- Who this is for
- Users planning render nodes, local machines, or future farm expansion.
- Best fit
- Use this when it is unclear whether you need more licensing, a farm manager, or simply a local queue first.
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.
Where it fits
V-Raykally helps validate the local V-Ray Standalone path and queue behavior before a team invests in larger render infrastructure.
- Local validation first
- Clear boundary before farm expansion
- V-Ray Standalone focus
This page is not licensing advice. Users should confirm current Chaos licensing terms before buying or deploying render nodes.
FAQ
What licenses do I need for a V-Ray render farm?
Licensing and render node requirements depend on the Chaos product and setup. For one local queue, start by confirming V-Ray Standalone runs correctly on the machine that will render.
Is this a cloud render farm?
No. V-Raykally is designed for local V-Ray Standalone queues on the artist workstation or a local render machine.
What kind of V-Ray files does this workflow target?
The workflow targets V-Ray Standalone scene files such as .vrscene and .vrs, with output and frame options handled around the local V-Ray executable.
