vR renderer (Vray 3ds Max)

VRay renderer is a high-quality rendering software produced by chaosgroup and asgvis, and promoted by Manheng Company in China. VRay renderer is currently the most popular rendering engine in the industry. Developed based on the V-Ray kernel, VRay For 3ds max, Maya, Sketchup, Rhino and many other versions, VRay renderer provides high-quality picture and animation rendering for excellent 3D modeling software in different fields.

vR renderer (Vray 3ds Max) software description

In addition, VRay can also provide a separate rendering program to facilitate users to render various images. The VRay renderer provides a special material - VrayMtl. Using this material in the scene can achieve more accurate physical lighting (light energy distribution), faster rendering, and more convenient adjustment of reflection and refraction parameters. Using VrayMtl you can apply different texture maps, control their reflections and refractions, add bump and displacement maps, force direct global illumination calculations, choose BRDF to use for materials.

Vray 3.3 has a 20-50% increase in rendering speed, a more realistic sampling method, more user-friendly rendering settings, lighting settings, etc.
