V-Ray for Maya Perpetual
V-Ray 5 for Maya is the renderer of choice for Maya users looking for the highest quality visual output.
You can also rent V-Ray for Maya annually or V-Ray for Maya monthly.

V-Ray 5 for Maya
V-Ray 5 for Maya is a complete 3D rendering platform for animation and visual effects. Work with composite renders, achieve seamless tiling quickly with V-Ray Proxy node, build Light Path Expressions, and interactively relight a scene using the new V-Ray Frame Buffer.
V-Ray 5 makes your renders look better in less time, using both CPU and GPU resources.
New in V-Ray 5
New Compositor
The new and improved V-Ray frame buffer adds a compositor to help you fine-tune and finish renders. Combine render layers, set blending modes, and adjust colours without going to a separate app.
New V-Ray Proxy Workflow
Improve viewport and render speed with the new V-Ray Proxy node - а simplified single geometry node structure with easy-to-use, rule-based material and visibility assignments.
Light Mix
Now, from a single render, you can create dozens of lighting scenarios. Change the colour and intensity of lights in real-time without having to render again. When you have the look you want, you can save your light mix recipe, send the layers to comp, and update the lights in the scene.
Light Path Expressions
For more control in compositing, construct your own render passes with Light Path Expressions. Create custom expressions or use the timesaving presets to specify the light contributions you want to output.
Stochastic Texture Tiling
Automatically remove texture tiling artifacts with the new Stochastic tiling option on the VRayUVWRandomizer.
ACESCG Colour Space
Select industry-standard ACEScg for rendering with automatic colour space adjustment for textures, dispersion, sun & sky, and light temperature colours.
Texture Randomisation
Add variety to your scene with the new VRayUVWRandomizer map and enhanced VRayMultiSubTex controls.
New Sun And Sky Model
Reproduce the subtleties of twilight when the sun is below the horizon with the new Sun and Sky model.
New Carpaint Material
A new, even more realistic car paint material with enhanced flakes implementation.
Coat Layer
Add reflective coatings directly in the updated V-Ray Material, saving you both material creation and rendering time vs. using Blend material.
Enhanced GPU Rendering
Power up your renders with all-new GPU features, including 2D displacement, support for OSL textures, memory tracking and initial out-of-core implementation to handle your largest scenes.
Material Presets
Save time creating common materials with presets for aluminium, chrome, glass and more. Presets for most used hair colors have also been added.
Sheen Layer
Create soft microfiber fabrics like velvet, satin and silk with the new Sheen options in the updated V-Ray Material.
Extended V-Ray Dirt
Weathered streaks and dirt in crevices are easy with the enhanced V-Ray Dirt, which now employs both ambient and inner occlusion.
Blue-Noise Sampling
Achieve better noise distribution with fewer samples.
