V-Ray 7 redefines the traditional visualization workflow, enabling artists to speed up their creation process and deliver immersive experiences for their clients. With its innovative toolset, users can meet tight deadlines without sacrificing quality and accomplish more, faster. 

Environment creation is now quicker than ever, thanks to support for rendering with revolutionary Gaussian splats. Users can create captivating, interactive virtual tours directly within V-Ray’s interface—no need for third-party apps. Custom region rendering in the VFB makes it easier to polish specific areas, while advanced control over scattered objects allows users to effortlessly achieve the desired look. 

V-Ray 7 also offers faster, more efficient rendering and introduces caustics support in V-Ray GPU, along with many other powerful features.

What's New in V-Ray 7 for 3ds Max

Accelerate rendering and unlock faster, more intuitive workflows. Explore a powerful new tool designed to help you optimize rendering performance. Streamline your workflow with new controls and UI enhancements.

V-Ray Profiler. Receive detailed reports on the time spent calculating shaders, exporting scenes, compiling geometry, and loading bitmaps. Identify hotspots in your scene to optimize workflows for faster rendering. Combine this with the Memory Tracker for even deeper insights.

V-Ray Lister Geometry tab. V-Ray Lister is now more powerful with a new tab for managing V-Ray geometry objects (Proxy, Fur, Decal, Clipper, and more). Advanced filtering options make it easy to navigate and control multiple geometry settings directly from the Lister’s UI.

Powered-up GPU rendering. V-Ray 7 brings in faster, even more efficient rendering and introduces a brand new Caustics solver in V-Ray GPU.

Faster time to first pixel. Enjoy improved interactive rendering with faster time to first pixel, thanks to optimizations for rendering scatter and textureheavy scenes. Scene data upload to GPU and geometry compilation have also been accelerated. 

Out-of-core textures. Render texture-heavy scenes even more efficiently with the new out-of-core textures. Add incredible detail without sacrificing shading quality, as textures are now limited only by RAM.

Support for caustics. V-Ray GPU now supports Caustics, allowing realistic reflections and refractions in production and interactive rendering. The new Photon Mapping-based Caustics solver is optimized for GPU hardware, delivering significantly faster results than CPU rendering.
