Notable new features:

• Volume Grid - Import and render volume simulations using industry-standard volume formats, including OpenVDB, Field3D, and Phoenix FD.
• Deep Rendering - Improved deep rendering capabilities with support for deep volumes, offering full control over 3D depth information.
• V-Ray Denoiser - Automatically reduce noise for cleaner renders. Denoise individual render elements, apply denoise masks and denoise final deep composites.
• Light Cache GI - Speed up renders with V-Ray's unique global illumination method. Enable the new Adaptive Lights algorithm to make it even faster.
• Improved Render Elements - Render elements generated in V-Ray for NUKE or rendered in V-Ray Standalone can now be used interchangeably. In addition, all render elements can be cached with a single render.
• V-Ray Triplanar texture - Apply seamless textures to complex objects without UVs.
• V-Ray Falloff texture - Control an object's shading effects in relation to the camera. Use NUKE Curves for even more control.
• V-Ray Clipper - Create quick sections and cutaways at render time using a clipping plane or mesh object.
• V-Ray Spot Light - Create spotlights with textured projections, barn door controls and soft shadows.
