V-Ray

Product Description

V-Ray is a much touted renderer that has been brought to bear on projects across the CG spectrum but in particular the Architectural Design Visualization space.

V-Ray offers a great set of features for all your rendering needs. A fast, multi-threaded raytracing engine takes the advantage of all the CPUs supported by your system and is capable of making accurate reflections and refractions to achieve astonishing realism.

Simulation of focusing (Depth-of-Field) helps in simulating real-life cameras and different methods of illumination simulation and caustics calculations help with per-object based property adjustments helping artists achieve great rendering performance for fine art photorealistic images.

Features

  • Multi-platform object-oriented API
  • Fully multithreaded core
  • Efficient geometry handling
  • True instance rendering
  • Three different image sampling methods
  • Full-scene anti-aliasing
  • Physically accurate full global illumination solutions
  • Different GI algorithms: path tracing, irradiance cache, photon maps, light cache Depth-of-field
  • Accurate motion blur
  • Physical camera model
  • Extensible with custom cameras through the V-Ray SDK
