What’s New?
Enscape compatibility
Effortlessly transfer data from Enscape to V-Ray. Fine-tune and add details to transform real-time designs into sophisticated, high-end visualizations.
MaterialX support
Complete your USD workflow with MaterialX. Now, you can render and seamlessly exchange shaders across teams using different DCCs or switch tools yourself.
Enhanced USD support
V-Ray now supports the latest official version of Autodesk 3ds Max USD so you can benefit from the latest functionalities and performance improvements.
Chaos Cloud one-click submit
Submitting your renders to the cloud is now easier and more convenient than ever. With just one click, access Chaos Cloud rendering.
Faster .vrscene export
Exporting complex scenes containing lots of scattering plug-in data can be time-consuming. Now you can speed up your workflow with up to 20x faster exports.
Unified V-Ray Lister
Manage all your lights and cameras from a single location. The V-Ray Lister now offers an enhanced user interface. Explore new features for bulk adjustments, filtering, searching, and more.
V-Ray Enmesh
Tile 3D geometry patterns across objects to create complex surfaces with lots of detail for stunning close-up shots. Enmesh is ideal for creating intricate panels, fences, fabrics, and so much more, and it uses much less memory than displacement or copying by hand.
Faster animation rendering
Render image sequences up to 4x faster with V-Ray GPU. V-Ray now caches bitmaps between animation frames, eliminating the need for reloads, and leading to a substantial increase in rendering speed.
Groups hierarchy
Effortlessly distribute multiple objects in groups or within a hierarchy. With Chaos Scatter, complex distributions are simplified to just a few clicks, streamlining your workflow and enhancing overall efficiency.
Altitude
Create even more realistic scatters by controlling the distribution of objects based on surface height. Achieve natural altitude variance in vegetation, or experiment with the value for your desired look.
Look at
Boost realism by adjusting the orientation of scattered items—rotate away or toward a selected object. Choose an axis or tweak the Falloff curve for even more creative freedom.
Chromatic aberration
Elevate your renders with added realism thanks to the new chromatic aberration post-effect, or explore and craft distinctive looks, directly within V-Ray’s Frame Buffer—no third-party applications needed.
Custom background color
When performing colour corrections in the V-Ray Frame Buffer, you can now opt for a solid colour background instead of loading an image.
Chaos Cosmos IES Lights
Illuminate your interiors faster than ever before. Our ever-expanding library of ready-to-render assets, Chaos Cosmos, now lets you import 3D light models, including realistic IES light profiles, in just a few clicks.
