Geometry V-Ray provides a number of tools that create geometry loaded in the scene at render time, that does not weigh to the scene.

Clipper – A virtual plane for clipping geometry at render time. Proxy Mesh – Imports geometry from an external mesh file, which is fully loaded only at render time. The geometry is not present in the scene. Instead, it is substituted by preview object that does not take any additional resources to be displayed. Infinite Plane – A virtual plane that always extends beyond the camera view. Fur – Creates simple procedural fur at render time. Proxy Scene – Imports a .vrscene file as a proxy, which is fully loaded only at render time.

V-Ray Settings provide control over the parameters that adjust the rendering process. They can be accessed from the Asset Editor in the Settings tab.

V-Ray Settings are organized in two panels - the main one exposes the default options for scene setup. The default options usually work for many kind of scenes, but if access to more advanced options is needed, the right-hand side panel of the Asset Editor provides
