Easily place buildings in context or create and render complex 3D environments in no time, thanks to game-changing Gaussian splat support. Fill your scenes with real-world scanned objects that are memory-efficient and rich in detail.
Effortlessly create Panorama Virtual Tours by generating all tour hotspots automatically, thanks to the direct integration between V-Ray 7 and Chaos Cloud - no manual setup required. Seamlessly manage client expectations and iterations, enabling immersive, interactive presentations and reducing back-and-forth communication.
Refine and render specific parts of your scene by defining custom-shaped regions in the VFB without needing third-party apps or unnecessary re-rendering. Create multiple regions in any shape and focus precisely on the areas you want to fine-tune.
Easily apply the vignette camera effect in your renders with the new, highly flexible Vignette Layer in the VFB. Customize its shape and apply it to any element of your render for precise, tailored results.
Fine-tune your scatters and apply the final artistic touch with the new Chaos Scatter brushing technique. Easily populate instances and add extra detail where needed, or quickly remove unwanted scattered objects.
Easily choose and switch between different density styles for a given distribution area with the new Chaos Scatter distribution maps library. Achieve a realistic look for your scene or experiment with instance distribution at an unprecedented speed.
Save time with quicker exports of scatter-heavy scenes when submitting to Chaos Cloud or V-Ray render farms. Only scatter settings are exported to the new V-Ray Standalone Scatter Plugin, reducing .vrscene size and speeding up the export.
With support for complex light fixture assets available in our ever-growing Chaos Cosmos library of ready-to-render assets, you can now easily achieve more realistic lighting for your interior and exterior scenes.
Create more realistic still images and immersive animations with the improved PRG sky model, which now supports nautical twilight. Additionally, it allows you to render the sky at various observer altitudes, reaching up to several kilometers.
Get reports on the time spent calculating shaders and volumes, exporting scenes, compiling geometry and displacement, loading bitmaps, and more. Locate all hot spots in your scene and optimize pipelines for even faster rendering. Pair with the Memory Tracker for even more data.
V-Ray Lister just got even more powerful with a new tab for managing and tweaking V-Ray geometry objects (V-Ray Fur, Decal, Clipper and more).
V-Ray Lister has also been updated to provide an enhanced browsing experience. We've introduced filtering options for easier settings management, the ability to control multiple V-Ray geometry objects directly in the lister, an easier way to load or replace external files, and even more improvements.
Experience faster GPU and interactive rendering with faster time to first pixel, thanks to optimizations in rendering scenes using Chaos Scatter or third-party scattering plugins, texture-heavy scenes, scene data upload to GPU and geometry compilation optimizations.
V-Ray GPU now supports caustics rendering, enabling realistic reflections and refractions. It uses Photon Mapping and is optimized to fully utilize GPU resources, delivering significantly faster performance compared to CPU rendering.
Render texture-heavy scenes even more efficiently with a new implementation of out-of-core textures. Add incredible detail to your scenes without sacrificing shading quality, as textures are now only limited by RAM.
