Once you have V-Ray installed, you can jump in and start creating renders using some of our Quick Start guides for first-time V-Ray users.    VFB: Layers In this quick-start tutorial, we explore how to work with the new  Layers  panel of  V-Ray Frame Buffer . The Layered compositor provides a new powerful workflow for making adjustments to our rendered image. Here, we'll learn how to create and modify layers as well as how to work with layer presets.     VFB: Render History In this quick-start tutorial, we go over the basic functionalities that the Render History panel in  V-Ray Frame Buffer  provides. We learn how to make V-Ray VFB keep a history of previously rendered images as well as how to compare them.     VFB: Light Mix In this third quick-start tutorial, we cover how to use  LightMix  in the  V-Ray Frame Buffer  to freely experiment with lighting changes after we render, save out permutations, and push back improvements we'd like to have in our scene. With LightMix, its possible to change a light's intensity and even hue from within the VFB. With this reimagined workflow, it’s possible to use white lights and then adjust settings to dramatically change the look and feel of the scene.       VFB: BackToBeauty Compositing In this quick-start tutorial, we learn how to use the  VRayBackToBeauty  render element with the  V-Ray Frame Buffer . Let's see how the render element creates a folder in  Composite  named BackToBeauty, containing all elements with the appropriate blend modes, as well as how easy it is to make modifications and create presets.
