Vray is created by Chaosgroup, a European company based in Bulgaria. For example Vray adds its own materials and textures, light types, a fur generator, a toon style effect, displacement modifier, frame buffer, effects, etc. Most of Vray's features can be found in the render setup dialog (F10), but many other additions are distributed across the complete program. For example it is possible to create this material in Vray for 3DSMax and then use the same material in Vray for Rhino, Vray for Maya and etc.

This tutorial is made with Vray for 3dsMax, but the plugins for the other packages are generally very similar. VRmats/VISmat materials are going to be universal materials which will allow Vray users to use the same material in different platforms. Please check out the Chaosgroup website for information on compatibility and pricing. Currently, Vray exist for 3D Studio Max, Maya, Rhinoceros 3D, Sketchup, Softimage, Blender and there's even a standalone version available. Vray's features mainly aim at creating photorealistic images, together with improving rendering speed. It's a plugin, which means that it adds functionality to an existing program. It is an extension to 3DS Max, not a replacement!
