V-Ray 5.2 for Revit available!
V-Ray 5.2 for Revit is officially available for download now and now contains linked replacements, scatter and more!
What's New
- Linked replacements control — Total creative control over V-Ray material and object replacements in the BIM model’s linked files from within the host project. Reuse previous work and achieve visual consistency.
- Scatter — Add hundreds of objects on any surface in an intuitive and memory-efficient way. Users can disperse multiple objects simultaneously and control their size, orientation, and density for maximum realism.
- Chaos Vantage Live Link — The most complex scenes can now be explored in pure ray traced real-time with zero setup. Users can navigate and interact with the model’s true lighting and materials, and create animations and images with ease. An NVIDIA® RTX card is required to make the most of Vantage.
- Chaos Cosmos improvements
- Chaos' collection of render-ready content now also contains materials, which users can use out-of-the-box and also customize their color, bump, gloss and more.
- Object's Material parameters such as color can now be changed or you can completely replace a material to get the desired look.
- All Cosmos family items are now conveniently organized into a separate sub-tab of the Families tab, making it easier to access and distinguish them.
- V-Ray Material improvements — The new thin-walled reflection control allows users to effortlessly create complex transparent and translucent materials.
- More artistic control in post — The V-Ray Frame Buffer now has a sharpen and blur effect to polish final renders.
- V-Ray Vision improvements
- Standalone app export - Share a project via an executable file which recipients can open even without having a V-Ray license so they can enjoy the full functionality of V-Ray Vision - including navigation controls, color correction parameters and more!
- Native sun studies from Revit can now be loaded into Vision for lighting studies.
- Preset grass can now be added to any surface for more realistic terrains.
- IES light profiles can now be used for more realistic presentations in Vision.
- Ambient Light Mode to give a brighter presentation of scarcely lit spaces like interiors without direct sunlight.
- And more performance and quality improvements.
