V-Ray 2.0 introduced several "game-changing" tools that optimized performance and visual quality: V-Ray Proxies V-Ray 2
- Batch Render using V-Ray Standalone: Install the standalone V-Ray Swarm (included in your 2.0 package) to use multiple computers on the same network to render one image.
- Use V-Ray Frame Buffer (VFB) corrections: Unlike later versions, VFB in 2.0 allows basic color corrections (Curves, Exposure) after render finishes without re-rendering—a massive time saver.
- *Save your .visopt files: Once you find a perfect render setting, save it as a
.visoptfile. Apply it to any new scene instantly. - Clean up Sketchup model: Before rendering, use
Extensions > V-Ray > Cleanupto remove unused materials, lights, and render settings from the file. This reduces file size and prevents conflicts.
- Materials: Convert standard Sketchup colors into realistic, physically-based surfaces. Control diffuse, reflection, refraction, and bump.
- Lights: Manage point lights, spotlights, IES lights, and the crucial V-Ray Sun & Sky system.
- Render Elements: Output passes like Shadow, Reflection, Alpha, and Z-Depth for post-production in Photoshop.
