Getting access to VRay Python SDK


I'm developing some Python scripts to read/parse/process some .vrscene files.

From others' examples, I can see that there is a Python SDK for VRay called vrayutils.

I want to get this information from the SettingsOutput object.

From a .vrscene file I want to get the total frame numbers.

Does anyone know where I can get that Python library or how I can call it?


Solution

  • I was able to do some of the things by parsing the file using basic Python and then extracting the things I needed.

    The V-Ray API has a proprietary license, and there is no open source way to access the .vrscene

    I decided to try with a trial version of the SDK, and by using the SDK you will be able to find a nice Python build wrapped with a bunch of examples within the V-Ray Application SDK.

    The price is 1250 euro annually for a single development license (for one server node).

    Support is included.

    They can give you a preliminary evaluation version for 3 months under NDA (What I used).

    No reverse engineering is permitted so if you are planning to develop over V-Ray you should buy it.
