V-Ray 5 for SketchUp beta out now

With V-Ray 5 for SketchUp, we’re expanding the capabilities of rendering software — so you can do more without leaving SketchUp. Now’s your chance to download the beta, try it out and let us know what you think.

Hightlights:

  • Real-time visualization: Quick previews of your SketchUp model and professional quality rendering of high-resolution images and animations — all without leaving your favourite 3D tool.
  • Faster, easier lighting: Automate your scene lighting process through hundreds of automatically generated light setups and lighting capabilities.
  • Post-processing in V-Ray: Powerful tools for applying finishing touches to your images. Now you can save time and increase creative exploration.
  • And much more!

Don’t forget to share your feedback in the dedicated forum.

We can’t wait to find out what you think.
