We have just released V-Ray 5 for Houdini and the builds are available for download on our website.
See what's new on our website and on our documentation pages, or check the complete V-Ray 5 release notes.
V-Ray 5 highlights:
Redesigned VFB with Light Mix and Compositing
Easily create different lighting scenarios without having to render again. When you have the look you want, you can save your light mix setup, send the layers to comp, and update the lights in the scene.
We’ve expanded the capabilities of the VFB. With the VFB’s new Layer Compositor you can fine-tune your images — combine render passes, set blending modes, and adjust colors all within V-Ray.
Light Path Expressions
For better control in compositing, construct your own render passes with Light Path Expressions. Output specific light contributions with timesaving presets or by writing custom expressions.
ACEScg color management
The industry standard color encoding system is now built into V-Ray.
V-Ray Material Library
Efficiently browse from a library of over 500 render-ready materials including metals, glass, wood and more.
Material updates
Coat and Sheen layer are added to the V-Ray material for efficient coating and rendering of fabrics.
Presets for common materials are added to the V-Ray material, including for fabrics, and for different natural and dyed hair for VRayHairNextMtl.
Texture updates
Randomize textures and colors with the new VRayUVWRandomizer and the new randomization options in VRayMultiSubTex.
Automatically remove texture tiling artifacts with the new Stochastic Tiling option in VRayUVWRandomizer.
Add weathering with the new procedural streaks in VRayDirt.
All V-Ray 5 features are supported equally on V-Ray and V-Ray GPU
In addition, V-Ray GPU now supports 2D displacement, OSL textures, memory tracking and provides an initial out-of-core implementation for geometry.
There are many more new features and improvements, including:
New Sun and Sky model for better rendering of sunrises and sunsets.
Blue Noise Optimization for a cleaner look with less samples.
Please note that:
* All Beta licenses will be suspended. At the same time, trials are reset and available to all users.
* The beta forum will be locked as read-only. All V-Ray 5 forum communication will continue in the usual V-Ray for Houdini forums.
Enjoy!
