Start rendering for free in seconds.
V-Ray is fast and reliable and can handle anything you throw at it.
V-Ray is rock solid, no matter what you apply it to. We've used it on everything from Thanos to Terminator and we get a consistent output back every time. As we continue to push the boundaries of CG characters, we need tools that can keep up. V-Ray has been there for us every step of the way.
V-Ray is the only rendering solution that is altogether easy to learn, visually flexible, stable, and scalable. That's why we've been using it for over 10 years.

V-Ray is a professional photorealistic rendering engine that plugs into your 3D rendering software. To use V-Ray, you need a host application such as 3ds Max, SketchUp, Rhino, Maya, Blender, or Houdini.
While there’s a learning curve with V-Ray, the latest improvements in V-Ray 7 and above, combined with robust AI tools, allow new users to get started with V-Ray in a few hours. To support your learning, the Chaos Academy provides free learning paths and courses on V-Ray.
Yes, Chaos offers an ArchViz Collection: V-Ray edition education license that includes access to V-Ray for all supported platforms (SketchUp, 3ds Max, etc.), plus Chaos Vantage, Chaos Anima, Chaos Phoenix, Chaos Player, and Chaos Cosmos.
The difference is in the physics of light. Real-time engines use rasterization to stay fast. V-Ray is a physically accurate ray tracer that simulates how light rays behave in the real world, ensuring 100% accurate shadows, reflections, and global illumination.
V-Ray 7 introduces three key tools: the AI Upscaler to convert low-resolution drafts into HD images; the AI Enhancer to quickly add realistic details to people & vegetation without re-rendering; and the AI Material Generator to quickly generate ready-to-use PBR materials from any surface or texture.
Yes, V-Ray 7 is the first commercial ray tracer to support loading and rendering of Gaussian splats. Gaussian splatting offers a powerful way to create realistic environments in V-Ray 7 using point cloud data.
Chaos Credits are a unified currency used across multiple Chaos products. They let you access cloud rendering, Veras, AI features, and cloud services from a single Chaos account.
