V-Ray render queue for macOS

A local macOS workflow for queueing V-Ray Standalone renders with a notarized desktop app.

Who this is for
Mac users who need a V-Ray render queue.
Best fit
Use this on Apple Silicon or Intel Macs where you want a visual queue rather than shell scripts.

Workflow

  1. Export or collect the V-Ray Standalone scene files you want to render, usually .vrscene or .vrs files.
  2. Confirm that the V-Ray Standalone executable path is configured and valid on the machine that will render.
  3. Add the scene files to the queue, check output settings, and put jobs in the order they should run.
  4. Choose the useful safeguards for the job, such as frame range, skip existing frames, resumable rendering, output format, and log review.
  5. Start the local queue and monitor status, logs, and completed outputs from one dashboard.

Where it fits

V-Raykally provides a macOS desktop workflow and is distributed as an Apple-notarized app.

  • macOS support
  • Apple notarization
  • Local V-Ray path setup

This is for local V-Ray Standalone queues. It does not provide worker provisioning, central asset sync, accounting, cloud bursting, or facility-wide scheduling.

FAQ

How do I queue V-Ray renders on macOS?

Install V-Ray Standalone, configure its executable path, add exported V-Ray scene files to V-Raykally, and run the queue locally on your Mac.

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.
