Chaos V-Rayis a 3D rendering plugin available for all major 3D design and CAD programs. It works seamlessly with 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, Houdini, Maya, Nuke, Revit, Rhino, SketchUp, and Unreal. With V-Ray, artists and designers can explore and share their projects and render high-quality 3D visualizations. V-Ray has a large community of users and is recognized for its incredible versatility. V-Ray has been honored with a Sci-Tech Academy Award and an Engineering Emmy Award for bringing fully ray-traced photorealistic CGI to the film and television industries.
V-Ray 7 for Blendercomes with full compatibility with the latest version of Blender, introducing initial support for rendering Cycles materials, as well as integration with Blender's hair system. It also adds V-Ray Node Editor, enabling users to create, edit, and manage materials, textures, and geometries using a node-based workflow within Blender. Like other V-Ray editions, V-Ray 7 for Blender includes core features such as CPU, GPU, and hybrid rendering, V-Ray Frame Buffer (VFB) for interactive rendering, advanced Global Illumination algorithms, support for real-world cameras and lens effects, and much more.
