In addition, the update adds the main features from the other editions of V-Ray 6. V-Ray Enmesh generates repeating surface geometry without instancing “The grass in Enscape can be replaced by V-Ray Fur, but this needs to be done by the V-Ray artist.” V-Ray equivalents have more options … and the V-Ray user will usually want to adjust these to their liking. “Nearly everything that can convert from Enscape to V-Ray does so without user intervention. Updated 5 October 2022: We asked Chaos if there is anything in an Enscape scene that isn’t converted on import to V-Ray. or just the key ones.Ĭhaos pitches the change as making it easier to develop the initial look of a scene inside Enscape, then transfer it to V-Ray to take it to the “highest possible level of photorealism” The update adds support for “Enscape materials, 3D models and lights” in V-Ray – there isn’t a list in the release notes, so we aren’t sure if all Enscape materials and light types are supported.

The biggest change in V-Ray 6 for SketchUp is interoperability with Enscape, the increasingly popular real-time architectural rendering software with whose developer Chaos merged earlier this year. The new version was released alongside that of V-Ray 6 for Rhino, which has similar new features.Ĭompatibility with Enscape reduces the need to rebuild scenes when moving between renderers

Other new features include geometry replication system Enmesh, procedural clouds in V-Ray Sky, the option to pause and resume renderering, and support for the V-Ray Distance texture and ACEScg colour space.

The update makes the SketchUp edition of the renderer compatible with real-time architectural visualisation tool Enscape, making it possible to render Enscape materials, models and lights in V-Ray. Originally posted on 25 August 2022, and updated with details of the final release.
