Here is a description of all the covered topics in the self-training program with included code examples for V-Ray App SDK: IntroductionIn this section we give a quick overview of the AppSDK and introduce you to the general topic of photorealistic rendering. UI and VFBThe redesigned V-Ray Frame Buffer (VFB) provides a higher level of post processing adjustments and ability to modify your scene. Render EnginesIn this section we cover the different render engines (or rendering modes) available in V-Ray FundamentalsThis section gives some foundational knowledge about the building blocks of the AppSDK - plugins and events. Basic Camera and GeometryIn this section we'll dive deeply into the different geometry types available in V-Ray. LightingIn this section we'll cover thoroughly (almost) all light types available in V-Ray. Advanced CameraIn this section we'll talk about different advanced functionalities of the camera. Shading MaterialsIn this section we'll cover the most frequently used materials in V-Ray. Shading TexturesIn this section we talk about the most commonly used textures in V-Ray. Dynamic GeometryIn this section we'll cover geometry primitives, which are generated at runtime when necessary and may be discarded to free up memory. AnimationIn this section we'll talk about the animation which one can produce using V-Ray. Render ElementsIn this section we'll cover the render elements (channels) available in V-Ray. SamplingIn this section we talk about Antialiasing in the context of creating Shading/Camera Effects and about the various anti-aliasing filters implemented in V-Ray. Global IlluminationIn this section we'll cover the topic about Global Illumination (GI) - a key part of the photorealistic rendering process - and its related settings. SettingsIn this section we talk about the settings plugins in V-Ray and how to export V-Ray Scene Files (.vrscene) SetupIn this section we'll discuss some topics, which occur during the setup and integration of AppSDK. AdvancedThis section covers advanced functionalities, such as Wrapper Material, Volumetrics, Particle Systems and Texture Baking. OptimizationsIn this section we'll cover possible optimization techniques when integrating AppSDK for different languages. TroubleshootingIn this section we'll discuss some hints how to fix issues, when using AppSDK. Industry-specificIn this section we talk about topics, such as V-Ray Hair Material, V-Ray Fur and cartoon shading.
