V-Ray for MODO

In the eventuality that you want to render high-definition graphics that you intend to use for video games or in film production, then one alternative to consider is MODO. Not only does it let you customize all details to the very detail, but it is also a professional tool that features numerous professional options.

V-Ray for MODO is a utility that allows you to enhance the results of rendering models and scenes you create via the aforementioned graphical editor.

After a quick setup, you can access the plugin from the MODO menu bar and specify whether you would like to render the image with the extension or via the V-Ray Standalone. The difference between the two options is that the latter enables you to select the output image, type of render engine, define the number of threads as well as other details, such as maximum time per frame or paths per pixel, for example.

The idea behind the plugin is to help you render models and scenes considerably faster while preserving the quality of the frames and overall image. It can help you obtain fast results or by enabling the GPU accelerated rendering.

The highlight of the extension stems from the fact that it provides you with complete control over the creative process. First off, you enhance your rendered scenes by managing the lighting, especially since you have a broad range of light types that you can further enhance by finding the right balance between quality and speed.

The tool allows you to remove noise and create node-based physical materials with multiple layers. As far as the quality of the materials is concerned, it is enough to say that you can add GTR or GGX highlights and generate perfectly smooth edges with amazing reflections.

If you are already using MODO and are satisfied with the results, but would like to boost your productivity and workflow, without compromising on quality, then V-Ray for MODO might be the tool worth trying out.
