New V-Ray color picker: A new color picker which is simple and powerful. Our new all-in-one asset manager gives you an overview of everything in the scene, and allows you to set file paths and create scene archives. If you’re lucky enough to own a 4K monitor, you’ll find better support for high resolutions.Īsset manager: It’s easy to lose track of your textures, IES files, and proxy files. Smarter UI: We’ve made V-Ray for SketchUp’s interface cleaner and more simple. Plus, you can blend between your V-Ray render and SketchUp model with the + and - keys. Choose which parts of the image you want to render, so you can check that lamp on the table looks just right. Viewport rendering: View your V-Ray renders without ever leaving the SketchUp viewport. In addition, V-Ray GPU running on NVIDIA CUDA can take full advantage of all available hardware, including CPUs and GPUs. Powerful GPU & new hybrid rendering: V-Ray 3.6 for SketchUp includes faster, more powerful GPU rendering capabilities, with added support for aerial perspective, displacement, subsurface scattering, matte/shadows, and more. Here’s a rundown of what’s new in V-Ray 3.6 for Sketchup. For the first time, we’re releasing this version at the same time as Trimble releases SketchUp 2018, so you can start using the newest features of both immediately. With V-Ray 3.6 for SketchUp, we’re bringing cutting-edge features from V-Ray for Max and Maya to SketchUp. We know that architects and designers love SketchUp’s ease of use and quick modelling features, so we built a version of V-Ray which seamlessly slots into its simple work environment. To view online demonstration of V-Ray 3.6 for SketchUp, watch the following video tutorial from Chaos Group.V-Ray 3.6 for SketchUp, with full support for SketchUp 2018, is here. V-RAY SCENE IMPORT: Import and render V-Ray scenes (.vrscene) from other applications like 3ds Max, Rhino, and Revit V-RAY COLOR PICKER: With the addition of new color picker, it makes it possible to choose color values in Screen sRGB (0–255) or Rendering (0.0–1.0) color space. Arrange file paths, form scene archives, and monitor assets like textures, IES files, and proxy objects. SMART UI: The complete V-Ray for SketchUp interface now becomes cleaner and easier, with superior support for 4K monitors.įILE MANAGER: Organize all of your scene files under one position. HYBRID GPU+CPU RENDERING: With V-Ray GPU running on NVIDIA CUDA, the users can reap the complete benefit of all existing hardware along with CPUs and GPUs.ĪDAPTIVE LIGHTS: For scenes which contain adequate lights, the new Adaptive Lights mode can allow minimizing render times by up to 700%. STRONG GPU RENDERING: Rapid, more strong GPU rendering with additional support for aerial perspective, displacement, subsurface scattering, matte/shadows, and more. VIEWPORT RENDERING: New viewport rendering facilitates the users to simply choose and render several regions simultaneously, and instantly intermingle among V-Ray render and SketchUp model with +/- hotkeys to manage opacity. Given below, some exclusive features of this latest version :. V-Ray 3.6 for SketchUp now supports sketchup 2018. V-Ray 3.6 for SketchUp comprises of some advanced features like fast-paced GPU rendering, smart hybrid rendering, a efficient UI, viewport rendering, VRscans support, and lots other. In this sketchup v-ray video tutorial, demonstration is given on new V-Ray 3.6 for SketchUp.
