Chaos Group - V-Ray 5 for Unreal

Description

V-Ray for Unreal is a plug-in for Unreal Engine that allows architects and designers to import V-Ray scenes from 3ds Max, Maya, and SketchUp directly into Unreal Engine to create immersive real-time experiences. It can automatically convert V-Ray lights and materials into reliable real-time equivalents that can also be edited through a familiar workflow. At the same time, connection to the original materials from V-Ray for 3ds Max, Maya and SketchUp is never lost, so they can be called up when users are ready to render photorealistic images.

What's new in V-Ray 5 for Unreal?

V-Ray 5 for Unreal brings users more precision, faster workflows and better compatibility with V-Ray 5 applications. Now, artists and designers have more control over the light bake parameters to adjust scene lighting to their preference. They can go beyond rendering by post-processing renders inside the new V-Ray Frame Buffer, and they can benefit from fast interactive rendering on any CPU configuration. And more.

Custom light baking controls. Users have more control over the V-Ray Bake than ever before. They can adjust parameters for global illumination, sampling, and noise levels to generate lightmaps optimized for their project. Alternatively, they can still employ convenient quality presets for a quick and easy workflow.

Coat layer. Users can employ the Coat layer in the V-Ray Material to easily build materials such as lacquered wood or coated metal.

Selective export to V-Ray scene. Users can save time and resources when creating reference scenes by exporting only the specific objects they need to transfer to other V-Ray applications.

Blue Noise sampling. With Blue Noise sampling, users get less noise in their image with the same amount of samples. Smoother results can be achieved when depth of field and motion blur effects are used.

Post-processing built-in. The new Frame Buffer gives users the ability to polish renders and get the perfect look straight from the renderer. With the Layer compositor, render elements can be combined, color corrections made, and finishing touches added without a third-party image editor.

Respect pivot points. Users can lay out scenes easily by employing the original DCC-authored custom pivot point for objects imported in Unreal.

Fast denoising on CPU. With the new Intel® Open Image Denoise engine, users can reduce noise during interactive rendering on any CPU configuration—perfect for setups that do not have an NVIDIA GPU.

Initial Out-of-core support. V-Ray 5 adds initial support for rendering large scenes that exceed the GPU memory.

When purchasing your first V-Ray license, you will receive 20 free Chaos Cloud Credits*. Chaos Cloud is a rendering service with unlimited render power in the cloud. Send your jobs to the cloud, so you can keep working. You've got more important things to do than wait for renders to complete. Your 20 free Chaos Cloud Credits are valid for 90 days. 

* Does not apply to edu licenses (licenses for students, teachers and classrooms). Does not apply to V-Ray for Nuke as the version does not support rendering on Chaos Cloud.

V-Ray Render Nodes

V-Ray Render Nodes speed up your V-Ray rendering workflow. Render Nodes take advantage of the combined computing power of multiple machines in a network. Continue your design work and let Render Nodes handle the rendering tasks on other machines. With support for popular render managers like Thinkbox Deadline, PipelineFX Qube and Autodesk Backburner the V-Ray Render Nodes are easily managed.
