Free V-Ray Scene: Gemstone Figurine with VRayMtl Translucency (Chaos)

Overview

Start and final scene files from the official Chaos V-Ray for 3ds Max documentation tutorial on making a gemstone figurine, saved in 3ds Max 2018 format. The tutorial builds a green gemstone material with the VRayMtl translucency modes, looks at how translucency interacts with reflection glossiness, and sets GI to 16 or more bounces with camera depth of field for the CPU render; reference images were rendered with V-Ray for 3ds Max 2022 update 1.3.

The scenes are shared as a zip via a Google Drive link on the documentation page, free and without signup. A useful study file for learning VRayMtl translucency for glass-like or jewel materials.
