Which new features does V-Ray 6 have?

V-Ray 6 for Revit has the following improvements:

V-Ray & Enscape compatibility

With V-Ray 6 it is possible to directly convert real-time scenes from Enscape and make them as photo-realistic as possible. Because Enscape materials, objects, and lights are supported, all design decisions are preserved during the different design stages. This ensures flawless collaboration between designers and visualization experts.

Procedural clouds

Enrich blue skies with exactly the clouds that you envision. The new procedural cloud system is flexible and memory-efficient. You can simulate various cloud conditions and animate their movement when exporting solar studies.

V-Ray Decal

Project unique materials onto any surface and across multiple objects in your model. Create road markings, graffiti, or imperfections, and give them realistic relief using displacement.

Chaos Cloud Collaboration

Sharing work and collaborating with internal and external stakeholders on the cloud is easy. With Chaos Cloud Collaboration you can upload your images and image panoramas straight from the V-Ray Frame Buffer and significantly speed up the review and approval process.

Finite Dome light

Embed your model into an HDR image and adjust the surrounding environment to perfection.
