VRscans Plug-in is combination of a hardware-based scanning system and a software-based rendering plugin that work together to easily create material properties for creating realistic renderings without the usual workflow of texture maps and tweaking shader settings. This enables a high level of accuracy for visualizing real-world materials in renders.
The VRscans plugin is the part of V-Ray (v 3.5 and above) which provides the UI for importing, modifying and using the VRscans materials in the supported platforms:
The subscription includes access to the VRscans Library, which contains over1000 pre-scanned materials ready to be applied to 3D visualizations in 3ds Max, Maya, Rhino, SketchUp, Revit and Modo. The growing collection includes samples of car paint, fabric, leather, wood, plastic, metal and more.
