What's New in V-Ray 6 for Maya

Extended USD Support
Work natively with USD to exchange information between DCC tools. Load and edit large amounts of data in no time.

ACEScg Colour Management
For colour-accurate workflows, ACEScg has become the new standard for professional production. When ACEScg is enabled, V-Ray automatically converts the colors of textures, light temperatures, sun and sky, etc. to the correct colour space.

Ready To Render Assets
Chaos Cosmos is a free library of high-quality V-Ray content to help bring your scenes to life. With a collection of high-resolution materials, beautiful HDR environments, and render-ready 3D models such as plants, trees, bushes, and more, Chaos Cosmos is a great resource for your next project.

Debug Shading
Render isolated textures and materials in large shading networks in IPR.

Memory Tracking
Easier to optimise your scene with new memory usage reports for textures and objects for V-Ray and V-Ray GPU.

Accurate Lights
Render natural, artificial and image-based lighting with a wide range of light types, shapes and controls.

V-Ray Material Translucency
Create true translucent materials with the updated V-Ray Material. Now with built-in volumetric random walk subsurface scattering, it’s easier than ever to render realistic skin, plastic, wax, and more.

Physical Hair Material
Render more realistic-looking hair with accurate highlights and glint and glitter controls.
