V-Ray for Revit - Real-time and photoreal rendering

• 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.
• Design-Friendly Interface
  Quickly balance quality and speed with V-Ray for Revit’s render presets. Work in draft mode for early iterations and switch to high quality for presentations.
• Interactive Rendering
  Render interactively while you design. Fine-tune lights and materials and see the results right away in the real time preview.
• Physically-Based Lighting
  Accurate options for IES and HDR image-based lighting, as well as support for Revit Sun and Sky.
• Real-World Cameras
  Simulate photographic cameras from Revit’s native camera views.
• Physical Materials
  Automatically convert Revit materials to V-Ray’s physically-correct format. Fine-tune material properties using the V-Ray Material Editor.
• 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.

• 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.

• New Asset Editor
  Create, edit, save and manage your V-Ray materials all in one place with the new Asset Editor.
• Appearance Manager
  Set basic Revit assets to automatically switch to more realistic V-Ray assets at render time.
• Randomize proxy objects
  Add variety to your scene entourage by randomizing the scale and rotation of V-Ray Proxy and V-Ray Scene instances.
• V-Ray Scene linking

  Easily visualize real-world illumination values (lux) with the new Lighting Analysis render element.
• Revit Decals
  Add images to paintings, signs, screens and more.
• Auto Exposure and White Balance
  The V-Ray Physical Camera can now set the correct camera exposure and white balance automatically.
• Faster rendering
  On average, V-Ray Next for Revit has been optimized to render twice as fast as the previous version. And with the new Adaptive Dome Light, image-based lighting is now faster than ever.
