    Yes I've used it. Its pretty simple to get going if you have a vray pro walk you through it, else itll render black (no auto light). You have to use vray cams/lights/materials. But I've learned that the global illumination advanced render engine is just as good, if not better if you get in there and tweak the settings. I generally lower the GI settings to speed up preview renders till the end. I used vary on a project where we used a render farm (rendercore) and had some issues with transferring the vray settings to the renderfarm. Ultimately had to have a tech re-enter all the vray channels from scratch in their end. Pain in the butt.

    If you use net render successfully over your LAN, you'll most likely need the vray license on each box you plan to use... Not sure though. Might be answered with a quick phone call to the vray licensing dept. They're always eager to help a customer.

    In the end, I'd stick with GI unless you're looking for something specific from vray.
