V-Ray 7 - HOTFLIX 2 - (SketchUp 2021-2025)

V-Ray 7 is the latest version of Chaos' renowned rendering engine, bringing significant advancements for 3D visualization professionals. Available for platforms like 3ds Max and SketchUp, V-Ray 7 offers enhanced features to optimize workflows and elevate the visual quality of projects.

Key New Features in V-Ray 7:

• Gaussian Splat Rendering: V-Ray 7 is the first rendering engine to incorporate Gaussian splats technology, allowing for the easy inclusion and rendering of captures of complex 3D environments and objects.

• Enhanced Interactive Rendering: The version offers faster first-pixel times, thanks to optimizations in rendering scenes with complex textures and scene data sent to the GPU.

• Caustics Support in V-Ray GPU: It is now possible to render realistic reflections and refractions in both interactive and production rendering, using a new Photon Mapping-based caustics solver optimized for GPU hardware.

• Improved Scene Management Tools: V-Ray Profiler provides detailed reports on time spent on shader calculations, volumes, and other processes, helping to identify and optimize workflow bottlenecks.

• New Assets in Chaos Cosmos: The Chaos Cosmos library has been expanded with hundreds of new assets, including vegetation, people, fabrics, and furniture, allowing for richer scenes with high-quality elements.
