Chaos Group launched V-Ray 5 for 3ds Max, connecting award-winning renderer to more parts of the visualization process. Artists and designers can now composite renders, enhance materials and interactively relight images without leaving the program, extending V-Ray’s capabilities into new realms.

All-new features in V-Ray 5 for 3ds Max include:

LIGHT MIX

Interactively explore different lighting scenarios without having to re-render an image

LAYER COMPOSITOR

A faster path to final images, helping users post-process shots in the new VFB without outside applications.

MATERIAL MANAGER

Efficiently browse a library of over 500 render-ready materials including metals, glass, wood and more.

MATERIAL PRESETS

Save time creating common materials with presets for aluminum, chrome, glass and more.

MATERIAL PREVIEWS

New rendered material swatches show you exactly how your materials will look.

COAT LAYER

Add reflective coatings directly in the updated V-Ray Material, saving you both material creation and rendering time over using Blend material.

SHEEN LAYER

Create soft microfiber fabrics such as velvet, satin and silk with the new Sheen options in the updated V-Ray Material.

TEXTURE RANDOMIZATION

Add variety to your scene with the new VRayUVWRandomizer map and enhanced VRayMultiSubTex controls.

STOCHASTIC TEXTURE TILING

Automatically remove texture tiling artifacts with the new Stochastic tiling option on the VRayUVWRandomizer.
