V-Ray 5 for 3ds Max Workstation. The world’s most complete 3D rendering software for high-end visualisation and production.

V-Ray for 3ds Max is a production-proven rendering software. Known for its versatility and ability to handle any type of project — from massive, dynamic scenes having thousands of lights to a sublime still life — it is the go-to solution for artists and designers across 3D industries.

V-Ray 5 for 3ds Max, what’s new?

V-Ray 5 lets you do more with your renderer than ever before. Composite renders and interactively relight your scenes in the new V-Ray Frame Buffer. Set up materials fast with new presets and over 500 ready-made shaders. V-Ray 5 helps you save time and make your renders look even better ⁠— both on the CPU or GPU.

V-Ray 5 for 3ds Max helps you go beyond rendering

Post-process your projects in V-Ray

Light Mixing: Explore lighting possibilities interactively in real-time. Use LightMix in the new V-Ray Frame Buffer to freely experiment with lighting changes after you render, save out permutations, and push back improvements you’d like to have in your scene.

Layered Compositing: The new Layer compositor lets you fine-tune and finish your images directly in the new V-Ray Frame Buffer — without the need for a separate post-processing app.

V-Ray 5 for 3ds Max: Explore Creativity Without Limits

Optimise your workflow

Material Manager: Efficiently browse from a library of over 500 render-ready materials including metals, glass, wood and more.

Material Presets: Save time creating common materials with presets for aluminium, chrome, glass and more. Presets for most used hair colours have also been added.

Material Previews: New rendered material swatches show you exactly what your materials will look like.

Coat Layer: Add reflective coatings directly in the updated V-Ray Material, saving you both material creation and rendering time vs. using Blend material.

Sheen Layer: Create soft microfibre fabrics like velvet, satin and silk with the new Sheen options in the updated V-Ray Material.

Texture Randomisation: Add variety to your scene with the new VRayUVWRandomizer map and enhanced VRayMultiSubTex controls.

Stochastic Texture Tiling: Automatically remove texture tiling artefacts with the new Stochastic tiling option on the VRayUVWRandomizer.

Extended V-Ray Dirt: Weathered streaks and dirt in crevices are now easy with the enhanced V-Ray Dirt, which now employs both ambient and inner occlusion.

New Sun and Sky Model: Reproduce the subtleties of twilight when the sun is below the horizon with the new Sun and Sky model.
