Release Notes
Build 6.00.00

Date - Oct 04, 2022

Enscape Compatibility
Enscape compatibility. Scenes set up using Enscape will now render in V-Ray. Materials, lights and even the Enscape assets will be automatically handled by V-Ray providing a great starting point when transitioning from the Enscape design stage to the high-end visualization in V-Ray
A global Enscape Compatibility toggle is implemented. It disables the special handling for Enscape materials, assets and lights
* Note that Enscape assets provided by 3D PEOPLE are currently not supported

Rendering
Resumable Rendering implemented. Incomplete renders can now be resumed where they left off from the previous session. Ensure that an output image path is specified to take advantage of the feature
The interactive rendering workflow is updated. The Interactive UI toggle is removed and the production render settings remain visible at all times. Interactive rendering is enabled by using the Render Interactive button on the toolbar, the one in the asset editor or in the VFB
Interactive Parameters rollout added to the Advanced Settings/Render Parameters section. A few parameters specific to interactive rendering can be changed there. One example is the Interactivity slider, another the toggle for Interactive Light Cache
Interactive Light cache implemented. Toggle the 'Advanced Settings/Interactive Parameters/Allow Interactive LC' option and ensure that Light Cache is selected as a secondary GI engine to use it. When enabled the Automatic Exposure, Automatic White Balance and Adaptive Lights features will work in interactive sessions
All rendering-related icons on the toolbar and in the Asset Editor are updated
Unified Login
Chaos Unified Login implemented. This is a system that ensures a single Chaos login enables all Chaos products, services and product features that require authentication

Cloud Collaboration
Chaos Cloud Collaboration implemented. This is an image-sharing platform available for free for all V-Ray users. Use the shortcuts in the VFB for a quick image upload. Note that the platform is still in beta

Cosmos
Cosmos is updated to its latest version
Cosmos is the new central and only remote assets provider. The legacy remote contents downloader is deprecated and is no longer part of V-Ray
Material Library in Cosmos. The built-in V-Ray material library is no longer available in the Asset Editor. Use Cosmos to browse and import preset materials in your project. Note that the vrmat library panel will remain as part of the Asset Editor mainly for managing custom asset libraries
A shortcut that opens the V-Ray Material Library in Cosmos is now available in the left fly off pane of the Asset Editor. Select the default Materials entry to see it in the contents pane
The logic used for importing Cosmos materials is improved in numerous ways to accommodate the new library workflow
Light Gen environments from Cosmos. Light Gen no longer uses a proprietary system for downloading its HDR environments and instead gets the images from Cosmos. Note that saving and loading .lightset files is temporarily disabled
Cosmos assets are now automatically selected after import
The Cosmos browser is automatically reopened after an asset is placed in the project and the SketchUp tool is changed

Procedural Clouds
Procedural clouds can now be enabled in the V-Ray Sky. Select the Sun Light in the project to change the clouds parameters
Dynamic Clouds implemented. Enable the option in the sunlight parameters and the clouds will automatically move when the time of day changes. Use the Wind Speed, Direction as well as the Phase Velocity parameters to control the movement

Enmesh
V-Ray Enmesh Implemented. Apply the Enmesh modifier to an object and then pick an item to cover the object’s surface forming a 3D pattern. Note that the base object's UV texture coordinates determine the items positioning

Asset Tagging
A new Tags system used for grouping the scene assets in the Asset Editor is implemented. Use the tags to organize and work more efficiently in complex projects
Tag entry added to the assets context menu in the Outliner. Use it to create new tags, change the asset’s tag assignment or add multiple assets to a tag all at once
Tag assignment via a drag and drop of an asset is implemented. Note that only a single asset can be added to a tag this way

Camera Clipping
Camera Clipping options added to the Advanced Camera Parameters rollout. Use the feature to clip nearby objects in tight spaces

Material and Texture Improvements
Distance Texture implemented. The texture outputs color values based on object proximity and can be utilized for restricting Fur generation or even be used as a displacement map
Dirt texture Exclude and Affected By options implemented. Exclude objects from the dirt effect or make sure they are ignored when calculating the proximity
GTR energy compensation is enabled for all V-Ray Materials. The option ensures more accurate reflection values for most blurry reflective materials using the Microfacet GTR (GGX) BRDF model
Thin Film parameters added to the V-Ray Material. Toggle the advanced parameters to see the Thin Film rollout
Car Paint 2 material implemented. It replaces the legacy Car Paint in the UI and comes with an improved flakes and coating layers
The rendered appearance as well as the UI of V-Ray Materials using the SSS Translucency are improved
The Bitmap texture’s parameter previously known as Color Space is now correctly renamed to Transfer Function. It determines the gamma correction curve applied to the bitmap
Automatic Transfer Function mode added to the Bitmap texture. It automatically determines the color transfer function. If a bitmap file name contains the suffix ‘_srgb’ the transfer function is sRGB. If a bitmap file name contains the suffixes‘_lin_srgb’ or ‘raw’, no correction is applied. For bitmap files with 8 bits per color component and 3 or 4 color components (like png, jpg and other), the transfer function is set to sRGB. In all other cases, no correction is applied
Mix Amount parameter is added to the Mix (Operator) texture. It specifies the degree to which the two input textures are blended
The slider precision for the Reflection Glossiness, Metalness and refraction Glossiness parameters of the VRay Mtl is increased
Local Space Bump mode is added to all materials that support bump mapping. Enable it to measure bump amount in local texture space instead of in world units. This mode was previously called Bump Texture Channel and should be selected when an Edges texture is applied for a Round Edges effect
Special handling for rotated normal maps is implemented. Normal maps rotated manually or by the UVW Placement randomization feature no longer render inverted
The upper limit of the Intensity parameter of Emissive materials is removed

