By /

The ultimate rendering software for high-end visualization and design – V-Ray for SketchUp & Rhino Out Now!


The industry standard rendering plugin for SketchUp.

 Chaos V-Ray is the leading photorealistic rendering plugin for SketchUp enabling 3D artists, designers, and architects to transform their models into lifelike visuals. Known for its versatility, high-end quality, and ability to handle projects of any scale, V-Ray has become the go-to-rendering solution for artists and designers with diverse visualization needs across multiple industries.V-Ray 7 transforms the traditional visualization workflow, allowing users to create 3D environments faster, optimize their design workflows and deliver immersive experiences for their clients. With an innovative toolset which is intuitive for beginners and also powerful for seasoned visualizers, V-Ray 7 enables users to meet tight deadlines and produce high-quality results quickly.With version 7, V-Ray for SketchUp affirms its position as the world’s most complete 3D rendering software for high-end visualization.

What’s new in V-Ray 7 for SketchUp?

● Faster Workflow: With 3D Gaussian Splatting, efficiently render complex 3D environments, and enjoy optimized viewport rendering for smoother SketchUp integration.

● Enhanced Presentations: Host designs on Chaos Cloud for immersive interactive virtual tours, and apply customizable looks using color correction filters in the V-Ray Frame Buffer.

● Streamlined Tools: Leverage material overrides and presets for quicker rendering iterations, gain improved control with scatter edge trimming, and access 400+ new Cosmos assets.

● Creative Enhancements: Use layered and gradient textures for precise control over patterns and colors, and add focus or retro effects with the Vignette Layer.

● Improved Lighting & Rendering: Adjust emissive lighting with the updated Light Mix, enjoy faster GPU rendering with enhanced caustics, and create realistic skies with the updated

PRG Sky.

● Convenience Features: Re-render specific areas using freeform render regions, apply post effects even when interrupted with stop rendering anytime, and benefit from default

automatic denoising.
