Upgrade V-Ray 3 to Next for Rhino

Upgrade V-Ray 3 to Next for Rhino to take advantage of all of the new features added to V-Ray Next. V-Ray Next's user interface has been rebuilt and remodeled from the ground up. The new user interface features quick render presets and intuitive controls that allow you to focus more on your creative ideas and less on the technical details of designing. Its twin-engine rendering architecture utilizes the latest CPU or GPU hardware. V-Ray’s full suite of tools creates a versatile experience that lets you render anything and everything - from quick conceptual designs to your most detailed 3D renders.

V-Ray for Rhino is a highly accurate renderer for McNeel Rhinoceros, enabling designers to predict and present their designs
with the highest level of realism and reduce the need of physical prototypes. V-Ray greatly increases Rhino’s ability to handle
large scenes and can be used directly within Grasshopper.

V-Ray Next for Rhino is much more than a do-it-all renderer that creates gorgeous images of your designs. It’s also a full suite
of tools to help you accomplish more in Rhino than ever before. V-Ray Next makes it easier to manage everything in your scene
— even the crazy complex ones.

V-Ray Next is smart, too. It learns from your scene to make lighting faster. And it can set your camera exposure and white
balance automatically. It’s fast. V-Ray Next for Rhino is 50% faster overall. GPU rendering is 2x faster. And it’s up to 7x faster with
the new Adaptive Dome Light. It also supports the NVIDIA RTX technology for even better GPU performance. V-Ray Next for
Rhino extends what is possible in Grasshopper even further - now you can animate Grasshopper definitions as well as cameras
and sunlight, and measure real-world illumination values — all right in Grasshopper.

V-Ray Next for Rhino is compatible with Rhino 5 and Rhino 6. V-Ray for Rhino is supported on Windows only.

What's New in V-Ray Next, Update 2

V-Ray GPU boost Extra ray-tracing hardware acceleration. V-Ray for Rhino now supports NVIDIA RTX cards, tapping into the extra ray-tracing hardware acceleration that comes with RTX-class GPUs.
Workflow optimizations Click less and apply materials faster. PROXY MESH MATERIALS Import or create a proxy mesh asset and V-Ray will automatically generate a set of material slots, making it easier to manage materials. PARTIAL SCENE EXPORT Export only selected objects as a .vrscene file containing geometry and the applied materials. IMPROVED MATERIALS The underlying shading structure of all scene materials is optimized. Material attributes can now be added or removed based on the user’s needs. COLOR ASSISTANT Choose the exact color you need with the right hue, saturation and value variation with the Color Assistant, V-Ray Color Picker's new extension. EXTENDED SCRIPT ACCESS The updated V-Ray scripting API provides more options to start a render. You can save and load settings from a .vropt file for even more control over your scene setup.
Smart functionality Maximum creative control, minimum effort. DECALS SUPPORT With support for Decals, you can add images to paintings, signs, screens and more. Decals work with both native and V-Ray materials. COLOR THEME A new “Bright” color theme is now available so you can change the appearance of your V-Ray user interface. UNIFIED INSTALLER Enjoy smooth, single-step installation of all the components included in the V-Ray package.
Grasshopper enhancements Powerful capabilities that maximize value. V-RAY FOR GRASSHOPPER ENHANCEMENTS A number of improvements including bitmap textures, vertex colors, virtual reality camera types and many more.

System Requirements:

Windows

Please make sure that your system fulfills these requirements before installing V-Ray. Note that V-Ray is only supported for 64-bit operating systems and 64-bit versions of Rhino. For additional information on hardware, see the Hardware Recommendations article.
