We’re excited to introduce V-Ray for Unreal. Now you can bring V-Ray scenes from 3ds Max, Maya, SketchUp and Rhino directly into the Unreal Editor.
And for the first time, you can render ray traced, photorealistic images with V-Ray directly from Unreal.
To bring a V-Ray scene into Unreal is simple.
Create the scene the same way you normally do using V-Ray for 3ds Max, Maya and SketchUp. Then, export a V-Ray scene from your host application and import it using V-Ray for Unreal.
That’s it, you’re in — without needing to be a game engine expert.
When you import your scene, V-Ray for Unreal automatically converts your materials and lights into real-time equivalents for UE workflows.
At the same time, your original materials from V-Ray for 3ds Max, Maya and SketchUp remain connected to their real-time versions and are called up when you’re ready to render.
When you render with V-Ray for Unreal, you get the exact same photorealistic quality that V-Ray is known for.
V-Ray taps into the full combined power of your GPUs and CPUs for ultrafast ray tracing.
Once your V-Ray scene is imported, you’ll be ready to take full advantage of the VR capabilities in the Unreal Editor.
V-Ray for Unreal makes it fast and easy to create high quality, immersive VR.
Now you can build great looking real-time experiences and ray traced renders all from a single, shared workflow using V-Ray for Unreal.
Render interactively while you design. Fine-tune lights and materials and instantly view results directly in the Unreal viewport. In addition, you could see Unreal post-process operations like the filmic tone-mapping in the final V-Ray result.
Render and bake any scenes created with V-Ray and/or Unreal native materials. No matter whether you use Datasmith or V-Ray to import your content assets to Unreal you can enjoy the fully ray-traced quality of V-Ray in Unreal.
This update features efficient memory handling allowing you to work with large data sets, and heavy scenes comprised of millions of polygons. Take advantage of a much faster light baking, without compromising on V-Ray’s superior quality.
Automatically converts V-Ray materials to approximate Unreal materials. Original V-Ray materials are used when rendering.
Bake your ray-traced lighting with V-Ray for the highest quality real-time illumination.
Supports static objects.
Render your Unreal scenes with physically accurate, ray-traced lighting from V-Ray.
Render realistic bounced light using V-Ray’s Brute force and proprietary Light cache global illumination.
Render on all your hardware — with support for CPUs, NVIDIA GPUs, or a combination of both.
Render sequences from the Unreal Sequence Editor to create V-Ray-quality, ray-traced animated cinematics.
To render deforming objects, use animated V-Ray Proxy objects.
Leverage the power of multiple machines working together to speed up rendering and light baking.
Supports a wide range of render elements for better control in compositing.
Load high-resolution assets at render time using memory-efficient V-Ray Proxy objects.
Compatible with Unreal's native foliage system for rendering large environments and landscapes.
Currently supports static foliage.
Render materials with textures from Substance Designer.
Render foliage with animated materials.
Add support for Unreal Stationary lights.
Better workflow and material translation.
