Complete Feature List

Real-time Visualization New in V-Ray 5!
V-Ray Vision gives users a realistic real-time view of their model as they develop it. They can rapidly iterate, make better design decisions and communicate more effectively with stakeholders working on the project.
Render-ready 3D assets New in V-Ray 5!
V-Ray comes with a curated asset library — Chaos Cosmos. Users can effortlessly create real-world context for their model’s interior and exterior by adding high-quality entourage from essential categories including furniture, acce- ssories, lighting, vegetation, vehicles and people.
Post-processing inside Revit New in V-Ray 5!
No need for a separate app for compositing or color corrections — they can be handled with V-Ray and saved as presets for future projects.
Sketch ideas with a click New in V-Ray 5!
The new global Contours setting gives a sketch-like look to concepts. They can be applied to the whole model or used selectively to highlight certain objects.
Light Mix New in V-Ray 5!
The new Light Mix feature can be used to experiment with all the light sources in a scene after it’s been rendered. Lights can be grouped, their brightness adjusted and their color changed to find what best fits the space.

Diagrammatic Materials
Easily make scenes look diagrammatic or like a scale models with material presets such as basswood and foam core.
Section Boxes
Render sections easily with full support for Revit's native section boxes.
Denoiser
Automatically removes artifacts and noise, cutting render times with GPU-accelerated denoising.
Aerial Perspective
Add realistic atmospheric depth with aerial perspective and environment fog.
V-Ray Frame Buffer
Fine-tune your render’s color, exposure, and more directly in V-Ray’s frame buffer.
Virtual Reality
Verify designs at 1:1 scale in popular VR headsets like Google Cardboard, Samsung Gear VR, Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.
V-Ray Swarm
New web-based distributed rendering to speed up rendering by using the power of all available desktops and render nodes.
Export to V-Ray Standalone
Export a ready-to-render scene from Revit to V-Ray Standalone.

Highlighted: Chaos Cosmos

Chaos Cosmos, an extensive library of hundreds of render-ready 3D assets. Users can effortlessly create lifelike context for the interior and exterior of their model by adding high-quality objects from essential categories, such as furniture, accessories, lighting, vegetation, vehicles and people.

Searching the objects is easy via the Cosmos browser. The objects are easily placed in the 3D design environment and therefore visible in any viewport. The Cosmos assets are render-ready (material & geometry optimization is therefore not required) and provide high-quality results with V-Ray, V-Ray GPU, V-Ray Vision and Chaos Vantage.

V-Ray for Revit History

New in V-Ray 5 for Revit (February 2021)

Real-time Visualization
V-Ray Vision gives users a realistic real-time view of their model as they develop it. They can rapidly iterate, make better design decisions and communicate more effectively with stakeholders working on the project.
Render-ready 3D assets
V-Ray comes with a curated asset library — Chaos Cosmos. Users can effortlessly create real-world context for their model’s interior and exterior by adding high-quality entourage from essential categories including furniture, acce- ssories, lighting, vegetation, vehicles and people.
Post-processing inside Revit
No need for a separate app for compositing or color corrections — they can be handled with V-Ray and saved as presets for future projects.
Realistic displacement for Revit materials
In V-Ray 5, displacement is not limited to V-Ray materials — it’s an asset of its own that’s easy to apply to native materials.
Sketch ideas with a click
The new global Contours setting gives a sketch-like look to concepts. They can be applied to the whole model or used selectively to highlight certain objects.
New lighting capabilities
The new Light Mix feature can be used to experiment with all the light sources in a scene after it’s been rendered. Lights can be grouped, their brightness adjusted and their color changed to find what best fits the space.
Randomization for realistic textures
The UVW Placement asset randomizes texture coordinates and colors of V-Ray materials to make them appear as they would in the real world. And, with Stochastic Tiling, repeating patterns are a thing of the past.
Single material setup for repeating proxies
In V-Ray for Revit, materials must be assigned every time a proxy is added. With the V-Ray Asset Editor, users can specify the materials once, save them and populate their scene without setting up proxies again.
More creative freedom with the Sun & Sky
Studying a design’s interaction with natural light has never been easier. With more control over the sky generation parameters and access to our improved sky model, sunrises and sunsets will look better than ever.
Coat and Sheen Layers
The V-Ray material is upgraded with two new layers. With the Coat layer, it’s easy to create polished surfaces. Utilizing the Sheen layer quickly produces realistic fabrics such as velvet, satin or silk.
Improved Material Library
The render-ready Material library saves users time with access to over 500 high- resolution 4K textures such as glass, metal, wood and many more.
Dirt & Weathering
Weathering effects can be added to any surface of a model with the improved V-Ray Dirt texture.
