This page provides information about the Viewport Interactive Rendering in V-Ray for Cinema 4D.
Overview
The Viewport Interactive Rendering (IPR) allows changes to the scene to be rendered in real time. V-Ray's IPR allows you to preview the scene as it would look when it is rendered, while at the same time having editing capabilities.
UI Path: ||Viewport menu|| > V-Ray > Viewport Interactive Rendering

Workflow
- To start an interactive render, click on V-Ray > Viewport Interactive Rendering button. V-Ray immediately starts the viewport interactive render. Any changes are reflected instantly in the render.
- Keep in mind that only the Render View window can have viewport IPR. To set a viewport as Render View, in that viewport go to View > Use as Render View.


- If you are not concerned with previewing small details, we recommend reducing the Resolution of the Viewport IPR, to save processing power. You can find the resolution options in the viewport V-Ray menu.

- You can add and choose a denoiser engine to apply to the viewport interactive. You can choose between Intel or Nvidia denoising. For more information on the denoising engines, see the Denoiser in the Common tab of the V-Ray Render Settings. By default, the denoiser is set to Intel.
