V Ray RT features interactive rendering technology based on the architecture of its widely popular V Ray rendering engine. I am thinking of trying out the demo but wanted to post this video in case anyone is interested. This looks like a fantastic time saver for setting up a lighting theme in Max.

That’s not true, I chose to model in Autocad. I come from a generation that autocad was the be all, end all. 3dmax was just this program [...]
