V-Ray Utilities 1.0 - Read Me
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Intro
-=-=-
V-Ray Utilities are ment to add functionality to V-Ray for Rhino through V-Ray's newly available scripting capabilities.  These utilities are useful for workflow and integrate V-Ray along side several widely used Rhino commands.


Installation
-=-=-=-=-=-=-
There are 2 files that are used by V-Ray Utilities
1. V-Ray Utilities.rhp (the Rhino Plugin File)
2. V-Ray Utilities.tb (the Rhino Toolbar File)

The Rhino Plug-in file can be anywhere on your harddrive, but it is recommended to put it into the VRayForRhino folder in the Rhino Plugins Directory.  You will need to manually install the plugin which can be done 1 of 2 ways; by draging and droping the rhp file onto an instance of Rhino, or by running the Options command, going to Plugins, clicking Install, and selecting the plugin file.

The plugin file comes with a toolbar that contains its commands.  Again, this file can be anywhere on your computer, but it is recommended to put it in the VrayForRhino folder in the Rhino Plugins Directory. You can install the toolbar by running the Toolbar command, clicking on File, then Open and selecting the toolbar file.  That should load and enable the toolbar collection for V-Ray Utilities.

Documentation
-=-=-=-=-=-=-
There is a documentation PDF that is included within the zip file.  This will give a more detailed explanation of the available commands, what they do, and how to use them.  Please refer to this documentation as it goes through quite abit.  The commands are fairly self explanitory, but this fills in the gaps.
