The world's most complete 3D rendering software

V-Ray for 3ds Max is a production-proven rendering software. Known for its versatility and ability to handle any type of project — from massive, dynamic scenes having thousands of lights to a sublime still life — it is the go-to solution for artists and designers across 3D industries.

V-Ray 5 For 3ds Max - What New?

V-Ray 5 for 3ds Max brings a modern and efficient material library workflow, faster look-development with material presets and flexible post-processing features that save you time and let you go beyond just rendering.

Key Features

Rendering

CPU AND GPU RENDERING

Powerful CPU and GPU rendering built for the demands of high-end production. V-Ray GPU CUDA renders on CPUs as well as GPUs to take full advantage of all hardware.

DENOISING

Automatically remove noise and reduce render times with V-Ray or NVIDIA AI denoiser.

CHAOS CLOUD

Render scenes directly to the cloud with a push of a button.

LIGHT MIX

Create dozens of lighting scenarios from a single render. Interactively edit the color and intensity of lights, and see the results without rendering again

DEBUG SHADING

Easily isolate textures, materials and geometry to help debug large shading networks in V-Ray IPR and V-Ray GPU IPR.

Lighting & Illumination

ADAPTIVE LIGHTS

Faster, cleaner and more accurate rendering in scenes containing many lights and image-based environment lighting.

LIGHTING ANALYSIS TOOLS

Accurately measure the light levels in your scene using the lighting analysis tools.

GLOBAL ILLUMINATION

Choose from several global illumination options – exact, approximate or a hybrid of both.

Cameras And Optical Effect

LENS EFFECTS

Fast and accurate simulation of real-world camera lens effects like bloom and glare with dust and scratches. Fine-tune lens effects interactively while you render.
