V-Ray® for Houdini is a production-proven CPU & GPU rendering software for high-end VFX and animation. It comes with all the tools artists need to render amazing-looking procedural effects. Seamlessly integrated into Houdini, it enables smooth scene exchange and iterations with other DCC applications through full support for USD and a fully-featured V-Ray Hydra Delegate for Solaris.
V-Ray’s performance is production-proven. It’s been used by the world’s leading studios to render over 300 television series and feature films. In 2017, V-Ray received a Sci-Tech Academy Award for its contribution to photorealistic visual effects. In 2021, V-Ray was awarded with an Engineering Emmy for advancing the use of fully ray-traced rendering.
V-Ray’s adaptive ray tracing is highly optimized for superior speed and scalability. You can take full advantage of your hardware rendering on multiple CPUs, & GPUs, or both. With V-Ray’s distributed rendering, you can render a single image across multiple machines.
V-Ray works seamlessly with Houdini and enables smooth scene exchange with other DCC applications. V-Ray for Houdini is compatible with industry standards, including USD and MaterialX, ACEScg, Alembic, OpenVDB, and OpenColorIO.
