Texture Randomization – For more realistic textures and materials, artists can now add more variety and subtle imperfections with the new VRayUVWRandomizer map and improved VRayMultiSubTex controls.New controls have also been added to allow users to easily customize the sun position. New Sun and Sky – Improves accuracy when the sun is at the horizon, including the magic hours right before sunrise and after sunset.Line Renderings – Easily create line renderings of any project using simple material overrides.


New V-Ray 5 Material Library – The popular V-Ray material library has been expanded and upgraded with V-Ray 5’s new layering controls and texture randomization features."This really boosts both the quality and quantity of work we can produce. Now, when a client asks for a nighttime version of the shot, we change a few settings and presto, we've got it," said Dan Stone, head of operations of Archilime Visualisations. "As soon as we heard about Light Mix, we couldn't wait to get our hands on it. For extra control, render layers can be combined using the Layer Compositor to create more nuanced designs, or even saved as presets for later use. Image adjustments like exposure control, color balance and color corrections can also be added, replacing the need for external image editing tools. With Light Mix, users can interactively change the color and brightness of any light without rendering again, creating multiple lighting scenarios from a single render. The redesigned V-Ray Frame Buffer (VFB) now includes some of V-Ray 5’s most user-friendly features, making it easy to bring a personal touch to any rendering. Each preset also factors in real-world lighting conditions, so new lights blend perfectly as they are added by the user. Light Gen will automatically generate 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. With the new Light Gen tool, SketchUp users can rapidly explore a variety of lighting possibilities and select the best look for their scene.


Incredibly fast, V-Ray Vision can also quickly snapshot images or output animated sequences, allowing users to share their work with stakeholders. Whether designers want to move their model, apply materials or set up lights and cameras, V-Ray Vision will display it all in the moment, offering a real-time view of the scene that updates as you work. V-Ray Vision was designed to serve everything that comes before a final render, helping users work through new ideas and client feedback before they move on to total photorealism. Real-Time Visualization with V-Ray Vision 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. “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.
