We’ve boosted post-production control with masking support for Lens Effects and Denoiser layers. Choose specific lights and materials to apply lens effects to, or denoise just the parts of your image that you’d like to smooth out.
Fine-tune V-Ray Light Materials using LightMix. With more control than ever before, you can now edit self-illuminating objects in your scene — even after you’ve rendered.
Easily add anything from stickers and labels to different kinds of surface imperfections to bottles, jars, cups, cans, rockets, tanks, fire hydrants, or any other cylinder-like object. Match the Decal’s projection to the curve of the object’s surface in just a few clicks.
Blend surface and decal bumps in no time. Take your product designs to new levels of realism with lifelike stickers, labels, embossed logos, lettering, and more. Or easily create effects such as spray or paint on a cracked wall, corroded metal, or any other bumpy surface.
Now, you can quickly set custom aspect ratios for each of your V-Ray cameras, saving precious frame setup time, then batch render in your preferred resolution locally or with Chaos Cloud Rendering.
Export V-Ray lights, materials, modifiers, and more to USD file format. Exchange V-Ray data between all compatible DCCs.
Exported V-Ray scenes submitted to Chaos Cloud for rendering make use of a new format which reduces file size and increases upload speed. Differences between Chaos Cloud render output and local rendering, due to bugs or missing features, have also been significantly reduced.

Perfect your compositions even before starting the first render. With composition guides inside the V-Ray Physical Camera, you can cut back on iterations and save render time.

© Narcis CalinRendering texture-heavy scenes is now much more memory-efficient. On average, V-Ray GPU uses 50% less GPU memory on assets with 4K textures. Add incredible detail to your scenes without sacrificing shading quality.
© Narcis CalinRender complex cutaways and sections using any mesh object. In just a few clicks, you can also animate the clipper and achieve complex effects that would otherwise take a lot of time to create with Boolean operators.
© DabartiEasily create photorealistic skin, plastic, wax, and more, using the updated V-Ray Material. Thanks to a new algorithm, translucent objects now render up to 2x faster. Low-poly translucent objects also render more smoothly.

Use visual annotations to easily communicate your ideas. Don’t limit yourself to words — you can now add lines, arrows, and many more figures to illustrate what you mean.
Upload and share different versions of your files for review. Allow teammates and clients to compare and critique your work for a smoother decision-making process.
Set your imagination free with more control over your scene’s lighting. Easily create artistic effects with V-Ray Light’s Custom Decay, which allows you to dictate how light transmits based on the source distance.
Experiment with NVIDIA’s new AI Denoiser that promises to greatly speed-up rendering times by allowing you to render at one quarter your resolution.
New options for procedural clouds give you more creative control over the final look. Customize how dark your clouds are, randomize them in countless combinations, and add the final touch with contrails.
