This version packs the time-saving, workflow-boosting new features of the latest V-Ray engine, as well as an improved integration SDK with increased API capabilities.

Highlights in V-Ray AppSDK 6 include:

• New simplified Animation API - Every Plugin property value can now be set or read via a method call with a time parameter. The old API still works.
• Support for Python 3.10 and Electron 16.
• V-Ray Profiler - See reports on time spent calculating shaders and volumes in your scenes for even faster rendering.
• All-new V-Ray 6 rendering capabilities:
  • Optimized rendering with specific scene setups such as V-Ray Environment Fog, Translucent materials, and the new Illumination mode.
  • Light Cache in Interactive mode, allowing artists to make better decisions faster.
  • V-Ray Enmesh, Procedural clouds, enhanced V-Ray Material energy preservation…
