V-Ray Scene Exporter

General

The .vrscene file format is an ASCII file that can be exported from 3dsMax. It contains information about the geometry, lights and shaders in the scene and can be rendered with the V-Ray Standalone. Additionally the file can be used to transfer shaders from 3dsMax to Maya. To bring out the V-Ray Scene Exporter dialgoue right click in the view port and select .vrscene export for a single frame or .vrscene animation export to export an entire animation.
