V-Ray for Cinema 4D puts industry-standard technology for photorealistic 3D rendering into the hands of Cinema 4D artists and designers. With smart tools and powerful rendering capabilities, V-Ray’s combination of speed and creative control is perfect for any project.
V-Ray 5 brings a whole new rendering experience to Cinema 4D. With new smart tools and workflows, plus an intuitive interface, it’s faster and easier than ever. V-Ray 5 for Cinema 4D goes beyond rendering with built-in compositing and interactive light mixing.
V-Ray 5, update 2 is here to help streamline your workflow. Bring your scenes to life in no time with Chaos Cosmos materials, easily randomize textures with V-Ray UVW Randomizer, explore your scenes in real-time with zero setup thanks to the Chaos Vantage Live Link, and instantly adjust the detail of your renders right from the VFB with the new Blur and Sharpen layers. And much more to maximize efficiency and performance. |
Interactive post-processing right in the new V-Ray Frame Buffer.
