V-Ray 5 helps you save time and make your renders look even better.

What's New - V-Ray 5 for 3ds Max

• Light Mixing
  Explore lighting possibilities interactively in real-time. Use LightMix in the new V-Ray Frame Buffer to freely experiment with lighting changes after you render, save out permutations, and push back improvements you’d like to have in your scene.
• Layered Compositing
  The new Layer compositor lets you fine-tune and finish your images directly in the new V-Ray Frame Buffer — without the need for a separate post-processing app.
• Material Manager
  Efficiently browse from a library of over 500 render-ready materials including metals, glass, wood and more.
• Material Presets
  Save time creating common materials with presets for aluminum, chrome, glass and more.
• Material Previews
  New rendered material swatches show you exactly what your materials will look like.
• Coat Layer
  Add reflective coatings directly in the updated V-Ray Material, saving you both material creation and rendering time vs. using Blend material.
• Sheen Layer
  Create soft microfiber fabrics like velvet, satin and silk with the new Sheen options in the updated V-Ray Material.
• Texture Randomization
  Add variety to your scene with the new VRayUVWRandomizer map and enhanced VRayMultiSubTex controls.
• Stochastic Texture Tiling
  Automatically remove texture tiling artifacts with the new Stochastic tiling option on the VRayUVWRandomizer.
• Extended V-Ray Dirt
  Weathered streaks and dirt in crevices are now easy with the enhanced V-Ray Dirt, which now employs both ambient and inner occlusion.
• New Sun and Sky Model
  Reproduce the subtleties of twilight when the sun is below the horizon with the new Sun and Sky model.
• Light Path Expressions
  Use the behavior of light, rather than just geometry, to produce flexible masks for very efficient compositing. Built-in presets make getting started easy, while scripting is there for ultimate control.
• Blue-Noise Sampling
  Achieve better noise distribution with fewer samples.
• Native ACEScg Support
  Select industry-standard ACEScg for rendering with automatic color space adjustment for textures, dispersion, sun & sky, and light temperature colors.
• Initial Out-of-Core
  Initial out-of-core implementation to handle your largest scenes.
