“V-Ray for Unreal has enhanced KPF’s visualization process from offline rendering to VR and AR, helping us achieve better, faster results with less applications,” said Cobus Bothma, director of Applied Research at Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, an architectural practice focused on building design. Physically based lighting provides designers with the most realistic view of how their assets will look in a real-world situation, according to the company. When desired, users can activate V-Ray to produce photorealistic “beauty shots” and reference checks from within Unreal.

Update 1 also adds viewport rendering, so users can render interactively, with the effects of light and material changes instantly displayed in the Unreal viewport. Datasmith is a collection of tools and plugins that help artists and designers import data into Unreal Engine it supports CAD and digital content creation sources including Autodesk 3ds Max.

This advance enables designers to access to V-Ray capabilities such as photorealistic light baking and interactive rendering, without changing their workflows. V-Ray for Unreal Update 1 adds support for native Unreal materials, so anyone with an established Unreal pipeline can render animations, still images, and more in their entirety, with 100% ray-traced accuracy, according to Chaos Group. Users can also render ray-traced, photorealistic images with V-Ray directly from Unreal.

Chaos Group Updates Solution for Real-Time Rendering and Ray Tracing within Unreal 29 Jun, 2019 By: Cadalyst Staff V-Ray for Unreal now features support for native Unreal materials, allows users to render interactively while designing.Ĭhaos Group released an update in May of V-Ray for Unreal, its software solution that brings V-Ray scenes from Autodesk 3ds Max and Maya, Trimble SketchUp, and McNeel Rhino directly into Unreal Engine, a suite of 3D content creation tools from Epic Games that supports photorealistic rendering in real time.
