  1. Limitations and Responsible Use
  • Native V-Ray material nodes and compatibility with the V-Ray Scripting API for batch material assignment.
  • Prebuilt Scene Presets: typical construction stacks (drywall + paint, plaster + render, insulation + cladding) to accelerate look development.
  • GPU/CPU parity: quality-preserving fallbacks to ensure consistent results across V-Ray GPU and CPU renderers.
  • Iteration Strategy
