This includes support for MASH, Bifrost-USD, MayaUSD, as well as your favorite Maya plugins, including Golaem, Massive, Ornatrix, Chaos Phoenix, Yeti, and more. V-Ray for Maya is also compatible with ACEScg, Alembic, OpenVDB, and OpenColorIO industry standards.

Rendering

Automated Shading Sampling

Automated Shading Sampling

V-Ray automatically determines the shading sampling in the scene, so you can spend more time on being creative, without worrying about settings.

Memory Tracking

Memory Tracking

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

Render Output

Render Output

V-Ray supports many single-channel and multi-channel formats, including Deep images.

ACEScg Colour Management

ACEScg Colour Management

When ACEScg is enabled, V-Ray automatically converts the colours of textures, light temperatures, sun and sky, etc. to the correct colour space.

Lighting

Adaptive Lights

Adaptive Lights

Faster and more accurate rendering algorithm that speeds up rendering in scenes with many lights.

Accurate Lights

Accurate Lights

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

Global Illumination

Global Illumination

Choose from ray traced and hybrid global illumination methods for the perfect balance of quality and speed.

Procedural clouds

Procedural clouds

Craft just the right cloudy sky for your environment in just a few clicks with V-Ray Sun and Sky’s new procedural clouds system.

Cameras and Optical Effects

Photorealistic Cameras

Photorealistic Cameras

Real-world camera controls let you work like a photographer. Render images with detailed depth of field and cinematic motion blur.

Point & Shoot Camera

Point & Shoot Camera

Perfect renders are as easy as taking a snapshot with the Automatic Exposure and White Balance settings.

Lens Effects

Lens Effects

Fast and accurate simulation of real-world camera lens effects like bloom and glare with dust and scratches. Available as a Nuke plugin to add directly in compositing.

Virtual Reality

Virtual Reality

Experience your project in virtual reality. Create content for popular VR headsets with 6x1 cubic and spherical stereo camera types.

Materials

Shading Languages

Shading Languages

V-Ray Supports OSL and GLSL shaders, as well as NVIDIA's universal Material Definition Language format.

V-Ray Material Translucency

V-Ray Material Translucency

With built-in volumetric random walk subsurface scattering, it’s easier than ever to render realistic skin, plastic, wax, and more.

V-Ray Toon Shader

V-Ray Toon Shader

Easily create non-photorealistic, cartoon and cel-shading effects.

Material Presets

Material Presets

Save time creating common materials with presets for aluminum, chrome, glass and more.

Textures

Texture Baking

Texture Baking

Create texture maps with all the lighting and material information for your scene objects.

Blue-Noise Sampling

Blue-Noise Sampling

Blue-noise shows less noise but with the same amount of samples. Depth of field and motion blur will appear smoother with less samples.

Bercon Noise

Bercon Noise

Better control in both the noise and fractal type with the V-Ray Bercon Noise Texture.

Texture Randomisations

Texture Randomisations

Add variety to your scene with the new VRayUVWRandomizer map and enhanced VRayMultiSubTex controls.

Geometry

V-Ray Enmesh

V-Ray Enmesh

Create complex surfaces with lots of detail for stunning close-up shots. Start treating geometry like a texture, creating intricate chain mail, car grilles, metal grids, panels, fences, fabrics, and so much more.

Proxy Geometry

Proxy Geometry

Render massive scenes with proxy objects. V-Ray proxies also support layered alembic files and efficiently replace complex scene geometry and load only at render time.

Layered Alembic Support

Layered Alembic Support

Supporting Alembic 1.7 and layers for efficient handling and updating of Alembic data.

Rounded Corners

Rounded Corners

Generate perfectly smooth edges at render-time — with no extra modelling.

Atmospheric & Volumetric Effects

Volume Rendering

Volume Rendering

Render fog, smoke and atmospheric effects that respond correctly to light. Bring in volumes from Houdini, FumeFX, Chaos Phoenix and OpenVDB caches.

Aerial Perspective

Aerial Perspective

Blazing fast simulation of natural-looking skies with realistic atmospheric depth.

Render Elements

Render Elements

Render Elements

Output a complete set of beauty, utility, and matte passes for total control in compositing.

Light Path Expressions

Light Path Expressions

Output any lighting contributions with Light Path Expressions for fine-grained control in compositing. Use boolean operations to easily combine LPEs, or quick start with built-in presets.

Cryptomatte

Cryptomatte

Automatically generate ID mattes with support for transparency, depth of field and motion blur.

Post-Processing

Light Mixing

Light Mixing

Explore different lighting options from a single render. Interactively adjust lights, without re-rendering with the LightMix render element.

Layered Compositing

Layered Compositing

Layer compositor lets you fine-tune your images directly in the V-Ray Frame Buffer — without the need for a separate post-processing app.

Blur and Sharpen in the VFB

Blur and Sharpen in the VFB

Adjust the detail of your renders using the new Blur and Sharpen layers, built right in the V-Ray Frame Buffer, for even more artistic control. And save time with batch image processing.
