- Best fit
- Use this when you are an artist, freelancer, or small team that wants a queue for local renders before investing in farm infrastructure.
Workflow
- Export or collect the V-Ray Standalone scene files you want to render, usually .vrscene or .vrs files.
- Confirm that the V-Ray Standalone executable path is configured and valid on the machine that will render.
- Add the scene files to the queue, check output settings, and put jobs in the order they should run.
- Choose the useful safeguards for the job, such as frame range, skip existing frames, resumable rendering, output format, and log review.
- Start the local queue and monitor status, logs, and completed outputs from one dashboard.
