Use the innovative GeomGaussians plugin to render complex real-world 3D objects and environments or to seamlessly integrate a UI preview of them in your application.The Gaussian splats technique enables memory-efficient scene reconstruction with realistic reflections and refractions. Using V-Ray 7’s powerful ray tracing capabilities you can now effortlessly blend Gaussian splats of real-life captured environments together with computer-generated objects.

Create vibrant, richly saturated blue skies and realistic sunsets with the updated PRG Sky model. This improved model supports a wider range of sun angles, high-altitude adjustments, turbidity controls, and natural lighting for nautical twilight, providing unparalleled realism and creative freedom in your scenes.

This enhanced version of the Plugin Categories API allows for easy access to plugin groups with common features like Lights, Materials, Textures, Geometries, etc. With added methods for C++ and .NET, and completely rewritten implementations in Python and Node.js, this update brings more functionality and intuitive access to your workflow.

V-Ray AppSDK now supports ARM 64-bit architecture on Linux, unlocking new opportunities for high-performance rendering across a wider range of hardware.

Stay up-to-date with support for Python 3.12 and Node.js 20, ensuring compatibility with the latest development environments.

Enjoy a host of additional enhancements, including:

• Improved rendering speeds for faster project delivery, with a new algorithm that automatically detects and removes bright pixels (fireflies)
• Metal support for macOS for superior performance.
• OpenPBR-compliant V-Ray Material for streamlined material workflows.
• Powered-up GPU rendering: Experience faster time to first pixel, resulting in quicker rendering and improved visual quality. V-Ray GPU now supports caustics rendering, delivering realistic reflections and refractions, along with other optimizations for scatter and texture-heavy scenes.
