V-Ray Wrangler

V-Ray now ships with its own native alternative to the Node Wrangler add-on. Save valuable production time in the Shader Nodes editor by using the same handy keyboard shortcuts you already know to instantly connect, swap, and preview complex node setups.

Parallax interiors

Add realistic interior depth and lighting to your exterior renders without modeling and heavy geometry. Lightweight to render, easy to apply, and adjustable per window, the new V-Ray Parallax Texture makes buildings feel alive, especially in night scenes, while keeping performance fast and production-ready.
