Every day I learn something new with Vray, without being formally educated with this great software. As it goes though, in my line of work, lighting is crucial. I currently have a model in Sketchup that has over 200 lights in it. I created one master light (4 LED lights) formed as one mesh light, then made into a component. I did it this way, to perhaps help reduce the calculation load with vray, but I suspect that it doesn’t matter since the model will take well over an hour to render. What I need to know is whether or not, the way I created the lighting is correct, and that the render time is just the way it goes with Vray, or there is a more efficient way. The image below is an example of what I am going for, though it is only a fraction what I am trying to achieve.
So like the title of my post suggests, does Vray have a limit in how many lights it calculates for lighting? With that, is there a way to reduce the amount of render load time? Any helpful tips would be appreciated.
