V-Ray Next for Rhino Update 2 is officially available for download now. The update for this high-end render plugin for Rhino contains the following improvements:
- RTX Support — Boost the GPU performance with NVIDIA RTX technology (only available with supported hardware).
- Decals support — With support for Decals, you can add images to paintings, signs, screens and more. Decals work with both native and V-Ray materials.
- Proxies with Materials — Import or create a proxy mesh asset and V-Ray will automatically generate a set of material slots, making it easier to manage materials.
- V-Ray for Grasshopper enhancements — A number of improvements including bitmap textures, vertex colors, virtual reality camera types and many more.
- Partial scene export — Export only the current selection as a .vrscene file containing its applied materials, lights and other V-Ray special objects.
- Improved materials — Optimized underlying shading structure of all scene materials, so advanced attributes can now be added or removed without cluttering the material properties.
- Color assistant — Choose the exact color with the right hue, saturation and value variation with the Color Assistant, V-Ray Color Picker's new extension.
- VRscans Tri-planar texture — It’s easy to apply VRscans materials to objects, removing the need for explicit UV mapping.
- Extended script access — The updated V-Ray scripting API provides more options to start a render. You can save and load settings from a .vropt file for even more control over your scene setup.
- Color themes — A new “Bright” color theme is now available for the V-Ray user interface.
