KEY FEATURES of V-Ray Next for Rhino:
RENDERING
CPU, GPU AND HYBRID RENDERING
V-Ray comes with two powerful rendering engines. You can choose between GPU and CPU or Hybrid rendering to best suit your project needs and requirements.
DENOISER
Easy to set up and use to refine settings, even after you render. Automatically remove noise and cut render times by up to 50%
INTERACTIVE RENDERING
Render while you design. See results right away as you adjust lights, materials and cameras.
Matus Nedecky Sydney Architecture© Matus Nedecky
Render separate layers for more artistic control in image-editing software.
V-Ray Swarm
Render with maximum power using V-Ray’s new simple and scalable distributed rendering.
ANIMATIONS
V-Ray for Rhino enables light studies, turntables and fly-through animations rendering and an optimal way.
V-RAY FOR GRASSHOPPER
V-Ray for Grasshopper is now quicker and simpler with new preset lighting and material setups. Grasshopper objects can be rendered directly as part of the Rhino scene without baking geometry.
CHAOS CLOUD
Rendering on the Cloud is just one click away.
LIGHTING
ADAPTIVE LIGHTS
In scenes with many lights, Adaptive Lights mode can help you speed up render times by up to 700%.
LIGHT INSTANCES
Lights can be instanced and controlled as a single light in the Asset Editor.
V-Ray for Rhino Global Illumination© Gund Partnership
Render realistic rooms and interiors with V-Ray’s powerful and fast global illumination.
V-Ray for Rhino Accurate Lights© Federico Fernandez
ACCURATE LIGHTS
Render natural and artificial lighting with a wide range of built-in light types.
V-Ray for Rhino Environment Lighting
Light your scenes with a single high-dynamic-range image (HDRI).
V-Ray for Rhino Sun & Sky
Render realistic daylight for any time and any location.
UI
SMART UI
Simple and intuitive interface for an easy, quick and user-friendly workflow.
FILE MANAGER
Manage all of your scene files in one place. Set file paths, create scene archives, and keep track of assets like textures, IES files, and proxy objects.
V-RAY COLOR PICKER
New color picker allows you to select color values in Screen sRGB (0–255) or Rendering (0.0–1.0) color space.
V-Ray for Rhino Frame Buffer
Track your render history and fine-tune colors, exposure, and more directly in the V-Ray Frame Buffer.
CAMERA
V-Ray for Rhino Real-World Cameras
Work like a photographer with controls for exposure, white balance and depth of field.
V-Ray for Rhino Virtual Reality
Render VR content for popular virtual reality headsets.
INTERACTIVE LENS EFFECT
Instantly add GPU-accelerated glare and bloom for added photorealism. Fine-tune lens effects interactively while you render.
MATERIALS & TEXTURES
PHYSICAL MATERIALS
Create great looking materials that look exactly like the real thing.
V-Ray for Rhino Detailed Textures
PROCEDURAL TEXTURES
Texture NURBS models with ease with a rich set of procedurals that don’t requre UV unwrapping.
NATIVE MATERIALS SUPPORT
Render an enhanced version of your Rhino materials without converting them to V-Ray shaders.
V-Ray for Rhino Material Library
Select from over 1000 drag and drop materials to speed up your next project.
ATMOSPHERIC & VOLUMETRIC EFFECTS
FOG
Give your scenes depth with new realistic 3D fog and light scattering effects.
V-Ray for Rhino Aerial Perspective
Add depth to your images with realistic atmospheric effects.
VOLUMETRIC MATERIALS
Realistic material light scattering and translucency.
GEOMETRY MANAGEMENT
V-Ray for Rhino Proxy Objects
Add highly detailed and complex objects like grass, trees, and cars with memory-efficient proxy models. Easily add pre-animated 3D objects with animated V-Ray proxies.
PROXY PREVIEWS
Control the look of V-Ray proxies in the Rhino viewport. Select from Whole mesh, Bounding box, Point (Origin), Custom preview, and a new low poly Proxy preview mode.
DISPLACEMENT
Quickly add surface detail without extra modeling. It’s perfect for architectural materials like brick and stone.
Grass & Fur
Create realistic grass, fabrics and carpet with V-Ray Fur.
V-Ray for Rhino Section Cuts
Render quick cutaways and cross sections with V-Ray Clipper.
V-RAY SCENE IMPORT & EXPORT
Import and render V-Ray scenes from other applications such as 3ds Max, Revit, and SketchUp or share complete ready to render V-Ray for Rhino files
