V-Ray 3.7 for NUKE

V-Ray 3.7 for NUKE 1-Month Rental's approach to lighting and compositing integrates production-quality ray traced rendering into NUKE and NUKEX. V-Ray's industry standard ray traced renderer inside NUKE's industry standard compositing package gives artists the best of both worlds.

• Progressive rendering - Progressive rendering to help you fine-tune the look of your renders faster than ever. As you make adjustments to your scene, your rendering will update automatically, taking full advantage of your hardware — including GPU-acceleration.
• New hair workflows - For the first time, 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. For even more control, use the new V-Ray Hair Sampler node with the V- Ray Ramp texture to add randomization and color variation.

Powerful Ray Traced Rendering

V-Ray 3.7 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 3.7 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.

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.

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.

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 3.7 for NUKE includes more than 37 built-in render elements for ultimate control.

Full Light Select Render Element

Render individual lights or groups of lights as separate render elements, with full support for global illumination, reflections and refractions for accurate light mixing in post.

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.

• 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
