V-Ray 6 for Rhino Beta Released

V-Ray 6 enables you to take advantage of new ways to collaborate with colleagues and clients. Bring an Enscape scene inside V-Ray and take it to photorealism. Share your work and get feedback with Chaos Cloud Collaboration. Add custom clouds and create timelapses with the new procedural cloud system. Create more complex and more realistic materials with a few clicks.

Procedural clouds

Bring your scene to life with customizable skyscapes. V-Ray 6’s procedural cloud system generates memory-efficient cloudy skies and gives you the ability to create timelapse animations.

V-Ray Enmesh

Add patterns over surfaces to create anything from fences to fabrics.

Enhanced Material Creation

Add a new level of realism to your materials. Quickly and easily add realism to your scenes by varying effects such as procedural fur or displacement based on their proximity to other elements. Form mold spots under downpipes or a path through a lawn.

With improvements to the V-Ray Material’s subsurface scattering mode it’s faster to render translucent materials such as marble and frosted glass.
