Unify your workflow

At every stage of your project, from initial design to final delivery, V-Ray 6 for SketchUp has the tools you need to visualize and collaborate every step of the way.

Enscape to V-Ray compatibility

If you use Enscape with SketchUp, we've got great news for you. V-Ray 6 for SketchUp now reads Enscape scenes directly, including materials and lights, so you can design in real-time and then render with V-Ray when you’re ready to take your visualizations to the next level. 

You get the best of both worlds with this new compatibility—the speed and simplicity of Enscape and the power and realism of V-Ray.

Finite Dome light

V-Ray Dome lights now have a new Finite option to give them a physical size. It helps objects integrate better with their image-based lighting environment.

New & improved materials

More control and more realism than ever before.


Distance Texture

The Distance texture lets you control where materials are applied based on their distance to and from selected objects. For example, you could add gravel and grass next to asphalt depending on how far they are from the model of the street.
