Updated 7 August 2020: V-Ray 5 for Maya is now shipping.Īs well as the changes covered above, new features include a VRayProxy node.
We wrote about the new features when the 3ds Max edition was released, so for a deeper dive into the changes, check out our run-down of the 10 key features in V-Ray 5 for 3ds Max.Ĭhaos Group’s promo image for V-Ray 5 for Maya, showing Digital Domain’s work on Avengers: Endgame. In addition, V-Ray 5 for Maya adds support for rendering in ACEScg colour space, and blue noise sampling in the DMC Sampler, intended to generate even noise distribution in rendered images with fewer samples.
Vray maya update#
The update also adds the new sun and sky model previewed with Corona Renderer 6, which promises more accurate results when the sun is near the horizon. Other new features include support for secondary matte projections on the GPU, and support for 2.5D displacement: a performance-boosting change originally introduced in Corona Renderer 5.
The most significant is “initial support” for out-of-core rendering, which makes it possible to render scenes larger than will fit in a GPU’s graphics memory without the speed hit that this normally entails. V-Ray 5 also includes several changes to V-Ray GPU, the software’s GPU-capable render engine. Updates to V-Ray GPU, new sun and sky model, blue noise sampling in the DMC Sheen is intended to “make fabric-like materials within a couple of clicks”, and mimics the effect of surface light scattering by micro-fibres in real-world cloth. The release also adds a number of new features to V-Ray’s material system, including new Coat and Sheen parameters in the standard V-Ray material.Ĭoat makes it possible to mimic the look of surface coatings like varnish directly in VRayMtl, rather than having to create them via V-Ray’s Blend Material.Īs well as being simpler to set up, the new system is “way faster to render” than the current method. New Coat and Sheen layers in the standard V-Ray Material Similar functionality is available in Arnold, Clarisse iFX, RenderMan, and a range of other DCC software. In addition, V-Ray 5 introduces support for Light Path Expressions (LPEs), making it possible to render any arbitrary lighting contribution to a scene as a separate render pass. Light Mix automatically generates light selects for each lighting component in a scene, making it possible to adjust their colour and intensity after rendering, at the cost of increasing initial render times. The release also introduces a new system for relighting images without re-rendering, along the lines of the LightMix system in Corona Renderer, V-Ray’s sister application.
The new functionality should make it possible to do straightforward finishing work on renders directly within V-Ray, rather than having to export images to an external application like Photoshop. The major change in V-Ray 5 is the rework of the V-Ray Frame Buffer (VFB): the native display window for V-Ray renders.Īlthough it was already possible to colour-correct renders in the buffer, or apply simple post effects, V-Ray 5 gives the VFB its own integrated layer-based compositing system.

Key changes: built-in compositing and relighting in the VFB, plus a new materials library and browser V-Ray 5 reworks the V-Ray Frame Buffer, making it possible to remix the lighting components for a scene directly in the VFB, rather than having to export files to an external compositing application. Other than that, most of the key functionality is already present in the initial release. The Maya edition doesn’t get the library of readymade materials that accompanied V-Ray 5 for 3ds Max, or the changes to material previews within 3ds Max’s native Material Editor.

The public beta was actually released last month, but we missed it in the social media activity surrounding V-Ray 5 for 3ds Max, the full release of which shipped a few days later.Īs you would expect, the new features are very similar to those of the 3ds Max edition. Most of the features from the 3ds Max edition, bar the materials library Other new features include an improved sun and sky model, new materials options for surface coatings and sheen, and support for out-of-core rendering in V-Ray GPU. The update radically reworks the V-Ray Frame Buffer, introducing layer-based compositing, a new system for relighting scenes after rendering, and support for Light Path Expressions. Updated: It has now been released commercially.
