Dirt and Weathering – New controls for aging materials with procedural streaks have been added to the V-Ray Dirt Material.Sheen Layer – Easily simulate fabrics like velvet, satin, and silk.Coat Layer – Gain extra reflections on surfaces without using blend materials.New controls have also been added to allow users to easily customize the sun position. New Sun and Sky – Improves accuracy across the board, including when the sun is near the horizon, right before sunrise and after sunset.Texture resolutions have also been increased to 4K. High-resolution material library – The popular V-Ray material library has been expanded and upgraded with V-Ray 5’s new layering controls and texture randomization features.Now for the first time, users can visualize their Grasshopper designs in realtime with the new Live Link component for V-Ray Vision. Expanded Grasshopper support – V-Ray for Grasshopper is included with V-Ray for Rhino for realtime visualization, photorealistic rendering and animation.For extra control, render layers can be combined using the Layer Compositor to create more nuanced looks, which can be saved as presets for later use.

New V-Ray Frame Buffer and Light Mix tools make color corrections, combine render elements, adjust lighting, and add the final touches to renders without needing a separate image editing app. (Source: Chaos Group)Īpart from rendering, V-Ray 5 for Rhino does post-processing too. Choose the look you want and start rendering. Automatic scene lighting: new Light Gen tool calculates multiple lighting options and shows them as thumbnails. V-Ray Vision lets you explore the model, collaborate on design decisions, easily save images and 360 panoramas, export realtime animations, etc. And Stereo Camera support helps render stereoscopic 3D images. V-Ray Clipper support makes it easy to render sections and cutaways. A live realtime view of a scene is available, offering a quick design visualization throughout a project. A live scene viewer, V-Ray Vision brings realtime visualization to the designs. Chaos Group brings realtime and photoreal rendering into Rhino and Grasshopper with the release of V-Ray 5 for Rhino.
