V-Ray 5 for Revit - Subscription

V-Ray Next for Revit Workstation License is a rendering plugin that lets you create professional-quality images directly from Revit models. It helps you explore, present your designs and make critical design decisions at every stage of the design lifecycle — from schematic design, through design development and construction documents to the final polished marketing materials. When it comes to quality, it can be tailored to any requirements along the design process, helping you achieve the highest level or realism.

Key Features

Rendering: 

• CPU, GPU & HYBRID RENDERING - V-Ray comes with two powerful rendering engines. You can choose between super-fast GPU and CPU or Hybrid rendering to best suit your project needs and requirements.
• INTERACTIVE RENDERING - Render interactively while you design. Fine-tune lights, materials and cameras and see the results right away.
• DENOISER - A new NVIDIA AI Denoiser uses artificial intelligence to remove noise in an instant. And the V-Ray Denoiser supports denoising individual render channels to simplify compositing.
• RENDER CHANNELS - Choose from many unique beauty, utility and matte passes to give you more control over your rendered images in compositing.
• SCENE INTELLIGENCE - Automatically analyzes your scene to optimize rendering so you get the best quality in less time.
• CHAOS CLOUD - Rendering on the Cloud is just one click away.
• V-RAY SWARM - Powerful and scalable distributed rendering system that's simple and fast. Get an extra speed boost with V-Ray Render nodes.
• SETTINGS MANAGEMENT - Easy to share render settings across teams and projects.

User Interface:

• SEAMLESS INTEGRATION - V-Ray naturally fits into Revit's UI and complements your Revit workflow without altering your BIM database.
• ASSET EDITOR - Create, edit, save and manage your V-Ray materials all in one place with the new Asset Editor. Various advanced materials give designers even more control to fine-tune their designs.
• APPEARANCE MANAGER - Take your Revit renders to the next level. With the Appearance Manager, you can set basic Revit assets to automatically switch to more realistic V-Ray assets at render time.
• FRAME BUFFER - Track history of your rendered images, fine-tune their color parameters and save them directly to your Revit project.

Lighting:

• ACCURATE LIGHTING - Simulate any type of natural, artificial, or image-based lighting.V-Ray automatically converts all Revit lights to V-Ray ones and further extends Revit's lighting capabilities.
• ADAPTIVE LIGHTS - This lighting algorithm dramatically speeds up rendering in scenes containing many lights.
• ADAPTIVE DOME LIGHT - Render image-based lighting much faster with the new Adaptive Dome Light. It’s exceptionally quick for interiors and substantially speeds up your rendering.
• LIGHTING ANALYSIS - Easily visualize real-world illumination values (lux) with the new Lighting Analysis render element.

Camera:

• REAL-WORLD CAMERAS - Simulate photographic cameras from Revit’s native camera views.
• AUTO EXPOSURE AND WHITE BALANCE - It’s as simple as point and shoot. The V-Ray Physical Camera can now set the correct camera exposure and white balance automatically.
• LENS EFFECTS - Add that extra touch of photorealism with real-world camera lens effects such as bloom and glare.
• VIRTUAL REALITY - Experience your designs at 1:1 scale. Create content for popular VR headsets with 6x1 cubic and spherical stereo camera types.
• DOF AND VIGNETTING - Emphasize a particular part of your rendered model with advanced camera effects like DOF and vignetting.

Materials and Textures:

• PHYSICAL MATERIALS - Create great looking materials that look exactly like the real thing.
• MATERIAL LIBRARY - Over 500 high-quality architectural materials — compatible with V-Ray for 3ds Max, Rhino and SketchUp.
• NATIVE MATERIALS SUPPORT - Render an enhanced version of your Revit materials automatically.
• DECALS - Add images to paintings, signs, screens and more. V-Ray Next for Revit adds full support for Revit Decals.
• TEXTURE MAPS - Create realistic and unique shaders using any texture map or one of V-Ray’s many built-in procedural textures - Gradient, Temperature, Tri-Planar, etc.
• MATERIAL OVERRIDES - Make the most out of your early designs and get a feel of your project by quickly rendering cardboard models.
• VRSCANS - 1000+ scanned materials. Import and render directly in V-Ray.
• METALNESS - The V-Ray Material adds native support for metallic reflections (Metalness) for greater compatibility with PBR materials from applications like Substance Designer.

Atmospheric Effects:

• ENVIRONMENT FOG - Quickly add realistic atmospheric depth and haze and use true 3D fog with realistic light scattering.
• AERIAL PERSPECTIVE - Simulate natural looking skies with realistic atmospheric depth.
• VOLUMETRIC MATERIALS - Realistic material light scattering and translucency.

Geometry Management:

• V-RAY SCENE LINKING - Link render-ready V-Ray scene files (.vrscene) from your favorite V-Ray applications, complete with geometry, lights and materials.
• V-RAY PROXIES - Use your Revit families as stand-ins for V-Ray proxy objects. These are memory efficient models of highly detailed objects like trees and cars.
• V-RAY GRASS & FUR - Render realistic grass, carpets or fabric.
• RANDOMIZE PROXY OBJECTS - Add variety to your scene entourage such as plants and trees by randomizing the scale and rotation of V-Ray Proxy and V-Ray Scene instances.
• DISPLACEMENT - Quickly add surface detail without extra modeling. It’s perfect for architectural materials like brick and stone.
• SECTION BOX - Render sections easily with full support for Revit's native section box.
• INFINITE GROUND PLANE - Create context for your project in a click of a button.
• V-RAY SCENE EXPORT - Share complete ready to render V-Ray for Revit files.
