NEW! More than 10 new Procedural Textures, including Dirt (to create ambient occlusion per material)
NEW! Ambient Occlusion
NEW! IES Lights and Spotlights
NEW! Material Layer Arrangement
NEW! Faster Parsing Times
NEW! Support for SketchUp Transparency and Alpha Transparency
True raytraced reflections and refractions
Glossy reflections and refractions
Indirect Illumination (global illumination, global lighting). Different approaches include direct computation (brute force), and irradiance maps.
Area shadows (soft shadows). Includes box and sphere emitters
True HDRI support. Includes support of proper texture coordinate handling for both cubic and angular maps. Map your images directly without distortions or cropping.
Fully multithreaded raytracing engine
Native SketchUp materials supported and integrated into V-Ray Materials
Antialiasing. Includes fixed, simple 2-level and adaptive approaches.
Reusable irradiance maps (save and load support). Incremental sampling for fly- through animations.
Displacement
V-Ray Material Editor with Material Preview
V-Ray Sun and Sky
V-Ray Physical Camera
Depth-Of-Field camera effect.
Distributed Rendering allowing a single image to be process over up to 10 machines
Per Material GI, Background, Reflection, and Refraction
V-Ray Two-Sided Material for easy creation of thin translucency
Caustics
Animation Support
