- Material overrides and presets
- Cosmos asset variations
- And more!
3D Gaussian Splatting
V-Ray 7 is the first ray tracer on the market to leverage Gaussian splat technology, allowing users to easily include and manipulate images of complex 3D environments and objects.
Interactive virtual tours
Clearly communicate your design concept and effectively showcase your spaces. Let your clients explore your designs through virtual tours using highlights to draw their attention to key focal points. Virtual tours hosted on Chaos Cloud are easily accessible directly from V-Ray Frame Buffer.
Material overrides and presets
Take advantage of new override material features combined with stylized render presets for quick iterations on schematic or diagrammatic render styles.
Diffused edge correction
Easily distribute objects. Cut edges and gain better control over messy areas.
Cosmos asset variations
With predefined variations for specific Cosmos assets, it’s easy to find the perfect props for your project. Plus, you can now change object materials without disconnecting the asset from Cosmos.
Automatic denoising
Enabled by default, automatic denoising streamlines workflows and seamlessly transitions between interactive and production engines with configurable settings.
Color correction filters
Try different looks for your renders using the new built-in color correction filters in VFB. You can also easily customize these presets to perfectly match your creative vision.
Freeform render region
Rerender specific areas of an image with a custom polygon shape. Create multiple regions of any shape and focus precisely on areas you want to fine-tune.
Vignette Layer
Add a subtle retro effect to your renders or draw attention to elements with the versatile Vignette Layer in VFB. Adjust its shape and apply it to any render element for fine-tuned, custom results.
Light Blend for emissive materials
All emissive materials now support Light Blend, allowing you to adjust intensity and color independently for better lighting control and customizable renders.
Stop rendering at any time
Stop rendering at any time while applying post effects to your image. This option is easily accessible from the context menu.
Layered textures
Create highly detailed textures with the powerful new Photoshop-style layering system. Stack and customize each texture layer with full control over opacity, blending modes, and more.
Gradient texture remapping
Enjoy advanced UV mapping capabilities, with greater control over precise texture manipulation and color distribution. Perfect for detailed applications like pattern coloring, brick randomization, and custom wallpaper design.
Lights
Discover the latest optimized lighting fixture assets in Chaos Cosmos, designed using V-Ray Luminaires technology. These assets are now much easier to sample and render at higher speeds.
Hundreds of brand new assets
Use over 400 brand new assets in Chaos Cosmos, including vegetation, people, fabrics, and furniture. The library is constantly expanding, and more brands are offering sofas, chairs, and other products for purchase.
Even better V-Ray Sun & Sky
Create vibrant, richly saturated blue skies and realistic sunsets with the updated PRG Sky. You can even render the sky at various observer heights, up to several kilometers away.
