V-Ray 6 for 3ds Max update 2 is officially available for download now and now contains Enscape compatibility, MaterialX and much more.
What's New
- Enscape compatibility — Effortlessly transfer data from Enscape to V-Ray. Fine-tune and add details to transform real-time designs into sophisticated, high-end visualizations.
- MaterialX support — Complete your USD workflow with MaterialX. Now, you can render and seamlessly exchange shaders across teams using different DCCs or switch tools yourself.
- Enhanced USD support — V-Ray now supports the latest official version of Autodesk 3ds Max USD so you can benefit from the latest functionalities and performance improvements.
- Chaos Cloud one-click submit — Submitting your renders to the cloud is now easier and more convenient than ever. With just one click, access Chaos Cloud rendering.
- Faster .vrscene export — Exporting complex scenes containing lots of scattering plug-in data can be time-consuming. Now you can speed up your workflow with up to 20x faster exports.
- Unified V-Ray Lister — Manage all your lights and cameras from a single location. The V-Ray Lister now offers an enhanced user interface. Explore new features for bulk adjustments, filtering, searching, and more.
- V-Ray Enmesh — Tile 3D geometry patterns across objects to create complex surfaces with lots of detail for stunning close-up shots. Enmesh is ideal for creating intricate panels, fences, fabrics, and so much more, and it uses much less memory than displacement or copying by hand
- Faster animation rendering — Render image sequences up to 4x faster with V-Ray GPU. V-Ray now caches bitmaps between animation frames, eliminating the need for reloads, leading to a substantial increase in rendering speed.
- Groups hierarchy — Effortlessly distribute multiple objects in groups or within a hierarchy. With Chaos Scatter, complex distributions are simplified to just a few clicks, streamlining your workflow and enhancing overall efficiency
- Altitude — Create even more realistic scatters by controlling the distribution of objects based on surface height. Achieve natural altitude variance in vegetation, or experiment with the value for your desired look.
- Look at — Boost realism by adjusting the orientation of scattered items—rotate away or toward a selected object. Choose an axis or tweak the Falloff curve for even more creative freedom.
- Chromatic aberration — Elevate your renders with added realism thanks to the new chromatic aberration post-effect, or explore and craft distinctive looks, directly within V-Ray’s Frame Buffer—no third-party applications needed.
- Custom background color — When performing color corrections in the V-Ray Frame Buffer, you can now opt for a solid color background instead of loading an image.
- Chaos Cosmos IES Lights — Illuminate your interiors faster than ever before. Our ever-expanding library of ready-to-render assets, Chaos Cosmos, now lets you import 3D light models, including realistic IES light profiles, in just a few clicks.
