Render professional-quality, photorealistic images and animation with V-Ray’s adaptive ray tracing technology.

V-Ray GPU CUDA now renders on CPUs as well as GPUs, to take full advantage of all available hardware.

Fully interactive production rendering.

Automatically remove noise and cut render times by up to 50%.

Stop your render at any point and pick up where you left off.

Choose from several global illumination options – exact, approximate or a hybrid of both.

New algorithm that dramatically speeds up rendering in scenes with many lights.

Simulate any type of natural, artificial, or image-based lighting. With a wide range of light types, including area lights, physical sun & sky and IES lights, you can render any lighting scenario.

Real-world camera controls let you work like a photographer. Render images with detailed depth of field and cinematic motion blur.

Instantly add GPU-accelerated glare and bloom for added photorealism. Fine-tune lens effects interactively while you render.

Experience your project in virtual reality. Create content for popular VR headsets with 6x1 cubic and spherical stereo camera types.

Create any type of physical material. From multilayered car paint to accurate subsurface scattering, you can make any material imaginable.

General-purpose shader by Anders Langlands includes built-in SSS controls; popular for skin.

New, physically-accurate reflection model.

650+ scanned materials. Import and render directly in V-Ray.

Work with production-ready, multiresolution tiled textures from your favorite applications, like MARI, Mudbox and Zbrush.

Quickly apply seamless textures without UVs.

Generate perfectly smooth edges at render-time with no extra modeling.

Render realistic hair efficiently and flicker-free. V-Ray includes procedural fur, optimized hair shaders, and supports 3ds Max Hair&Fur, HairFarm and Ornatrix.

Render massive scenes with proxy objects. V-Ray proxies efficiently replace complex scene geometry and load only at render time.

Create unique geometry like infinite planes, metaballs and isosurfaces, particles and object cutaways with render-time booleans.

Create complex cutaways and sections using any mesh object.

Render fog, smoke and atmospheric effects that respond correctly to light. Bring in volume grid caches from Houdini, FumeFX and PhoenixFD.

Simulate natural looking skies with realistic atmospheric depth.

37 unique beauty, utility and matte passes give you more control over your rendered images for compositing.

Now with full support for GI, reflections and refractions for accurate light mixing in post.

Automatically create ID mattes with support for transparency, depth of field, and motion blur.
