Key Features

New in V-Ray NEXT for Rhino:

Rendering

CPU, GPU AND HYBRID RENDERING
V-Ray comes with two powerful rendering engines. You can choose between super-fast GPU and CPU or Hybrid rendering to best suit your project needs and requirements.

DENOISER
Remove noise and dramatically cut the render times. With V-Ray Denoiser, you can denoise each render element in post-production. And with the NVIDIA AI Denoiser, V-Ray delivers instant feedback with less noise, while you design interactively.

INTERACTIVE RENDERING
Render while you design. See results right away as you adjust lights, materials and cameras. You could also look at the denoised image while rendering in the Rhino viewport.

RENDER ELEMENTS
Render separate layers for more artistic control in image-editing software.

V-RAY SWARM
Render with maximum power using V-Ray’s new simple and scalable distributed rendering.

ANIMATIONS
V-Ray for Rhino enables light studies, turntables and fly-through animations rendering and an optimal way.

V-RAY FOR GRASSHOPPER
V-Ray for Grasshopper is now quicker and simpler with new preset lighting and material setups. Grasshopper objects can be rendered directly as part of the Rhino scene without baking geometry.

AUTOMATING SNAPSHOTS & BATCH RENDERS
V-Ray Batch makes it easy to render snapshots from the same project or views from multiple Rhino files all at once.

SCENE INTELLIGENCE
Automatically analyzes your scene to optimize rendering so you get the best quality in less time.

VIEWPORT RENDERING
An overlay on top of SketchUp's viewport. It is rendered interactively and if scene changes are made, updates the rendered result.

System Requirements

Please note that V-Ray for Rhino version 2.0 and earlier are no longer supported.

Materials and other V-Ray data saved with V-Ray older than v2.0 will not be read. If you need to migrate an outdated scene, you will need to perform a 2-step migration - first one to v3.60.02 and a second one to V-Ray Next.

To do so, first visit download.chaosgroup.com, enable the "Show older versions" checkbox and download V-Ray 3.60.02. Then, uninstall V-Ray Next for Rhino and install v3.60.02 instead.

Open your outdated project, inspect the scene materials through the V-Ray Asset Editor and save the project. This will trigger the automatic V-Ray data migration. Finally, install V-Ray Next again.
