Since Vray is integrated with modeling software, its configurations are not famous for being the simplest but if you can keep things very simple you can.

Through Vray, you can actually control the resolution and the size of the image, and you can also make render tests with a low resolution, just to check and make sure that the textures, the lights, and the effects are all in perfect harmony. Lighting in Vray is a very important element since it offers the users different kinds of lighting, spots, IES lighting, dome, rectangular lights, and of course sunlight. it is known for its high performance in rendering work because It shows the texture and materials realistically in renders. Vray is a render engine that works as a plugin that can be integrated with 3D packages such as 3ds max Sketchup, Revit, and so on. Animation also benefices from the same options with extra details for the people and the movement of the objects in the animation, it is more realistic now. The latest versions of Lumion are really good, the renders are so close to reality, the quality of the objects and textures is much better, and the sky is more realistic with new different options day and night with stars.

It also gives you the possibility to render pictures, videos, or even 360°panorama pictures. Lumion is made only for rendering not for modeling, it offers a rich library of all kinds of objects, especially external ones, and multiple kinds of textures, effects, and realistic environments (like the desert, mountain, sea…). Lumion has shown a lot of progress in the past few years because, in the beginning, the quality of the renders was low and unrealistic, but still people used it a lot because it’s such an easy software and it guarantees fast results.
