V-Ray 7 for Revit: Elevate your BIM workflow

Summary:

V-Ray 7 for Revit accelerates 3D environment creation with Gaussian splats, allowing for faster and more realistic scenery integration. Highlights include point cloud rendering for precise visualization, upgraded V-Ray Frame Buffer (VFB), advanced scattering tools and layered textures, and interactive virtual tours. Create photoreal environments faster, elevate your BIM workflow, and wow your clients.

 

V-Ray 7 for Revit is here, bringing new features to speed up your visualization workflow, enhance realism, and provide more control over your final renders. Whether you're an architect, lighting designer, or archviz specialist, this update is designed to transform how you create by speeding up 3D environment creation, optimizing BIM workflows, and helping deliver immersive client experiences.

What's new in V-Ray 7 for Revit?

1. Fast environment building with Gaussian Splats

V-Ray 7 offers Gaussian splats, a technology that generates 3D environments and background elements with incredible speed. This means that you can now add realistic scenery to your project quicker than ever before—perfect for tight deadlines.

2. Precision with point cloud rendering

Seamlessly integrate scan data into your Revit project with point cloud rendering. Visualize objects with unmatched precision and accuracy, ensuring alignment between design models and survey data. No more guesswork—just high-fidelity results.

3. Enhanced visual control with new VFB features

The V-Ray Frame Buffer (VFB) has been upgraded with powerful tools to give you greater control over your images. New color correction filters, a dedicated vignette layer, and an improved curve editor let you fine-tune your renders directly in V-Ray, reducing the need to use a third-party post-processing tool. Need to make quick adjustments without rendering the entire scene over again? The new freeform render region lets you select any custom polygon shape and refine just that area, saving you valuable time.

4. Enhanced scattering for more realistic renders

Bring your designs to life with advanced scattering tools. Gain greater control over object placement, distribution, and randomization, making it easier to create detailed and dynamic environments without tedious manual work.

5. Layered textures for greater creative flexibility

V-Ray 7 introduces layered textures, letting you blend multiple textures seamlessly—just like in Photoshop. Now, creating complex materials is faster and more intuitive than ever.

Optimized for performance

V-Ray 7 isn’t just about new features—it also brings major performance enhancements:

  • Faster GPU rendering with reduced time to first pixel.
  • An optimized V-Ray Swarm has been integrated within the Asset Editor for even better performance, making distributed rendering easier than ever.
