is the same. It's a new feature in 3.0 which allows you to render and see your image progressively appear before you. With the release of V-Ray 3.0 nearing ever closer, Paul Hatton checks out the impressive capabilities of the all-new Progressive Rendering inside V-Ray 3.0, showcasing the Beta version IntroductionĮver since gaining access to the V-Ray 3.0 beta, I have been impressed by their Progressive Rendering Production rendering option. With this scene I wanted to create a haven for a record lover – a comfortable place they could sit and revel in their music.