Color Management
ACEScg color space management implemented. Select the ACEScg RGB Primaries in the color management settings to ensure that V-Ray is rendering in the new color space. Most standard RGB bitmap textures should use the sRGB Primaries option in this workflow
ACEScg color space support is added to the Color Picker

Finite Dome Light
Finite Dome parameters added to the Dome light source. It limits the size of the Dome shape and introduces a ground projection that can be adjusted using the Projection Height and Ground Blend parameters

Assets Preview Swatch
Live preview for Decals implemented
Sphere swatch preview scene added for material assets. The preview is similar to the one used in Cosmos
The automatic texture resize is disabled for the GPU asset preview. The material swatch no longer lacks details and appears blurry
The Environment textures’ preview no longer appears incorrect when the GPU mode is enabled
The V-Ray typography of the Generic material preview is updated to match the current company branding

VFB
Panorama viewer implemented. Use the Panorama View toggle in the View menu to enable the new mode. Looking around in this view is done by holding the middle mouse button and moving the mouse. The field of view can be altered by scrolling
Proportion Guides layer implemented to help you with the frame composition
Batch image processing implemented. Use it to apply corrections to a set of pre-rendered images
Flip buttons implemented. Use the quick flip feature to have a fresh eye on the image composition and verify it works in all settings
Dither colors option implemented in the VFB settings / Render View rollout. Make sure it is enabled to avoid banding with low-contrast gradients
The VFB configuration including the History state and folder location is preserved between installations
The Exposure (display only) slider part of the Display Correction’s layer parameters no longer affects images saved from the VFB

V-Ray GPU
Improved performance and reliability
Added support for the Lighting Analysis render element
Improved trace depth limit handling
Improved round edges rendering quality
The global trace depth logic used by the GPU engine now matches the one used in Production CPU rendering. Enabling the Render Parameters/Optimizations/Max Trace Depth checkbox ensures that the value specified overrides all corresponding max depth settings in the materials
The standalone GPU Device Selection tool is updated. The new user interface allows specific devices to be selected for Denoising (should be considered when NVIDIA AI denoising is used). This can help boost rendering performance on systems with more than one GPU
An issue preventing spotlights from being scatter by the Environment Fog is resolved

Integration (SketchUp)
Materials created in SketchUp are by default no longer treated as full-featured V-Ray materials. They are listed as Host Materials in the asset editor and can be promoted to V-Ray shaders at any point. This is done to help with scene organization and navigation as well as with the new Enscape compatibility
Optimized animation export. Exporting SketchUp animations for rendering is now more than 10 times faster. In order to achieve this we re-implemented the frame interpolation logic that SU uses when evaluating camera or sun animations, on the V-Ray side
The V-Ray scene importer is updated and can now import any V-Ray shader. ‘Unsupported’ shading nodes use an auto-generated UI allowing them to remain editable. Note that this feature is still in an experimental stage
Multiple geometry modifiers can now be applied to the same scene object. Fur and Scatter, for example, can now be combined
The VFB configuration is now kept between installations. The history folder location now persists between installations. The Reset action (V-Ray/Preferences/Reset Frame Buffer) can be performed manually when required
An issue causing the VFB window to sink below SketchUp in specific situations is resolved
Changing the selection of GPU devices used for rendering or denoising via the GPU Device Selection tool no longer causes various issues and crashes

The minimum SketchUp version requirement is bumped to SketchUp 2019. SketchUp 2017 and SketchUp 2018 are no longer supported

Vision
A new system for evaluating V-Ray textures is implemented. Most of V-Ray’s procedural textures and texture corrections are now supported in Vision. This is achieved through ‘baking’ which leaves raytraced or camera-based procedural maps still unsupported (Dirt, Falloff, Distance, Edges, etc.)
Measurement tool implemented. Use the toolbar button or the Z key to enable the tool, then select the two points to measure the distance between them
Depth of field support added. Change the DOF settings in V-Ray to see an effect in Vision. Note that the defocus amount is limited in Vision
The Orbit navigation mode hotkeys now match the ones in the host application
A new handling for materials opacity is implemented. Visual artifacts no longer appear when multiple transparent objects overlap in the frame
The V-Ray Infinite Plane is now supported in Vision. Note that in Vision the plane still has a finite size but will automatically resize based on the scene bounding box
The overall stability and reliability of Vision is improved
The parameters in the Settings panel are now organized in rollouts
Hours can now be displayed in the timeline end label
An issue preventing Vision from working on macOS is resolved
The default range of the Ambient Light Intensity slider is increased to 200
