This page provides information on rendering virtual reality enabled images in V-Ray Cloud.

Overview
V-Ray Cloud supports the rendering of virtual reality enabled images. This page contains all information related to the rendering, viewing and sharing of virtual reality images in V-Ray Cloud.
This feature only works with a 360 VR Spherical Panorama camera. If you scene doesn't have one, it will be placed at random, which may lead to unexpected results.
The VR Cubemap camera is not supported yet.
Submitting a virtual reality enabled render job to V-Ray Cloud
Submitting a virtual reality enabled render job to V-Ray Cloud is done in exactly the same way as an ordinary render job, only with the Virtual Reality option enabled when submitting.
Note that the Animation and Aspect Ratio options become locked when Virtual Reality is enabled. This is because V-Ray Cloud only supports still VR images which require the 2:1 Aspect Ratio.
To submit a VR-enabled render job through command-line, enter the following command:
vcloud job submit --sceneFile="path to .vrscene file" --vr
Viewing and sharing VR images from V-Ray Cloud
Virtual reality images rendered in V-Ray Cloud come with a distinct set of additional options for viewing and sharing the output of your renders. They can be accessed from the Job Details page of a completed VR-enabled render job.
The button enters full screen mode. While in full screen, you can hold the left mouse button, and move around, to fully preview the VR image.
The button generates a QR code and a shareable download link, both of which grant free access to the VR image, accessible from any mobile device.
You can copy the link using the button, or scan the QR code with any compatible mobile application. This will open the responsive web page where the completed VR image can be previewed on all viable Virtual Reality headsets.
