V-RAY 5 FOR MAYA KEY FEATURES
ONE RENDER, MANY LIGHTING SCENARIOS
Explore different lighting options from a single render. Interactively adjust lights, without rerendering with the LightMix render element.
LAYERED COMPOSITING
The new Layer compositor lets you fine-tune your images directly in the V-Ray Frame Buffer — without the need for a separate post-processing app.
EXTRA COMPOSITING CONTROL
Output any lighting contributions with Light Path Expressions for fine-grained control in compositing. Use boolean operations to easily combine LPEs, or quick start with built-in presets.
FASTER V-RAY PROXY WORKFLOW
Improve viewport and render speed with the new VRay Proxy node – а simplified single geometry node structure with easy-to-use, rule-based material and visibility assignments.
And more — color management, GPU and material enhancements
ACESCG COLOR SPACE
Select industry-standard ACEScg for rendering with automatic color space adjustment for textures, dispersion, sun & sky, and light temperature colors.
ENHANCED GPU RENDERING
Power up your renders with all-new GPU features, including 2D displacement, support for OSL textures, memory tracking and initial out-of-core implementation to handle your largest scenes.
COAT LAYER
Add reflective coatings directly in V-Ray Material so you can render faster and more efficiently than using a blend material.
SHEEN LAYER
Render soft microfiber fabrics like velvet, satin and silk with new Sheen options in the V-Ray Material.
NEW SUN AND SKY MODEL
A new Sun & Sky analytical model dramatically improves lighting at sunrise and sunset.
