New Real-Time Advances
V-Ray Vision has been updated. The technology component of V-Ray 5 is designed to serve everything that comes before a final render. It offers real-time views of your scene that updates as you work. The latest update expands on the cores features, with more options for the “always on” viewport. This is what is new:
- Shareable 3D scenes — Users can package their V-Ray Vision scenes for others to experience in real-time 3D on their own machine — no license or additional software required. Just hit export and reviewers can experience your full scene with the full functionality of V-Ray Vision, including navigation controls, color correction parameters and more.
- Video recording — Users can now record their real-time experiences directly to video to easily share walkthroughs and presentations with others.
- Sun animation support — New support for SketchUp, Rhino and Grasshopper sun animations enables quick solar studies.
- Grass support — A grass preset can now be added to any surface to help build realistic terrains in an intuitive way.
- IES lights support — Photometric IES light profiles can now be visualized within V-Ray Vision, adding real-world lighting into any interior.
- Highly efficient instancing — Scenes using multitudes of instances, such as forests, grass fields, packed parking lots and more, can now continue to operate at real-time speeds.
