Each preset also factors in real-world lighting conditions, so new lights blend perfectly as they are added by the user. Light Gen automatically generates dozens of physically-based lighting variations for each project, helping it illuminate exteriors and interiors using V-Ray’s Sun & Sky system and a wealth of included HDRI images. It allows for the rapid exploration of a variety of lighting possibilities.

V-Ray Vision can also quickly snapshot images or output animated sequences, allowing architects and designers to share their work with project stakeholders.Īnother major feature in V-Ray 5 for SketchUp is the new Light Gen tool. Now with V-Ray 5 for SketchUp, designers can work directly with clients and run through iterative options and get instant photo-realistic feedback they can also navigate these 3D spaces in real-time. V-Ray 5 for SketchUp offers new real-time rendering technology with V-Ray Vision.Īdding “real-time” rendering capabilities to SketchUp-the world’s most popular 3D modeler and the most popular 3D software tool used in the architecture market-offers a game-changer effect to creative workflows. It’s a complete visualization solution from start to finish.” “When real-time is always available, you can understand your design more fully as you craft it, add detailed entourage without burdening the system, and know that all your lights and materials are ready for V-Ray photorealism when you need it. While it is GPU-bound and currently only works on Windows, we explain below details on why it is coming to macOS soon. “V-Ray Vision is going to transform how designers work in SketchUp, bringing an always-on real-time view of every project,” said Phillip Miller, VP of product management at Chaos Group.Ĭhaos Group has delivered on bringing “game-engine” real-time technology to the world of SketchUp rendering.


This new capability is brought to SketchUp and V-Ray user compliments to Chaos Group’s V-Ray Vision technology. This month Chaos Group announced the release of V-Ray 5 for SketchUp, a new update that merges real-time rendering and photorealistic rendering into a single workflow.
