The update also introduces a new Sun and Sky model, which generates more physically accurate results than its predecessor, particularly when the sun is close to the horizon. Key changes include built-in layer-based compositing in the V-Ray Frame Buffer (VFB), and Light Mix, a Corona-Renderer-style system to adjust the intensity of lights in images without the need to re-render them. SketchUp is the latest host application to be updated to the new V-Ray 5 architecture, following the releases of V-Ray 5 for 3ds Max and V-Ray 5 for Maya earlier this year. V-Ray 5 core features: compositing in the VFB, Light Mix and new materials options Unique features include V-Ray Vision, a new real-time rasterisation-based render mode for exploring SketchUp scenes, and Light Gen, an automated system for rendering lighting variations of a scene. The update makes the key features from other editions of V-Ray 5 available in SketchUp, including compositing in the V-Ray frame buffer, the Light Mix system, and new materials options. Scroll down for news of Update 2.Ĭhaos Group has released V-Ray 5 for SketchUp, the latest version of the production renderer for Trimble’s architectural sketching software. All files required by the OSL compiler are now included in the V-Ray’s installation folder.Originally posted on 9 November 2020.

Proxy Meshes, Proxy Scenes as well as Cosmos asset previews are now generated significantly faster

A number of issues preventing V-Ray for SketchUp from installing properly are resolved.Such can be loaded from a manually created vrmat containing TexOSL or MtlOSL plugins Added support for OSL material and textures.Materials saved to a custom Library location before a valid preview image is generated now correctly use the default asset icon.Materials connected to an Attribute extension in another material are now correctly listed as sub-assets in the Outliner.The custom Sunlight orientation is no longer modified when a HDR scenario is selected.An option that allows for scene lights to remain active on scenario application is implemented.
