V-Ray 5 for 3ds Max, update 2 — now available

V-Ray 5, update 2 is packed with features to help you focus on your designs and increase your productivity. Use the new V-Ray Decal to rapidly place materials anywhere on surfaces and other materials without additional UVW mapping work. V-Ray 5’s new VFB gets even more capable with a new Sharpen & Blur layer and Batch Image processing. Materials can now be easily assigned from Chaos Cosmos, with 200 new materials to start. New creative lighting possibilities unfold as light sources can now be used within the VRayInstancer. And much more...

The animation render link with Vantage just saved me a lot of time Thank you! Great update

[fahadal-asmari]

That was chill and relaxing animation scene I love it.

[NobleLegend]

Really Beautiful!!!...
But hey, where do i get those string light model?

[Maxation]

Atmospheric light contribution control. Thank you! I've been asking for this for years!

[KaoukabiJaouad]

instanced lights based on particles(plus the volumetric contribution) ... that is insane .. vray is so low profile yet it's the by far the stable and the most tested renderer(inproduction) out there

[zhangyutao]

Could you please tell me how to achieve the 40s delay photography effect? I have thought about this question for a year

😅

i found bug in this release - drag and drop of texture in material slot doesn't work, this function works well in vray 5 update 1. i hope chaos group will sort this very soon. 👍

Amazing set of improvements, the Decals feature opens up so many possibilities! Thank you!

[Astrusgaming]

Decal update... that's awesome. love for Chaos group.❤❤❤❤👌👏🎉🎉🎉

[BossToastMaker]

Gotta shortcut the decal function, one of the main functions I was missing in Max

[gadzooks]

Is this a free upgrade for people with vray 5?

[bgtubber]

Thanks so much for implementing GPU support for Thin-walled refraction and SSS in VrayMtl! 😍






GPU support for VrayMtl Roughness next? 😄

[DemokratischDenken]

The decale feature is really nice but I was hoping for an option to denoise animations in VFB AND opacity slider for denoiser tool. Also the ACES workflow is a bit cumbersome, the config.OCIO should come with Vray.

Oh and vignettes, chromatic aberration (with a bias slider, to reduce the effect in the center) and lens distortion as post effect in VFB would be nice as well :)

3ds max 2016 with vray 5.2 crash just when selecting or creating a VrayLight and modifying it.. also compact material editor while switching between slots is still laggy just in max 2016
