KEY FEATURES
HIGHLY-OPTIMIZED CPU RENDERING INCREDIBLY FAST GPU RENDERING ACCURATE LIGHTS GLOBAL ILLUMINATION
Render high-quality, high-resolution images and animations with V-Ray’s adaptive ray tracing technology.
Fine tune the look of your scenes in real time with the power of GPUs. Build materials, dial in cameras, and adjust lights interactively in the viewport.
Simulate any type of natural, artificial, or image- based lighting. With area lights, sun & sky and IES lights, you can render artistically – and accurately.
Choose from several global illumination options – exact, approximate or a hybrid of both.
PHOTOREAL CAMERAS PHYSICALLY-BASED MATERIALS MEMORY-EFFICIENT TEXTURES DYNAMIC GEOMETRY
Work like a photographer. Real-world camera controls let you capture images with detailed depth of field and cinematic motion blur.
Create any type of physical material. From multilayered car paint to accurate subsurface scattering, you can make any material imaginable.
Work with production-ready, multiresolution tiled textures from your favorite applications, like MARI, Mudbox and Zbrush.
Render massive scenes with proxy objects. V-Ray proxies efficiently replace complex scene geometry and load only at render time.
V-RAY FRAME BUFFER VRSCANS MATERIAL LIBRARY HAIR & FUR VOLUMES
SUPPORT
Review, analyze and post process your renders directly in V-Ray’s advanced frame buffer. You can be sure your images will match your final output.
400+ scanned materials. Import and render directly in V-Ray.
Render realistic hair efficiently and flicker-free. V-Ray includes procedural fur, optimized hair shaders, and supports 3ds Max Hair&Fur, HairFarm and Ornatrix.
Render fog, smoke and atmospheric effects that respond correctly to light. Bring in volume grid caches from Houdini, FumeFX and PhoenixFD.
RENDER ELEMENTS VARIANCE-BASED ADAPTIVE AUTOMATIC SAMPLING V-RAY DENOISER
SAMPLING
37 unique beauty, utility and matte passes give you more control over your rendered images for compositing.
Get cleaner renders with better noise detection.
Save time with automatic sampling of lights and materials.
Automatically remove noise and cut render times by up to 50%.
NEW SKY MODEL & AERIAL VR & SPECIALTY CAMERAS TRIPLANAR MAPPIING ROUNDED CORNERS
PERSPECTIVE
Simulate natural looking skies with realistic atmospheric depth.
Experience your project in virtual reality. Create content for popular VR headsets, like Samsung Gear VR, with 6x1 and spherical stereo camera types.
Quickly apply seamless textures without UVs.
Generate perfectly smooth edges at render-time with no extra modeling.
SPECIALTY GEOMETRY CLIPPER W/ RENDER-TIME BOOLEANS
Create unique geometry like infinite planes, metaballs and isosurfaces, particles and object cutaways with render-time booleans.
Create complex cutaways and sections using any mesh object.
