V-Ray 6 for SketchUp update 2 is officially available for download now and now contains scattering features for easy scene setup, seamless .vrscene imports from various applications, and faster job submissions to Chaos Cloud..
What's New
- More V-Ray Scatter capabilities — Populate your scenes with grass, trees, rocks, and light sources in a few clicks. The updated Scatter tool introduces new scattering modes along grids, curves, and within volumes, as well as area modifiers so you can limit the scatter area. Plus, you’ll find more transformation settings for finer control over your scattered objects.
- Chaos Cosmos IES lights import — Cosmos assets with built-in IES light sources are importable and ready for rendering, offering expanded lighting choices from Cosmos.
- VFB improvements — Enhance your editing experience with a number of enhancements to the VFB (V-Ray Frame Buffer). The new Chromatic Aberration effect adds color distortion similar to real-world lens imperfections, giving your projects subtle realism. Easily create folders within the layers stack for easier navigation. Quickly create simple backgrounds with the new plain color in the Background layer.
- Improved viewport materials — Do you ever use SketchUp viewport screenshots for presentations? Now, you can display procedural textures and their corrections within the viewport, enabling a better design and presentation process.
- Better V-Ray scene import — Experience a more seamless .vrscene import process from Enscape and other applications. The UI for materials and textures not originally designed for V-Ray in SketchUp has been upgraded significantly. Additionally, scenes created in Enscape import faster thanks to an improved approach to handling texture buffers.
- V-Ray GPU - Enmesh support —GPU users can now take advantage of V-Ray Enmesh, the perfect tool for tiled geometric patterns.
- One-click to Chaos Cloud — Enjoy a much more intuitive and faster workflow for rendering scenes on Chaos Cloud in the click of a button.
