We have just released V-Ray 5 for Maya and the builds are available for download on our website.
See what's new on our website and on our documentation pages.
V-Ray 5 highlights:
Redesigned VFB with Light Mix and Compositing
Explore lighting scenarios in real-time without having to render again and composite your renders direcly in the new V-Ray Frame Buffer.
Light Path Expressions
Output custom render passes for extra control in compositing. Expressions can be combined with boolean operations.
There's built-in presets and a visual LPE Builder tool.
ACEScg color management
The industry standard color encoding system is now built into V-Ray.
All-new V-Ray Proxy
Proxies now load in the backgroun to keep the UI responsive. The new hierarchy view gives access to the entire contents of the proxy file. Overrides to visibility and materials can be applied directly in the hirarchy view or with rule-based patterns matching. Scene loading and rendering is faster and there's a built-in conversion from scenes using the old proxy.
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 Maya forums.
* 3-rd party plugin developers may need some time to update their compatibility for V-Ray 5.
Sincerely,
The V-Ray for Maya team
