V-Ray for 3Ds Max

3d Studio Max users in all fields depend on the V-Ray 3S Max plug-in as a quick, easy and cost-efficient way to render their most cutting-edge images.

Developed by the Chaos Group, V-Ray for 3d Studio Max offers its users a set of features that you would expect from a quality renderer. With its fast fully-multithreaded raytracing engine it takes the advantage of all the CPUs supported by your system throughout its pipeline - preparation and rendering.

Capable of making accurate reflections and refractions clean or glossy and blurred this plugin helps achieve astonishing realism in the computer generated realm. System requirements for the program are identical to 3d Studio Max.

V-Ray for 3D Studio Max Features

• True raytraced reflections and refractions
• Glossy reflections and refractions
• Translucency (with volume fog) for creating wax, marble, smoked glass
• Area shadows (soft shadows). Includes box and sphere emitters.
• Indirect Illumination (global illumination, global lighting). Different approaches include direct computation (brute force), and irradiance maps.
• Motion Blur. Includes stochastic sampling approach
• Depth-Of-Field camera effect.
• Anti-aliasing. Includes fixed, simple 2 level and adaptive approaches.
• Caustics (Radiosity)
• G-Buffer (RGBA, material/object ID, Z-buffer)
• G-buffer based antialiasing.
• Reusable irradiance maps (save and load support). Incremental sampling for fly-through animations.
• Motion blur with analytic sampling
• True HDRI support. Includes *.hdr, *.rad image loader with proper texture coordinates handling for both cubic and angular maps support. Map your images directly without distortions or cropping.
• Built-in area lights for physically correct illumination
• Built-in material for faster materials calculations
• Distributed rendering for utilizing all of your studios computers.
• Different camera types: fish-eye, spherical, cylindrical and cubic cameras
• Network license management for using our VRay system throughout your network with less licenses.
