To demonstrate the ease with which we can use this tool set, let's open up the asset editor and jump into the Settings section. Right at the top, we have a rollout entitled Renderer that gives us the ability to choose the type of rendering algorithms that we want to use, so interactive, progressive, and GPU-accelerated. To turn the interactive option on, all we need to do is flick the switch and both the interactive and progressive options become enabled. Now at this point, we can turn the interactive aspect of V-Ray off, and still be left using the production renderer in progressive mode, but you will notice that we can't have the interactive engine running and turn…
