The confusion seemed to stem mostly from the fact that both could render in an interactive manner even though they did differ significantly in a number of key areas. So firstly V-Ray RT was a completely separate render engine as V-Ray GPU still is whilst the IPR mode in V-Ray was just that, an alternative operating mode of the V-Ray CPU engine. And of course, secondly, because it was a separate renderer RT worked by exporting the scene or translating it for rendering. Whereas the IPR mode in V-Ray rendered the scene directly with no translation required making it the…
