V-Ray Next for SketchUp
Introducing the next generation of rendering.
With significant workflow optimizations & faster rendering, V-Ray Next is smarter, faster and more powerful than ever.
V-Ray is an easy-to-use rendering plugin for SketchUp that allows professional quality rendering of high-resolution images with realistic lights, materials and cameras directly within SketchUp. It helps architects, designers and creators to bring their sketches and models to life at every stage of the design lifecycle. Unlike real-time solutions (such as Enscape and Lumion), V-Ray is unlimited in the final quality and realism that it can deliver. In addition, users can maintain their V-Ray decisions and workflows with vrscenes - which transfers the model plus all the V-Ray materials and lights.
Tight integration — A familiar environment closely integrated with SketchUp to ensure users never have to leave the
program to set scenes, apply materials or tweak lighting conditions on the fly.
Accuracy — Analyzes designs according to their actual lighting and the true reflections and refractions of their materials.
Easy to use — An intuitive interface with simplified render presets backed up by comprehensive documentation, lots of
video tutorials and a vibrant support community.
Quality — V-Ray lets you create the highest quality renders possible – directly in SketchUp.
Interoperability — Leverage V-Ray work from other 3D tools such as 3ds Max, SketchUp or Revit for render-ready
assets and reusable materials.
Power — V-Ray for SketchUp supports CPU, GPU or hybrid rendering, so you can make use of the full power of your
hardware. You can also even distribute renders across multiple networked machines with V-Ray Swarm.
Fast & smart production rendering — V-Ray Next is now twice as fast when using V-Ray GPU. V-Ray for SketchUp
lets you spend more time being creative and less time waiting.
V-Ray Next for SketchUp is immediately compatible with the new SketchUp 2020, as well as versions 2016-2019.
