Texture Randomizationįor more realistic textures and materials, artists can now add more variety and subtle imperfections with the new VRayUVWRandomizer map and improved VRayMultiSubTex controls. New controls have also been added to allow users to easily customize the sun position.

Improves accuracy when the sun is at the horizon, including the magic hours right before sunrise and after sunset. Line RenderingsĮasily create line renderings of any project using simple material overrides. New controls for aging materials with procedural streaks have been added to the VRayDirtMtl. Built-In Bump LayerĪ built-in parameter section will now allow users to adjust bump attributes. Sheen LayerĮasily simulate fabrics like velvet, satin and silk. Gain extra reflections on surfaces without using blend materials. Texture resolutions have also been increased to 4K. The popular V-Ray material library has been expanded and upgraded with V-Ray 5’s new layering controls and texture randomization features. For extra control, render layers can be combined using the Layer Compositor to create more nuanced designs, or even saved as presets for later use. Image adjustments like exposure control, color balance and color corrections can also be added, replacing the need for external image editing tools. With Light Mix, users can interactively change the color and brightness of any light without rendering again, creating multiple lighting scenarios from a single render. The redesigned V-Ray Frame Buffer (VFB) now includes some of V-Ray 5’s most user-friendly features, making it easy to bring a personal touch to any rendering. Each preset also factors in real-world lighting conditions, so new lights blend perfectly as they are added by the user. Light Gen will automatically generate dozens of physically based lighting variations for each project, helping it illuminate exteriors and interiors using V-Ray’s Sun & Sky system and a wealth of included HDRI images.

With the new Light Gen tool, SketchUp users can rapidly explore a variety of lighting possibilities and select the best look for their scene. Incredibly fast, V-Ray Vision can also quickly snapshot images or output animated sequences, allowing users to share their work with stakeholders. Whether designers want to move their model, apply materials or set up lights and cameras, V-Ray Vision will display it all in the moment, offering a real-time view of the scene that updates as you work. V-Ray Vision was designed to serve everything that comes before a final render, helping users work through new ideas and client feedback before they move on to total photorealism.
