V-Ray ships with several type of light sources, some versatile and some more oriented to studio lighting:
the V-Ray_rect_light is an area light for soft boxes or reflectors simulation as the V-Ray_IES_light simulates accurately a specific brand of incandescent light bulb or fluorescent neon. Any mesh object can emit light with the V-Ray mesh light
NOTE: please watch “vr_color_management_pt2_tone_mapping” tutorial next for dealing with inevitable overexposure issues.

VR032 - vr_materials_pt1
The V-Ray_mtl is the most versatile shader available, it simulates most of the materials around us: dielectric like concrete, wood, glass, wax, plastic and conductive like brushed metal, gold and a lot more. Part 1 focuses on the diffused lighting components and the reflective components: reflect...

Metal simulations will be talked about with anisotropy, surface perturbations techniques such as bump,
normals and displacement using 8-bits and 32-bits bitmap textures. In the second part of the tutorial, we’ll how to replace the simplistic and boring light sources specular with reflectors. -

The sometimes misunderstood rim light role is double: it is a separation light that increase the depth of the picture but as well create a cinematic feel that had been used and abused till the dawn of filmmaking. The concept applies to CGI but has to be adapted and revise with CGI.
