How to Create a White Box or Grey Render in 3DS Max with V-Ray | Archviz Workflow

In this 3DS Max and V-Ray tutorial, I show you two different methods to create a white box (or grey render)—a key step in the architectural visualization workflow.

A white box render (also known as a clay render) is typically used at the start of an archviz project. It allows your client to:

• Focus on the layout and geometry of the scene

• Review the composition and design without being distracted by materials or textures

• Provide early feedback and approval before moving into detailed materials and lighting

This tutorial demonstrates both approaches to creating a grey/white render in V-Ray, making it simple to set up and adapt to your own projects.

Perfect for CGI artists, 3D visualizers, and anyone working in archviz, this method is an essential step before moving into final production.
