V-Ray Next for SketchUp Update 2 is officially available for download now. The update for this high-end render plugin for SketchUp Pro contains the following improvements:
- SketchUp 2020 Support — V-Ray supports the latest version of SketchUp.
- RTX Support — Boost the GPU performance with NVIDIA RTX technology (only available with supported hardware).
- Proxies with Materials — Import or create a proxy mesh asset and V-Ray will automatically generate a set of material slots, making it easier to manage materials.
- Color assistant — Choose the exact color with the right hue, saturation and value variation with the Color Assistant, V-Ray Color Picker's new extension.
- Improved materials — Optimized underlying shading structure of all scene materials, so advanced attributes can now be added or removed without cluttering the material properties.
- Unified installer — Smooth, single-step installation of all the components included in the V-Ray package.
- Color themes — A new “Bright” color theme is now available for the V-Ray user interface.
- Partial scene export — Export only the current selection as a .vrscene file containing its applied materials, lights and other V-Ray special objects.
- VRscans enhancement — The VRscans material now includes a triplanar texture projection mode, removing the need for UV mapping of objects that use the material.
