Dome Light - provides a simple, artifact-free solution for creating image based lighting. Its powerful importance sampling analyzes HDR images to optimize light tracing and GI precision.

V-Ray Proxy - indispensable tool for managing scene memory and efficiently rendering massive amounts of geometry. V-Ray Proxy objects are dynamically loaded and unloaded at render time, saving vital RAM resources.

Lens Effects (Glare / Bloom ) - simulate the natural lens effects that occur when photographing highlights.

Retrace Threshold - reduces Light Cache artifacts and improves the appearance of glossy reflections and refractions when using the time-saving feature - Use light cache for glossy rays.

Sphere Light - create spherically shaped area lights.

Lights as components - V-ray lights can now be part of a SketchUp component. This makes it easy to change the design and settings of multiple lights at one time.

Faster Parsing Times - major speed improvements hae been made when processing the SketchUp scene for rendering with V-Ray.
