Now you can not only render essential* Cycles materials, but also effortlessly translate them to V-Ray. Keep using the libraries you’ve spent so much time building in your V-Ray projects, without interrupting your work or wasting time rebuilding materials from scratch.
Maintain the procedural modeling workflows you love with support for rendering Blender’s Geometry Nodes setups. Use complex parametric and procedural geometry, like environment scattering and parametric surfaces, directly in V-Ray without baking or conversion, keeping projects lightweight and flexible throughout production.
You can now render with V-Ray using Blender’s latest long-term support version, Blender 4.5.
With support for our Chaos Scans real-world scanned material library, you now get access to over 3,100 new ultra-realistic materials, including metal, leather, paper, plastic, rubber, and more. Available through the Cosmos browser, these materials are easy to find, preview, and use in your scenes. Explore the materials in Cosmos and use them to create your most realistic work yet.
Achieve consistent shading results across applications with the OpenPBR standard. The new OpenPBR mode in the V-Ray Material introduces this shading model to your workflow, boosting production efficiency by reducing the need for manual adjustments when moving between compatible renderers and applications.
The user interface of the V-Ray Material rollout has been redesigned for a more intuitive and streamlined material creation experience.
