V-Ray 6 for Maya
The V-Ray 6 for Maya packs many new powerful tools that enable users to create without limits. They can now generate complex surfaces for stunning close-up shots at no extra memory cost, crafting the ideal sky for their environment in just a few clicks.
Create Without Limits, Powerful New Tools Allow You to Build Anything Imaginable
V-Ray Enmesh
Create complex surfaces with lots of detail for stunning close-up shots. With Enmesh, you can repeat geometry across the surface of an object at no extra memory cost.
Finite Dome Light Mode
Elevate your product design and HDRI environment renders with the new, more flexible ground projection capabilities of the V-Ray Dome Light.
Procedural Clouds
Craft just the right cloudy sky for your environment in just a few clicks with V-Ray Sun and Sky’s new procedural clouds system.
V-Ray Decal with Displacement
You can now use V-Ray Decal to add displacement to any surface for even more realistic cracked walls, rocks, scratched and rusty surfaces, embossed lettering, and more.
Streamline Your Workflow and Fast-forward Your Project’s Reviews and Approvals
Chaos Cloud Collaboration
Get rapid, consolidated feedback on your work’s progress. Upload your renders to Chaos Cloud Collaboration right from V-Ray’s Frame Buffer, and share your work with colleagues and clients to add comments and annotations, see panorama views and more — from anywhere in the world.
Easily Monitor and Manage Rendering Performance, and So Much More
V-Ray Profiler
Get reports on the time spent calculating shaders and volumes in your scenes. Locate all hot spots in your scene and optimise pipelines for even faster rendering. Pair V-Ray Profiler with the Memory Tracker, and you now have everything you need to monitor and optimise your projects.
Enhanced USD support
Experience a USD workflow that’s smoother than ever. We’ve added support for the latest Maya USD version as well as included new enhancements for Open VDB volumes and V-Ray material exports, promoting an easy exchange with Solaris and USD-powered pipelines.
Light Cache in IPR
Make better decisions while iterating on your designs with V-Ray’s Interactive Production Renderer (IPR) output now being identical to the production renderer.
Background Cloud Cloud Submissions
You now have uninterrupted access to Maya when submitting to Chaos Cloud Rendering, so you can continue working.
Faster Rendering
V-Ray Environment Fog now renders up to 30% faster. Translucent material rendering is also up to 2x faster thanks to V-Ray Materials brandnew Illumination mode. Scenes featuring thousands of instances now also render more efficiently.
Shade Faster and Better, Speed up Shading and Create Even More Physically Accurate Materials
Thin Film Layer
Create realistic soap bubbles, oil spills and more with the new Thin Film option available in the V-Ray Material.
Enhanced V-Ray Material Energy Preservation
Render even more physically accurate rough metals and other reflective surfaces with enhanced V-Ray Material energy preservation.
Composition Guides Layer in VFB
Fine-tune your scene compositions without going to a separate application. With customisable overlays, the new composition guides layer in the VFB allows you to easily experiment and enhance your image compositions.
VFB Panorama Viewer
Now you can preview your spherical panorama renders while rendering, right from your V-Ray Frame Buffer.
