But V-Ray seems to be a more well-known program in the rendering world and, therefore, has more online tutorials.

If you’re trying to figure it out by yourself, it takes a lot more trials and errors to get a desired outcome than Flamingo. Many of the labels for the different settings aren’t easily recognizable for the exact task they perform. V-Ray, on the other hand, takes a little more understanding than Flamingo. It seems to lay everything out in a way that even the newest user can figure out for decent renderings. However, if you’re determined to figure it out on your own, the Flamingo interface is more user-friendly. I think that with the right tutorials and knowledge either program can make a really good rendering.

With the help of the Flamingo tutorial I learned a lot about different kinds of lights (spotlights, point lights, etc.) and how to edit them to make the space look how you wanted it to. I had only ever used rendering for exterior perspectives or interior perspectives looking outside to the surrounding site. I found an interior lighting tutorial online that took me through the steps of how to use interior lights and I made a night rendering of my space. For our rendering assignment, I used Flamingo and found that although the quality might not be as good sometimes, it was easier to understand how to change settings than in V-Ray.

Like I said, I’ve used both equally but don’t know all that much about either. Rhino has two plug-ins that I go back and forth between using: Flamingo, which is specifically designated for Rhino, and V-Ray.
