CHAOS GROUP OPENS V-RAY CLOUD BETA WITH FREE RENDERING FOR A LIMITED TIME

World’s Simplest Cloud Rendering Service Leverages Google Cloud for Ultra-Fast Renders; Open Beta Includes Free Credits Until Launch

SIGGRAPH 2018, VANCOUVER, Canada – August 13, 2018 – Today, Chaos Group releases the open beta for V-Ray Cloud, a push-button cloud rendering service for artists and designers running on Google Cloud Platform. V-Ray Cloud can turn a workstation into a supercomputer, unlocking the unlimited power of the cloud to help users hit deadlines and render faster than ever before. V-Ray Cloud will be free to use throughout the beta.

V-Ray Cloud removes the hardware barriers that keep most cloud rendering users at bay, simplifying the process for the everyday artist. Soon, with a click of a button, users will be able to render an entire animation in the time it takes to render a single frame, without having to track assets, juggle licenses or set up virtual machines. V-Ray Cloud will also be integrated into all V-Ray products, bringing a rapid speed boost to artists and designers in a pinch.

“V-Ray Cloud will be there whenever you need it, as a natural extension to your workflow,” said Boris Simandoff, V-Ray Cloud Director of Engineering at Chaos Group. “As needs arise, just submit a job and we’ll do the rest. It’s really simple.”

V-Ray Cloud Features:

  • Google Cloud Power – V-Ray Cloud is currently deployed on the Google Cloud Platform, providing a highly secure, scalable system for on-demand, high-performance rendering.
     
  • Smart Sync – Automatic scene updates for new changes, ensuring fast upload times and renders.
     
  • Smart Vault – An optimized storage system keeps assets in the cloud for use in future projects.
     
  • Remote Control – Job settings can be changed and resubmitted from any device, without opening the scene.

V-Ray Cloud is now open to all beta testers. Apply now to try free cloud rendering for a limited time.

Chaos Group will be demoing V-Ray Cloud at SIGGRAPH 2018 in the Google booth (#1423) on August 14 from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and on August 16 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. To see a demo or schedule a meeting with Chaos Group at the show, please contact: david.tracy@chaosgroup.com
