This page provides an overview of the V-Ray rendering nodes.

## **Overview**

---

Rendering with V-Ray in Nuke is accomplished through the [VRayRenderer](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VRAYNUKE/pages/110625451) node. To set up a render with V-Ray, simply replace the Nuke ScanlineRender node in any render setup with the VRayRenderer. The node organizes settings for the V-Ray rendering quality and process into several tabs.

In addition to the main rendering node, V-Ray provides additional nodes to assist in the rendering process. These include a [render mask](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VRAYNUKE/pages/110625472), [per-object render settings](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VRAYNUKE/pages/110624956), and [environment overrides](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VRAYNUKE/pages/110625467). Within the V-Ray Menu's Render category, you can also create nodes for [V-Ray Cameras](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VRAYNUKE/pages/110625001) and [Render Elements](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VRAYNUKE/pages/110624997).

## **Nodes**

---

The following nodes can be created from the V-Ray Render category:

- [VRayRenderer](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VRAYNUKE/pages/110625451) - Contains the main settings for V-Ray and the rendering process. An additional Post Translate tab allows users to modify the scene with Python before rendering
- [VRayBackground](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VRAYNUKE/pages/110625467) - Sets up a background image for a rendering. Additionally, separate environment overrides can be specified for GI, Reflection, Refraction.
- VRayCamera - See the [Cameras](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VRAYNUKE/pages/110625001) section for more information.
- VRayDenoiser - See the[ Render Elements](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VRAYNUKE/pages/110624997) section for more information.
- [VRayObjProp](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VRAYNUKE/pages/110624956) - Sets different render settings on a per-object basis. Also includes properties such as primary and secondary visibility, visibility to camera, etc.
- VRayRenderElement - See the[ Render Elements](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VRAYNUKE/pages/110624997) section for more information.
- [VRayTranslator](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VRAYNUKE/pages/110624953) - An advanced exporter for single frame or animated .*vrscene* files.
- [VRayRenderMask](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VRAYNUKE/pages/110625472) - Selects part of the image to render. It is more exact than Render Region and offers more control.
