V-Ray 3.0 for Maya Beta is now available from Chaos Group

 
August 28th, 2014 by Susan Smith

The Chaos Group is responsible for developing V-Ray, a staple rendering engine for architectural visualization that has its roots in the film industry. Rendering is also a vital part of the design process, so the company works with architects and visualization artists to build the exact tools they need to communicate their designs from concept to final presentation.

The products they were showing at AIA Chicago this year were V-Ray for 3ds Max, V-Ray for SketchUp and V-Ray for Rhino. Chaos Group technology partner and virtual reality pioneer, Nurulize, offered an exclusive preview of AtomView, which connects V-Ray rendering with the Oculus Rift. AtomView will allow designers to accurately visualize and explore their designs in a fully immersive, photorealistic environment. Designers from Gensler, BIG and Studio JDK were at the Chaos Group booth to discuss their latest projects.

A new update to V-Ray 3.0 for Maya Beta is now available. You may now define render regions using an object selection or image mask using the Render Mask feature. If you’re participating in the public beta, be sure to download this latest version.

•    Render Mask support

•    Simplified render settings user interface
•    VRayFastSSS2/VRaySkinMtl: Optimized raytraced multiple scattering
•    Optimized rendering performance with tiled textures
