V-Ray 5 for Maya
Product Overview:
The world's most complete rendering software for animation and visual effects.
For 3D artists who need a fast and flexible renderer, V-Ray is built for speed, and designed for production. No matter the project, V-Ray delivers when it matters most.
Academy Award-winning rendering technology.
V-Ray is production-proven. For more than a decade V-Ray has been used by the world’s leading studios to render over 300 television series and feature films. In 2017, V-Ray’s ray tracing technology received a Sci-Tech Academy Award for its contribution to photorealistic visual effects.

High-powered rendering at any scale.
Take full advantage of your hardware with production rendering that scales on multiple CPUs, GPUs, or both. You can even render a single image across multiple machines with distributed rendering.

Seamless integration with your pipeline.
V-Ray works seamlessly with Maya and your studio pipeline. ACEScg support is new in V-Ray 5, joining other industry standards like Alembic, OpenVDB, and OpenColorIO. Your favorite Maya plugins are also compatible, including Golaem, Massive, Ornatrix, Phoenix FD, and Yeti.

Easy to deploy and customize.
V-Ray is easy to deploy on any Windows, macOS, or Linux network. V-Ray licenses are floating and can be centrally served and locally checked out. And V-Ray Standalone allows for headless rendering across your render farm.
V-Ray for Maya also includes two software development kits to customize your rendering workflow. For example, you can write custom shaders with the V-Ray SDK (C++) or build custom pipeline tools with the V-Ray App SDK (Python).

LIGHTING & ILLUMINATION
GLOBAL ILLUMINATION
Choose from ray traced and hybrid global illumination methods for the perfect balance of quality and speed.
CAMERAS AND OPTICAL EFFECTS
LENS EFFECTS
Adds support for Cryptomatte render elements.
Fast and accurate simulation of real-world camera lens effects like bloom and glare with dust and scratches. Available as a Nuke plugin to add directly in compositing.
VIRTUAL REALITY
Experience your project in virtual reality. Create content for popular VR headsets with 6x1 cubic and spherical stereo camera types.
MATERIALS
PHYSICAL MATERIAL
Create any type of physically-based material with multiple layers.
UNIQUE SHADERS
Choose from a collection of specialty and purpose-built shaders for SSS, hair, car paint, utility shaders and more
MATERIAL PRESETS
Save time creating common materials with presets for aluminum, chrome, glass and more.
TEXTURES
MEMORY-EFFICIENT TEXTURES
Work with multi-resolution tiled textures from top applications MARI, Mudbox and Zbrush.
GEOMETRY
PROXY GEOMETRY
Render massive scenes with proxy objects. V-Ray proxies also support layered alembic files and efficiently replace complex scene geometry and load only at render time.
ATMOSPHERIC & VOLUMETRIC EFFECTS
VOLUME RENDERING
Render fog, smoke and atmospheric effects that respond correctly to light. Bring in volumes from Houdini, FumeFX, Phoenix FD and OpenVDB caches.
RENDER ELEMENTS
LIGHT PATH EXPRESSIONS
Output any lighting contributions with Light Path Expressions for fine-grained control in compositing. Use boolean operations to easily combine LPEs, or quick start with built-in presets.

What's New
LIGHT MIX
Now, from a single render, you can create dozens of lighting scenarios. Change the color and intensity of lights in real-time without having to render again. When you have the look you want, you can save your light mix recipe, send the layers to comp, and update the lights in the scene.
NEW COMPOSITOR
Composite your renders in the new V-Ray Frame Buffer. Now it includes a layer-based compositor that allows you to combine render passes, set blending modes, and adjust colors without going to a separate app.
LIGHT PATH EXPRESSIONS
For better control in compositing, construct your own render passes with Light Path Expressions. Output specific light contributions with timesaving presets or by writing custom expressions. Expressions can even be combined with Boolean operations.
NEW V-RAY PROXY
The new V-Ray Proxy is fast to work with and easy to manage. Proxies now load in the background when opening your scene, so you can start working right away. Plus a new hierarchy view allows you to select, hide, and assign materials to objects inside proxies. You can even create rules to easily modify multiple objects at once.
