This documentation holds information about the  V-Ray Application Software Development Kit   also known as  V-Ray App SDK  or  V-Ray Application SDK . It is intended for developers interested in integrating V-Ray into new applications or making some other custom software, be it script or web-based, etc. If you are interested in evaluating V-Ray App SDK, fill out the  Evaluation Request  form. The App SDK can't be used to write custom render plugins (i.e. shaders). If you want to write one, you can use the C++ SDK bundled with  V-Ray Standalone ,  V-Ray for 3ds Max  or  V-Ray for Maya .
