Do more, and render even faster. 

Update 2 lets you do more and render even faster. It adds V-Ray Enmesh and speeds up animation rendering by up to x4.

V-Ray 6 brings in new creative tools to empower you to bring any idea to life, faster. It also increases memory efficiency and speeds up GPU rendering even more. Plus many enhancements to streamline your workflow.

New in V-Ray 6, update 2

Do more, and render even faster with V-Ray GPU.

V-Ray Enmesh

Tile 3D geometry patterns across objects to create complex surfaces with lots of detail for stunning close-up shots. Enmesh is ideal for creating intricate panels, fences, fabrics, and so much more, and it uses much less memory than displacement or copying by hand.

Faster animation rendering

Render image sequences up to 4x faster with V-Ray GPU. V-Ray now caches bitmaps between animation frames, eliminating the need for reloads, leading to a substantial increase in rendering speed.

*V-Ray 6 GPU, update 2 is now available for 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, and Maya.

Power up your GPU rendering

Increased efficiency and new tools to give you more control.

Compressed textures mode

Rendering texture-heavy scenes is now much more memory-efficient. On average, V-Ray GPU uses 50% less GPU memory on assets with 4K textures. Add incredible detail to your scenes without sacrificing shading quality.

V-Ray Clipper Mesh mode

Render complex cutaways and sections using any mesh object. In just a few clicks, you can also animate the clipper and achieve complex effects that would otherwise take a lot of time to create with Boolean operators.

Streamlined Trace Depth workflow

With a single click, you can now override Reflection and Refraction trace depth for all materials in your scene thanks to a new, streamlined workflow. This new control works for both interactive and production rendering.

New GPU Device Selector

Set render priority per device, or assign rendering and denoising to different GPUs to double interactive performance with the new device selector.
