Vray for Unreal Engine

[duke2]

So is the suggestion here that chaos group are creating some kind of "importer" for lack of better words that will enable me to take my scene from 3DS Max (with VRay materials and lights) into Unreal engine with only a few clicks, or have I missed the point entirely, or is it too early to say?

My guess is it's more integrated than that. VRay can render GLSL shaders. Unreal outputs GLSL, thus it should be able to render Unreal materials as they are.

ooooooooh.

Seems a lot of former Autodesk staff went to Epic Games. Mark Petit and Chris Murray are on the Speakers list. Also Ken Pimentel is now with Epic Games.

Looks like that, though i hope VRay for Unreal will have baking solution - that is a top requested feature. Though it is cool to have VRay to render cinematics in Unreal!

I just saw the video presentation and was pretty impressed. So for the first version we'll get VRay rendering in UE4 with special objects corresponding with VRay objects like the domelight, etc.

Vlado if you need any testers let me know, we're going to be bringing a project back to VRay because we weren't getting the quality we wanted in UE4 so this would be perfect

Wait, does this mean you can use the Unreal terrain tools with VRay?

Take a look at the comments.

Comments by people who seemingly don't use UE4 or VRay day to day. Some of them are baffling.

Im a bit confused, is this essentially Vray RT in UE4?

[duke2]

It's regular vanilla VRay in UE4, treating UE4 as a DCC app.

I asked this question before ....I'm using Enscape3d a lot as design tool ...real-time tours mono and VR and to communicate with my clients (design). Vlado mentioned that they are working on something similar. Any news about that?

Twinmotion 2018 is using UE engine and I like the assets but the quality is not very good and it's expensive. Enscape3d is one click away literally and it has a very nice GI for a Realtime engine (for Revit, Sketchup, Rhino)....Besides that one can create an EXE file and you don't need a license to navigate it.

If Chaosgroup will offer something similar I would buy it the same day they release it.

Perhaps you should make another thread instead of hijacking this one.

It's been a while. Any news regarding Vray for Unreal, yet ?

I'm using UE4 for a lot of industrial visualisation. I'd really like to GPU render Sequences from UE4 with VRay RT. There's also a ton of stuff I can do in UE4 that would be very difficult in 3dsMax or Maya. I can't wait ( beta test..... )
