- High-quality visuals:Access to Emmy and Academy Award-winning rendering quality for photorealistic images and detailed lighting simulations.
- Chaos Cosmos access:Includes a library of ready-to-use 3D models, materials, and lighting elements to accelerate scene creation.
- Advanced rendering tools:Features include interactive rendering, light mixing, advanced scattering, and support for OpenPBR materials.
- GPU rendering:Faster and more efficient GPU rendering capabilities, including out-of-core textures and support for Caustics.
- New features in V-Ray 7:Highlights include support for Gaussian splats for environments, improved lighting tools, and easier scene detailing.
- Cost-effective:A great entry-point for users who want to leverage V-Ray's power on a single machine without the higher cost of floating licenses.
V-Ray system requirements vary depending on the specific host application (e.g., SketchUp, 3ds Max, Maya). Generally, a 64-bit operating system, a compatible processor (Intel or AMD with AVX2 support), a minimum of 8GB of RAM (64GB recommended), and sufficient hard drive space are needed. GPU acceleration is often supported, especially for V-Ray GPU, requiring NVIDIA cards with specific compute capabilities and up-to-date drivers. IPv4 is typically required, with IPv6 not currently supported. Specific versions of host applications (like SketchUp or 3ds Max) are also required.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
General Requirements:
- Operating System: 64-bit versions of Windows 10 or Windows 11 are generally required.
- Processor: Intel or AMD processors with AVX2 support are needed, according to Chaos docs.
- RAM: Minimum 8 GB RAM, with 16GB or more recommended. Some applications may require 64GB or more, depending on scene complexity.
- Hard Disk Space: A minimum of 2GB is needed, with 12GB or more recommended, including additional downloadable content.
- TCP/IP: IPv4 is typically required.
