V-Ray 6 for Rhino update 1 available!
V-Ray 6 for Rhino update 1 is officially available for download now and now contains better compatibility with Enscape, enhanced V-Ray Decal, new collaboration features and much more.
What's New
- Better compatibility with Enscape — A seamless transfer of Enscape's exposure, cloud and environment settings.
- Decal cylindrical projection — Apply stickers, labels, or surface imperfections onto cylindrical objects such as bottles, jars, cups, or cans with just a few clicks.
- Decal additive bump — Effortlessly merge surface and decal bumps and bring your product designs to a whole new level of realism. Create lifelike stickers, labels, embossed logos, lettering, or any other bumpy surface.
- Decal displacement — Use V-Ray Decal to add displacement to any surface for even more realistic effects such as cracked walls, rocks, embossed lettering, and more.
- Improved procedural clouds — With the new V-Ray Sky contrails layer you can simulate airplane contrails within your design, expanding the possibilities for realism and artistic expression.
- Enhanced V-Ray material — With the new self-illumination parameters you can easily generate emissive and semi-emissive materials.
- Improved compatibility of V-Ray lights — V-Ray lights now retain changes to their own properties, rather than applying them to the Rhino source, which also improves compatibility with Enscape.
- Access to more assets — Enhance your projects with an even wider selection of pre-made patterns. You can now easily browse and import Enmesh presets from Chaos Cosmos.
- Mesh clipper support — Render intricate cutaways and sections of any mesh object with ease with V-Ray GPU.
- Masking for Lens Effects — Choose specific lights and materials to apply lens effects.
- V-Ray Emissive Material post-processing — Refine V-Ray Light Materials with LightMix and edit self-illuminating objects in your scene even after rendering.
- Panorama image preview — Fine-tune your spherical renders in 360° directly within the V-Ray Frame Buffer.
- Cloud Collaboration visual annotations — Visual annotations to easily communicate your ideas — make use of words, lines, arrows, and many more figures to illustrate what you mean.
- Cloud Collaboration versioning — Upload and share different versions of your files for review and enable a smoother decision-making process.
- Textures and mapping controls — Achieve breathtaking skies and environments with the newly added V-Ray procedural texture components, like sky, gradients and color and texture mixing. Refine the environment projection and texture 2D mapping to your exact specifications.
- Improved lights — All light components now feature a Unit parameter, such as watts or lumens, which enables you to establish real-world light intensity.
- Cloud rendering — You can now export your Grasshopper designs directly for cloud rendering, including all types of animations.
