## VRed Reviews
  ### 1. VRED Review

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2021

**What do you like best about VRed?**

VRED is more advance and it is having simple UI to use the tool. The material library is so advanced, and it gives a realistic feeling after the final render.  The quality of the render is more realistic . When it comes to VR it is easy to connect and easy to explore the model in VR without any hassle.

**What do you dislike about VRed?**

I hope VRED is for internal purposes in a design studio. File becomes heavy after a final process like Material update in 3D model. It isn't easy to share among teams, because of heavy file size.  It is too costly to purchase , Because of this many people don't get a chance to explore the tool

**What problems is VRed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

VR and configurator Helped in may ways in design reviews. No we are not benefiting financially, because of Software cost. Yeah it increased , when it comes to cost it failed to impress client.

**Reviewed by:** Syedazarudeen A. | Digital Designer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 08, 2021

**What do you like best about VRed?**

Realistic Rendering with ray tracing work awesome for rendering the object and the tool is user friendly

**What do you dislike about VRed?**

Process take too much time and it's still need improvement for the process.

**What problems is VRed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are dealing with rendering the Automotive data for presentation to showcase our data to our clients. It's help them to understand the realistic of the data

  ### 3. Very user friendly. Easy to learn and has high flexibility to perform various activities.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 04, 2021

**What do you like best about VRed?**

The autodesh help is a very clear user guide provided for all the instructions required. The real situations are created seamlessly with all the real time reflections and light properties.

**What do you dislike about VRed?**

There are a few terms and words in the software which we might not be familiar with. The user guide could explain each of these terms in detail to give us better understanding.

**What problems is VRed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Currently, we want to identify the intensify of the light falling on a particular object. For this, we are trying to create a plug-in using python. Creating plug-ins is easy in here.

  ### 4. Brilliant software. Really wish it just had 2 more features.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Muhammad K. | Managing Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 17, 2021

**What do you like best about VRed?**

Great UI. Easy to import models as it comes with proper grouping and hierarchy. I also loved that I could easily edit materials.

**What do you dislike about VRed?**

There are two things that I hated the most. 
1) There are no current render farms. Please integrate vred in existing render farms. 
2)  Unable to render on CPU.

**What problems is VRed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Mostly product showcasing and Advertisements.

  ### 5. Very useful tool to demonstrate CMF concept in 3D

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 02, 2021

**What do you like best about VRed?**

Very quick way to demonstrate CMF concept in an interior to show people your proposals

**What do you dislike about VRed?**

Sometimes the data need to be selected manually if they are small pieces, there isn't a smart way for it to identify which pieces of surfaces go together

**Recommendations to others considering VRed:**

Look at the Autodesk tutorial sessions to learn Vred

**What problems is VRed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

To demonstrate an idea or try colours in the right scales and dimensions on a product, and quick and fast way to adjust the proposal, without photoshoping and selecting the parts

  ### 6. VRED an amazing opportunity a great platform for renders

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 05, 2021

**What do you like best about VRed?**

Easy to use although you need a powerful machine to get the best experience from it.

**What do you dislike about VRed?**

I don't like how the basic environment works. I whould love to have access to more basic environments like keyshot

**What problems is VRed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I can do high quality renders in a short time, it's easy to work with the autodesk platform. It allows me to be more productive.

  ### 7. A good software

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 14, 2021

**What do you like best about VRed?**

Can rotate wheels and show motion with the help of its features

**What do you dislike about VRed?**

A little bit complicated the software is

**What problems is VRed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As a Transportation Designer, Vred is a very good software to be used, but the interface should be a little easy

  ### 8. Steep learning curve, Outrageous results.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kenny C. | Technical Consultant, Design, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 05, 2018

**What do you like best about VRed?**

The renders out of VRED are second to none. The quality is astounding. The integration with physical studio setups is top notch and the speed of the VRAY engine is very good. The materials editor is also quite powerful and when integrated with Illustrator you get a great solution for custom textures.

**What do you dislike about VRed?**

The learning curve is extremely steep and the interface is a bit esoteric. The hardware required to use this software regularly is pretty heavy duty (since the render engine is CPU based) - so be prepared to invest in a core-heavy system (e.g. Xeon). Another thing we're not thrilled with is that the updates are fairly frequent (not bad) but they are often gigs and gigs large (bad). 

**Recommendations to others considering VRed:**

Jump in, GET TRAINING, and spend adequate time getting adjusted. The increase in performance based on familiarity is worth the time investment.

**What problems is VRed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use VRED to provide very high resolution, very high quality renders of our digital designs, prior to physical prototypes. You're likely using an in-born renderer for your pre-production work, but VRED has enabled us to create work that looks like magazine spreads long before we ever print or machine the first part. This photo-realistic system has enabled us to visually evaluate parts with our customers digitally allowing us to save money.

  ### 9. Vred

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 25, 2019

**What do you like best about VRed?**

I really liked the quality of the tenders that the program creates. The flexibility of the program to manipulate the environment is super helpful. 

**What do you dislike about VRed?**

Vred is limited with how much how can do within the given environment.

**What problems is VRed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It has benefited me and my colleagues in terms of creating an imagery that is believable.

  ### 10. Awsome rendering software

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Pierre B. | Product Design Student, Design, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2017

**What do you like best about VRed?**

This software can import a wide range of CAD files with just enough settings, it keeps the link to your file, if you edit your CAD, just update it in VRed or adapt tesselation after import.
Vred has a good alternative texture wrapping as UVW, the triplanar. It's like a box wrapping with each directions fully editable.
Environnement and lights can be set precisely without so much difficulties.
You can easily switch between RayTrace and Standard mode to save CPU ressources during basics settings.
Materials are easy to apply, and a standard map named "structure" directly inside every material to make them more realistic.
For the rendering, a large choice of outpass is available, and almost all format can be render.

**What do you dislike about VRed?**

The interface is not so intuitive and panels are a bit difficult to handle with. A second screen is more than recommended.
Final rendering settings are taken from the realtime mode, so you need to activate RealTime Raytracer before start final rendering.

**Recommendations to others considering VRed:**

As other Autodesk software, VRed is a bit difficult to handle at the beginning but really powerful when you start to have some habits.
VRed is like than other softwares of this kind, so if you already know Keyshot or similar, you will be not lost.

**What problems is VRed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I did lot of product rendering with it, but also transport design picture. It's a really good alternative to Vray if you don't want to pass hours and hours to set everything.
