V-Ray For 3ds Max

V-Ray For 3ds Max Overview

Highlights of the new features in V-Ray for 3ds Max include Chaos Scatter, a new Chaos tool for distributing objects across a surface, first introduced in Corona 8.
The tool provides an alternative to traditionally more feature-rich third-party plugins, such as iToo Software’s Forest Pack. Another interesting new feature is the VRayEnmesh modifier, which covers the surface of an object with repeating geometry, similar to a texture.
Unlike instancing, repeat geometry does not use additional memory – only the original mesh is loaded, allowing for “billions of polygons in the scene, without any impact on memory consumption.”
V-RayMtl has received minor updates, including an integrated Thin Film layer for creating rainbow-colored materials such as soap bubbles and oil slicks. There is also a new implementation of the SSS mode, which should speed up the rendering of translucent materials.
V-Ray Decal, the texture projection system introduced in V-Ray 5 for 3ds Max Update 2, now supports displacement maps.
VRaySky has support for procedural clouds, which also cast shadows on the surrounding fog.

System Requirements

• 3ds Max® 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 (64-bit);
• Microsoft® Windows 10 or Windows 11 operating system;
• Intel 64, AMD64 or compatible processor with AVX2 support;
• Minimum 8 GB RAM, recommended 64 GB RAM
• NVIDIA CUDA with minimum required compute capability 5.2*: Maxwell-, Pascal-, Volta- and Turing-based NVIDIA card(s) with latest video driver or at least version 442.54;
  NVIDIA RTX with compute capability 5.21: RTX cards with latest recommended video driver or version 442.54;
  V-Ray Production Denoiser: AMD or NVIDIA GPU supporting OpenCL 1.2;
  NVIDIA AI Denoiser: Maxwell, Pascal, Volta or Turing-based NVIDIA card with driver version 441.28
  
  Windows 11 is required for running Intel Alder Lake processors.
  With V-Ray 6, using older drivers (less than 495.xx) on Ampere cards may lead to incorrect render results with RTX.
