We're thrilled to announce the latest update to V-Ray 6 for Rhino, packed with powerful features that empower users to take their designs to new heights. With this update, designers and artists can achieve even higher realism, fine-tune their renders with precision, and enjoy seamless collaboration.

Discover the benefits of V-Ray 6, Update 1:

Better Compatibility with Enscape
Now, you can ensure a consistent visual appearance across your projects, making the transition between Enscape and V-Ray smoother than ever before. Enscape’s exposure, cloud, and environment settings can now be effortlessly migrated to V-Ray, allowing artists to leverage their work without starting from scratch.

Decal Cylindrical Projection
It is now easier than ever to apply stickers, labels, or surface imperfections onto cylindrical objects such as bottles, jars, cups, or cans. In addition, you can automatically size the decal based on a texture from various sources.

Decal displacement
Use V-Ray Decal to add displacement to any surface for even more realistic effects such as cracked walls, rocks, embossed lettering, and more.

Improved Procedural Clouds
The new V-Ray Sky contrails layer enables the simulation of airplane contrails within your design, expanding the possibilities for realism and artistic expression.

Enhanced V-Ray Material
Generate emissive and semi-emissive materials quickly and easily with the newly added self-illumination parameters in the Generic V-Ray material.

Improved Compatibility of V-Ray Lights
V-Ray lights now retain changes to their own properties, rather than applying them to the Rhino source, which also improves compatibility with Enscape. Additionally, you can convert V-Ray lights to native Rhino lights and vice versa with a click of a button.

Access to More Assets.
Enhance your projects with an even wider selection of pre-made patterns. You can now easily browse and import Enmesh presets from Chaos Cosmos.

V-Ray GPU - Mesh Clipper Support.
Now you can render intricate cutaways and sections of any mesh object with ease. The GPU engine fully supports mesh clippers, including both CUDA and RTX.

Masking for Lens Effects
Post-production control with masking support for Lens Effect has been boosted. Choose specific lights and materials to apply lens effects.

V-Ray Emissive Material Post-Processing.
With LightMix you can now edit self-illuminating objects in your scene even after rendering.

Panorama Image Preview
Explore and fine-tune your spherical renders in 360° directly within the V-Ray Frame Buffer. During the panorama mode, the preview output is displayed as a mono image, so it’s easier to make edits.

Cloud Collaboration Visual Annotations
Use visual annotations to easily communicate your ideas. Don’t limit yourself to words .

Cloud Collaboration Versioning
Upload and share different versions of your files for review. Allow teammates and clients to compare and critique your work for a smoother decision-making process.

Textures and Mapping Controls
Achieve breathtaking skies and environments with the newly added V-Ray components. Refine the environment projection and texture 2D mapping to your exact specifications. To further enhance your designs, we have also included three commonly used procedural texture components - sky, gradients, and color and texture mixing. And, one more new component for rendering outlines.

Improved Lights
All light components now feature a Unit parameter, such as watts or lumens, which enables you to establish real-world light intensity.

Cloud Rendering
You can now export your Grasshopper designs directly for cloud rendering, including all types of animations.

V-Ray is now available in three plans: Solo, Premium, and Enterprise.

The Solo plan gives independent artists and freelancers an affordable and full-featured solution for rendering on one computer.
The Premium plan is perfect for those who need access to floating licenses and Chaos companion products such as Phoenix, Player, Scans, and Vantage.
The Enterprise plan is ideal for large studios considering volume purchases. 

Users can now render with V-Ray in any host application and benefit from the powerful suite of Chaos products and services with just a single license. Each of the new plans (Solo, Premium, and Enterprise) includes Chaos Cosmos’ high-quality assets. Last but not least, all V-Ray plans include high-quality support at no extra cost.
