Renderers

Iray for 3ds Max has two renderers, Iray+ and Iray+ Interactive. Iray+ renderer delivers the best results, and is a good choice as your production renderer. Iray+ Interactive allows easier navigation within your scene, and images resolve faster; this is a good choice for an ActiveShade renderer. Iray+ also contains a Lighting Analysis mode which allows you to simulate and monitor the minimum and maximum lighting levels in your scene.
