If you don’t win a category in this year’s awards, you can get your own license for the V-Ray Education Collection so you can experiment with new software and level up your skills across multiple platforms. And it’s affordable: The collection offers an 86% saving on buying all the licenses individually. In fact, the V-Ray Education Collection only costs slightly more than a single license.
