what are the tools to use with Vray

[artLand]

hi,

we are installing new workstations with vray and RT, i would like to ask some suggestions of what other tools, scripts and/or plugins should one add for best productivity.

Scripts

VrayScatter and SolidRocks are on the top of my list.

NodeJoe is good

I find many of LeLe's tools very handy, almost daily.

coffee and patience.

Beer and VRay - THE COMPLETE GUIDE; both in moderation of course. What are you planning on producing with Vray?

[theedge]

rendermask is on top of my list.

[re:FORM]

Do you have a non .exe installer for the Rendermask plugin?

NodeJoe (http://www.nodejoe.com/index_en.php) looks really good. Is it 100% compatible with VRay materials?

Yep - totally. Makes building complex materials really fast.

+1 for Node Joe, can't live without it now. I also like VrayScatter and SolidRocks (if it gets that last update....).

RenderPassManager is a huge help for me too.

Aside from that a few small plugs get a lot of miles, but I probably use Master Bercons preview render script more than any other. That one is great.
