Hi all,
I am considering Vray basic for my architectural renderings, and I have a few questions:
1.is vray basic fully networkable? that is, is the radiance map, for example, calculated only once accross the renderfarm? what about animation (camera only moving, obviously)?
In other words, when you save a radiance map, can you use it in a render farm?
2.Also, can you split a large still rendering accross a renderfarm?
3.Do you use VIZ network manager, or Vray has its own network renderer?
4.Does Vray support linear lights? So far, i could not manage to use linear lights with the free version. They look like point lights. Maybe there are some VIZ settings that I am missing (i am quite new at VIZ as well...).
5.What about area/object lights? that is, turning an object into a light emitter?
6.The radiance map settings are in the render tab and seem generic for all materials / objects. What if i want to have materials irradiate light differently? Is that done with Vray materials?
This software, so far, has proven to be quite amazing, even just the free version. I am very excited about the possibilities.
Thank you for reading,
regards,
Gio
