[Vray] BRDF vs standard Materials

Hi,

Is it compulsory to choose BRFD materials in order to use and have better realistic effects with the Vray renderer or the same can be achieved with teh standart materials.

Regards,

Hello! I personally only use standard materials with Reflection/Emissive/Refraction layers applied to them and my renderings are good. Never used BRDF. It’s not compulsory.

It 's quite interesting for what they are, if the same effects can be achieved with standart materials, then I believe they are for backward comaptibility kept somehow by chaosgroup in the vray engine?
