Chaos Group has presented the new version of production-proven rendering tool with a full suite of tools to create professional photoreal imagery and animations.
Chaos Group has presented V-Ray 3.6 for Maya. The updated version adds hybrid rendering, improved compositing output, support for Maya 2018 and more.
What’s new?
HYBRID RENDERING
V-Ray GPU CUDA now renders on CPUs as well as GPUs, to take full advantage of all available hardware.
CRYPTOMATTE
Automatically generate ID mattes with support for transparency, depth of field and motion blur. This will speed up workflows for compositors working in NUKE or Fusion.
VIEWPORT 2.0 IMPROVEMENTS
V-Ray lights can now illuminate objects in Viewport 2.0, making light setup much easier. Direct support for environmental reflections and V-Ray materials have also been added.
FULL LIGHT SELECT RENDER ELEMENT
Render individual lights or groups of lights as separate render elements, with full support for global illumination, reflections and refractions for accurate light mixing in post.
MDL MATERIALS
NVIDIA’s universal material format is now supported in V-Ray for Maya, allowing designers to apply MDL materials authored in programs like Substance Designer to their assets and scenes.
NVIDIA NVLINK
Supports shared GPU memory across NVLink compatible graphics cards.
