Production-proven ray traced rendering with a full suite of tools to create professional photoreal imagery and animations.

Built to handle the absolute toughest projects and largest scenes.

Multicore CPU and GPU-accelerated rendering engines for optimized speed and scalability.

Real-time look development with interactive lighting, shading and rendering.

Integrated seamlessly into Maya and designed to fit any production pipeline.

Top artists and studios rely on V-Ray for Maya to create award-winning animation & visual effects.

V-Ray GPU CUDA now renders on CPUs as well as GPUs, to take full advantage of all available hardware.

Render individual lights or groups of lights as separate render elements, with full support for global illumination, reflections and refractions for accurate light mixing in post.

Automatically generate ID mattes with support for transparency, depth of field and motion blur. This will speed up workflows for compositors working in NUKE or Fusion.

Supports shared GPU memory across NVLink compatible graphics cards.

NVIDIA’s universal material format is now supported in V-Ray for Maya, allowing designers to apply MDL materials authored in programs like Substance Designer to their assets and scenes.

V-Ray lights can now illuminate objects in Viewport 2.0, making light setup much easier. Direct support for environmental reflections and V-Ray materials have also been added.

Render superior images and animations fast with V-Ray’s highly-optimized and adaptive ray tracing technology.

Get an additional speed boost with GPU-accelerated look development and final frame rendering.

Render natural, artificial and image-based lighting with a wide range of light types, shapes and controls.

Choose from ray traced and hybrid global illumination methods for the perfect balance of quality and speed.

Simulate any camera and lens with controls for exposure, depth of field and motion blur.

Create physically-based materials with multiple layers – now with GTR/GGX shading for great looking reflections.

For specialized materials, choose from a collection of purpose-built shaders for subsurface scattering, skin, hair and more.

Work with multi-resolution tiled textures from top applications MARI, Mudbox and Zbrush.

Render realistic hair with support for Maya hair and fur, XGen, Ornatrix, Shave and a Haircut, and Yeti.

Render optimized volumetric effects and import OpenVDB files from Realflow and Houdini.

Output a complete set of beauty, utility, and matte passes for total control in compositing.

Track render history, fine tune colors, and match final output with advanced color management.

Fit massive scenes into memory and cut render times using load-on-demand proxy objects.

Create complex cutaways and sections using any mesh object.

Quickly apply seamless textures without UVs.

Generate perfectly smooth edges at render-time with no extra modeling.

Render VR-ready content for popular headsets like Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Samsung Gear VR.

Automatically remove noise and cut render times by up to 50%.

Simulate natural looking skies with realistic atmospheric haze.
