New V-Ray 3.3 for Maya boasts major speed enhancements

Chaos Group has announced a new version of V-Ray for Maya that includes a broad sprinkling of new features and enhancements. The foremost of these is a focus on rendering speed, with a typical 20-50% boost over previous versions of V-Ray, rendering the same scene. At the same time, Chaos Group has rebuilt its image sampler with a new “Variance-based Adaptive Sampler” that is the best yet to detect noise and sample noisy areas efficiently. It also automatically evaluates and samples lights and materials for a consistent noise quality throughout your rendering.

There is an all new sky system called “Hosek” that models skies with more realism, allowing you to adjust ground albedo (light reflection) and other parameters for the right look. Atmospheric depth is supported through a new Aerial Perspective node.

 

Another new feature is the ability to use any mesh as a cutaway with the V-Ray clipper. This means you can have render-time booleans that look perfect and do not burden your scene file.

 

The new triplanar mapping has been a big hit with V-Ray users, allowing you to get seamless textures without having any UVs applied to your geometry. Textures can project along x, y and z with the option to blend between them and randomize the offset and rotation for each projection. In practice this means that typical noisy tiling textures will wrap perfectly without any further effort on UV mapping.

 

V-Ray 3.3 also allows for faster rendering of volumetrics with a new probabilistic sampling system. This means that smoke, fog and steam compute much more quickly and realistically. For geometry – proxies and instances also load and render faster in the new version.

 

There are many other features, listed and demonstrated on video at this link: http://www.v-ray.com/maya/features/sp3/

 

Perhaps the best feature is that Chaos Group has made this an included free upgrade for any user that owns V-Ray 3.x for Maya. Just download, install and enjoy the new performance and features.
