Upgrade to V-Ray 5 for NUKE - From V-Ray Next for NUKE

• GPU RENDERING - You can now take advantage of faster multi-GPU performance on workstations, plus added support for Cryptomatte render elements.
• POWERFUL RAY TRACED RENDERING - V-Ray for Nuke brings powerful adaptive ray traced rendering to any compositing pipeline. It’s the most full-featured rendering solution for Nuke, NukeX and Nuke Studio.
• NODE-BASED INTEGRATION - With a full suite of advanced rendering tools and support for Nuke's native features, V-Ray for Nuke is a natural evolution of the compositing workflow.
• ACCURATE LIGHTING - Simulate realistic ray traced lighting and shadows with a wide range of light types including spot lights, area lights, HDR environments, Nuke lights and more.
• GLOBAL ILLUMINATION - Render accurate indirect illumination with V-Ray’s precise ray traced GI. Now with light cache support.
• PHYSICALLY-BASED MATERIALS - Create multilayered physical materials directly in Nuke. Choose from purpose-built shaders for car paint, SSS, skin and more.
• PRODUCTION-READY TEXTURES - Choose from a number of production-ready texture types including tiled EXR & TX files, layered textures, ambient occlusion and procedural noise.
• CAMERAS - Select from a variety of camera types including physical cameras, VR panoramas and Nuke projection cameras.
• VR CAMERAS - Render to popular VR formats including spherical and cubic 6x1 panoramas.
• GEOMETRY - Import Alembic, FBX and OBJ geometry with Nuke's built-in ReadGeo node.
• V-RAY SCENE ASSETS - Extract and reuse individual objects from a V-Ray Scene (.vrscene) file. If you need more control, you can define a set of objects to generate a reusable and customizable VRayScene asset.
• PROXY OBJECTS - Import and render memory-efficient proxy objects as Alembic or V-Ray mesh files.
• INSTANCING WITH PARTICLES - Instance V-Ray proxy objects using Nuke particles.
• V-RAY VOLUME GRID - Import and render volume simulations from applications like Houdini. Supports OpenVDB, Field3D and Phoenix FD files.
• PROGRESSIVE RENDERING - Fine-tune the look of your renders faster than ever. As you make adjustments to your scene, your rendering will update automatically.
• DEEP RENDERING - Improved deep rendering capabilities with support for deep volumes. Save disk space by generating deep data directly inside Nuke.
• RENDER ELEMENTS - Generate beauty, matte and utility passes on the fly. V-Ray for Nuke includes more than 37 built-in render elements for ultimate control.
• FULL LIGHT SELECT RENDER ELEMENT - Render individual or groups of lights as separate render elements, and accurately light mix in post with full support for global illumination, reflections and refractions.
• CRYPTOMATTE - Automatically generate ID mattes with support for transparency, depth of field and motion blur, speeding up workflows for compositors.
• V-RAY SCENE NODE - Import and render animated V-Ray scene (.vrscene) files.
• V-RAY TRANSLATOR NODE - Use the full power of V-Ray Standalone, including distributed rendering.
• V-RAY DENOISER - Automatically reduce noise for cleaner renders. Denoise individual render elements, apply noise masks and denoise final deep composites.
• HAIR WORKFLOWS - Render complete 3D creatures and characters directly in Nuke. Import hair geometry using V-Ray proxy objects, and assign V-Ray Hair material for optimized shading.

Why should compositors and studios use V-Ray Next for NUKE?

• Expands the 3d capabilities of NUKE, so compositors can light, render, and composite in one application
• Gives compositors better control over lighting, materials, render passes, and final shot output
• Lets compositors create any render element (render pass, matte, etc.) they need on the fly
• Allows compositors to adjust and match 2d and 3d elements simultaneously
• Gives compositors more creative freedom and artistic control
• Offers a familiar node-based workflow, making it easier to adopt
• Saves time and eliminates the back and forth between NUKE and 3d applications
• Maximizes project timelines by allowing compositors to make necessary changes up until final delivery
• Allows for a more collaborative, non-linear workflow between 3d and compositing teams
• Helps teams review, change, and final shots faster
