Automatic scene analysis and adaptive lighting join dozens of new features, bringing more performance to the design process. Now, with a few clicks, you can in fact create high-quality ray-traced visuals using one of the world’s most widely used design programs. With significant workflow optimizations & faster rendering, V-Ray Next is smarter, faster, and more powerful than ever. Introducing the Next Generation of Rendering

CUDA hybrid rendering in bucket mode no longer leads to the exception in V-Ray Core when NVLink is used.

Coat layers (Diffuse or Reflection) added to a material that has no other base layer no longer display the full set of VRay Mtl parameters.

Adding a Bitmap diffuse texture material (or loading one with such texture assigned) no longer activates the SketchUp’s ‘Colorize’ material option.

The emission cone no longer cut in half in some situations

Resolved an issue with the Sunlight caustic photon emission.

This resolves various issues with 3rd party plugins utilizing V-Ray Proxies
