- Set up an override material. The material is a Vray Light Material. In the color slot put a Vray dirt material. The defaults will do fine for a pass to just accentuate edges and add contrast. If you wan't some really dirty looking stuff you can up the radius to something big (i.e. 4') and put a smoke map (or whatever you want) in the radius mask slot.
- Turn off all the lights in your scene. The easiest way to do that is to turn off all your global switches in the render settings.
- Make sure the Vray Environment Light is turned off.
- Set your environment map to pure white.
- Render!
- Experiment with different settings. Fidgeting with the Vray dirt settings will give a wide variety of results.
GOOD LUCK!
