Complete your USD workflow with newly introduced support for MaterialX (MtlX) in V-Ray for Solaris. Now, you can create and render all standard MtlX shading nodes, including the Standard Surface material, ensuring a seamless exchange of shaders across teams and tools.
V-Ray now supports the latest Houdini version, so you can benefit from the many important features that it introduces. Render Hydra Ocean and Feather procedurals, or add light textures or shading networks through Light Filters to achieve the desired effect.
Now you can do even more in V-Ray for Solaris thanks to an enhanced V-Ray Hydra Delegate. We’ve added support for V-Ray Environment Fog and V-Ray Toon. Light Path Expressions have also been powered up with chaining and multiple light tags. Plus, we now support V-Ray post-translate scripts for more advanced pipelines.
Apply V-Ray Fur to Alembic files, utilizing procedurally generated fur for detailed grooms. Leverage asset caching to speed up interactive rendering, getting your iterations as close to real-time as possible. V-Ray Fur now supports displacement and motion blur, simplifying the creation of realistic peach fuzz.
V-Ray now enables material overrides for volumetric effects, allowing you to swiftly and universally replace or modify materials within your scene. With this feature, you can make consistent changes across the entire scene, test and iterate more efficiently, and more.
Illuminate your scenes with complete artistic control over the spread of a light's directional intensity. Add that final touch of magic to your lighting setup.
Create a distinctive and creative aesthetic for your scene with the chromatic aberration post-effect right from the V-Ray Frame Buffer.
Streamline asset creation by consolidating complex shading networks in the V-Ray Material Builder. Gain control over Tri-Planar texture projection with the new Cubic projection option. Plus, better bump map scaling at higher resolutions, improved Light Mix output grouping, and more.
We've simplified the installation process by introducing a single V-Ray build compatible with all major Houdini versions released by SideFX. This saves you time searching for the correct build when a new version is released.
