Product description
V-Ray for 3ds Max is an Academy Award-winning, industry-standard, production-proven rendering software. Known for its versatility and ability to handle any type of project — from scenes with massive geometry and many lights to a single building or simple interiors — V-Ray is preferred by many 3D artists. It is used by 95% of the top AEC firms worldwide and in countless films.
V-Ray’s modern and efficient material library workflow, faster look-development with material presets, and flexible post-processing features can save users time, take them beyond just rendering and help them focus on artistic exploration — from a single creation tool. V-Ray for 3ds Max is the world’s most complete 3D rendering software for high-end visualization and production.
What it’s used for
Architectural visualization | Game cinematics |
Automotive and product design | Visual effects in film and television |
Industrial design | Virtual reality |
V-Ray for 3ds Max users
▪ They are usually highly technical and can work well with advanced settings in 3ds Max and V-Ray.
▪ These artists have a good understanding of space, form and function.
▪ They deliver high-quality designs that go beyond customers’ expectations.
▪ They are also responsible for multiple visualization projects at a time and are looking to develop an efficient, streamlined workflow.
▪ They usually have too much to do within a limited time period.
▪ Software quality, and the efficiency and reliability it brings to workflows, is more important to these users than cost.
Key benefits for users
Easily handle their toughest scenes. V-Ray is built to handle the biggest projects and scenes with massive geometry and thousands of lights. Users can render anything and everything with V-Ray. Utilize their hardware for maximum performance. | V-Ray helps users deliver projects faster and meet the tightest deadlines. V-Ray’s GPU and CPU rendering capabilities bring a speed boost to any production and lets users cut render times. |
Create interactive experiences in real-time — in a 100% raytraced environment. With Chaos Vantage users can present their ideas in 100% ray-traced quality without the need of extra optimizations and conversions. Make project changes directly in 3ds Max and validate your designs on the spot. | Post-process their renders without the need for a separate tool. The redesigned V-Ray Frame Buffer with light mixing and layered compositing means users only need to use one tool for rendering and post-processing — no need to go back and forth between different apps. |
Free up their machine with quick and easy cloud rendering. Users can turn their computers into supercomputers with Chaos Cloud — the cloud rendering built right into V-Ray. They can keep working on their designs while rendering on the cloud. | Streamline their pipeline across different platforms. With the wide range of platforms that V-Ray supports, it’s easy to merge assets or exchange projects for material coordination and consistency across platforms. For example, users can share materials or render geometry from V-Ray for Rhino to V-Ray for 3ds Max, or vice versa. |
Interoperability with other V-Ray products
V-Ray for 3ds Max can further enhance a Rhino or SketchUp workflow with the addition of V-Ray for Rhino or V-Ray for SketchUp.
▪ Fluid, fire and smoke simulations can be added with Chaos Phoenix.
▪ More lighting and shading options can be added during the compositing stage by using V-Ray for Nuke.
▪ Professional image sequencing can be added with PdPlayer.
▪ V-Ray for 3ds Max supports VRscans which allows for the most physically accurate materials to be used.
▪ V-Ray supports many tools and provides optimized support for numerous third-party plugins.
▪ Chaos Cloud gives one-click access to cloud rendering directly from V-Ray’s UI.
