For over a decade Chaos Group’s flagship rendering software, V-Ray ®, has set the standard for speed, reliability, ease of use, and render quality. With V-Ray 2.0 for Autodesk ® 3ds Max ® and Autodesk ® Maya ®, we have raised the bar once again. Here are the Top 10 features included in V-Ray 2.0, soon to become an integral part of your workflow. < home

V-Ray® RT Streamline setup time V-Ray RT is a revolutionary new rendering engine that leverages the power of CPUs and/or GPUs to provide instant feedback, streamlining the process of setting up lighting and materials. V-Ray RT is built upon the same solid core as V-Ray 2.0, making it seamless to transition between the two. < home Image courtesy of

VRayCarPaintMtl V-Ray 2.0 introduces the intuitive new VRayCarPaintMtl, offering controls for base paint, clear coat, and metallic flakes within a single, optimized shader. The VrayCarPaintMtl simplifies the creation of complex, multi-layered automotive paints. original backplate and hdri by moofe.com Simplify the creation of highly detailed and multi-layered car paint materials < home Image courtesy of

Dispersion Achieve new levels of realism In V-Ray 2.0, the VRayMtl includes Dispersion, providing the ability to trace and refract light based on its wavelength. Realism relies on details, and we have added Dispersion to help achieve even more believable results. < home Image courtesy of Chaos Group

With the VRayLightSelect render element in V-Ray 2.0, it is now possible to separate the contribution of any combination of lights into separate passes. This offers the ultimate flexibility of rendering once and adjusting the lighting completely and realistically in post-production.

Lens Analysis Tool Accurately match the lens distortion of live footage With the new Lens Analysis Tool, it is possible to measure and calibrate the lens distortion of live footage and match it virtually with the VRayPhysicalCamera. Camera profiles can be saved to a file and loaded any time the same lens is used. < home Image courtesy of

VRayPtex node for Autodesk® Maya® Image courtesy of Marek Denko V-Ray 2.0 for Autodesk Maya supports the innovative texture format Ptex with the new VRayPtex node. Ptex greatly simplifies the texturing process by efficiently storing any number of textures into a single file and eliminating the need to assign UVs. Incorporate the next generation texturing tools into your workflow < home

VRayStereoscopic Helper and Shademap for Autodesk® 3ds Max® Optimize your stereoscopic pipeline V-Ray 2.0 introduces the new VRayStereoscopic Helper with Shademap technology, optimizing the production of stereoscopic imagery and reducing render times for depth of field and motion blur effects. < home Image courtesy of

V-Ray® Proxy VRayProxy is an indispensable tool for managing scene memory and efficiently rendering massive amounts of geometry. To enhance viewport performance, VRayProxy now includes the ability to specify a separate preview mesh. Render a virtually unlimited amount of geometry < home Image courtesy of

VRayLight Dome Simplify image-based lighting The VRayLight Dome provides a simple, artifact-free solution for creating image-based lighting. Its powerful importance sampling analyzes HDR images to optimize light tracing and GI precision. < home Image courtesy of Chaos Group

V-Ray® Displacement Add detail efficiently V-Ray Displacement implements a unique solution for geometry handling at render time, making it extremely fast and memory efficient. Additional options such as Water Level provide methods of creating elaborate geometry from a simple plane. < home Image courtesy of
