WHAT’S NEW
The latest version of V-Ray 5 App SDK brings in native support for Apple’s M1 chips, macOS Big Sur, and a number of exciting new features and improvements — to build into your custom software.
Support for Apple M1 processors and macOS Big Sur
MacOS users can now unleash the full power of their M1-powered devices with native support for Apple’s new ARM-based processors.
Material library
Efficiently choose from a library of over 500 render-ready materials including metals, glass, wood, and more. High-quality previews show you exactly what your materials will look like.
UV Texture Sampler
With this new tool, available inside V-Ray App SDK, you can quickly preview textures.
API bindings
The Node.js and Electron API bindings are now all context-aware. Plus, we’ve added support for the latest versions of Node.js (v14 and v16), Electron (v11), and Python (3.9).
KEY FEATURES
V-Ray
V-Ray 5 rendering technology
V-Ray core optimizations and V-Ray GPU improvements make rendering even faster and more stable.
Beyond rendering
Interactive post-processing capabilities such as the Light Mix and the new layer-based compositor are now built right into the new V-Ray Frame Buffer.
Scene intelligence
Built-in scene intelligence delivers faster ray tracing, cleaner sampling and more accurate rendering.
Multiple render modes
Output using any of V-Ray’s hybrid rendering modes, including interactive and final frame rendering on CPUs or GPUs.
Adaptive dome light
Smarter, more accurate image-based environment lighting with up to 7x faster rendering.
2x faster GPU rendering
Improved GPU architecture for faster rendering and extended feature support.
Point & shoot camera
Automatic exposure and white balance functions help you create camera presets for perfect renders.
Virtual reality
Develop content creation workflows for any type of VR application. Stereo panorama support is built in.
Scanned material library
Include a library of over 1000 ready-made photorealistic, scanned materials with your application. Additional Chaos Scans licensing required.
Sheen layer
Effortless simulation of fabrics like velvet, satin and silk with the new Sheen layer added to the V-Ray Material.
Coat layer
Creating layered materials with reflective coatings is now easier than ever with the new Coat layer added to the V-Ray Material.
Car Paint 2 Material
The new V-Ray Car Paint Material’s super-realistic paint flakes take automotive renders to a whole new level.
SDK
All the power, without the complexity
V-Ray App SDK gives you complete freedom to create any end-user solution with full access to V-Ray’s deep feature set under the hood.
Flexible approach to rendering
Transform your own 3D format, or import V-Ray scenes from other applications. Modify scenes interactively and output using any of V-Ray’s versatile rendering modes.
Granular control
Change any aspect of a scene at render-time with interactive editing of lights, materials, geometry and more.
Workflow management
Merge, split, filter and export V-Ray scenes. Manage distributed rendering. Access intermediate results and react to events.
Smart GPU mode
API functions for automatic on/off of UI elements depending on the user scene and features that are supported on GPU.
API with improved V-Ray Proxy support
Easy import and export of data, more control when making changes to V-Ray Proxies as well as sharing data for preview or conversion.
Learning resources
Full API reference guide and self-paced training program are included with the SDK.
Custom training
For any industry, custom on-site developer training is available.
Developer support
Supported by the programmers who develop V-Ray App SDK and use it every day.
