Asset © Mathien AerniElevate your skin shading workflow for even more natural and lifelike skin textures. Effortlessly achieve the right glossiness for normal-mapped surfaces, regardless of the viewing distance, and say goodbye to excessive shine on your characters’ skin!
Gain control over the emission of light as it travels across distances. With the ability to manipulate hotspots, light intensity, ray spread, length, and other factors, you now have the creative freedom to achieve any lighting effect.
Achieve breathtaking skies with even more customization options. Personalize the density, darkness, and patterns of your clouds, and add the finishing touches with contrails for added realism and detail.
Easily apply stickers, labels, and various surface imperfections onto cylindrical objects such as bottles, cans, rockets, tanks, fire hydrants, and more. You can now align the Decal's projection to match the curvature of the object's surface in just a few clicks.
Seamlessly blend surface and decal bumps. Achieve incredibly realistic-looking stickers, labels, embossed logos, and lettering, or easily create effects such as spray or paint on a cracked wall, corroded metal, or any other textured surface.
Seamlessly exchange USD data from Autodesk Maya and 3ds Max to Houdini, and vice versa. Assets will look identical, regardless of the software used, enabling smooth collaboration and data transfer without any need for manual conversions.
Gain insights into how much time it takes to export a scene, compile geometry and displacement, load bitmaps, and more. With the powered-up V-Ray Profiler, you can also customize the level of detail in your reports to suit your specific needs.
Through optimizations in geometry compilation for static meshes and hair, we’ve more than halved the average time to first pixel — and reached an impressive seven-fold increase in some cases.
Our integration of NVIDIA's latest AI Denoiser offers the potential to accelerate your rendering process by up to threefold. This feature is particularly beneficial for efficient look development and generating quick previews.
Explore different looks for the self-illuminating objects in your scenes even after rendering has finished. With more flexibility than ever before, you can now effortlessly modify V-Ray Light Materials using Light Mix and Light Select.
Decide what objects to apply lens effects to and which ones to blur, sharpen, or even denoise — all without re-rendering. These new masking options power up VFB’s post-processing and lets you achieve exactly the look you’re after, faster.
Experience optimized memory usage when rendering texture-heavy scenes with V-Ray GPU. This new mode saves 50% of your GPU memory on average, allowing you to add an incredible level of detail to your scenes without sacrificing shading quality.
Easily render cutaways and sections utilizing any mesh object. With just a few clicks, you can animate the clipper and achieve impressive effects that would typically demand substantial time and effort using Boolean operators.
