V-Ray for SketchUp Features

SketchUp is one of the most widely used and easy to learn 3D Modeling software on the market today. With V-Ray for SketchUp users now have one of the most powerful rendering tools available to visualize their models with the upmost quality and realism. V-Ray works within the SketchUp environment allowing users to be able to efficiently incorporate the task of rendering within their current workflows.

• True raytraced reflections and refractions
• Glossy reflections and refractions
• Indirect Illumination (global illumination, global lighting). Different approaches include direct computation (brute force), and irradiance maps.
• Area shadows (soft shadows). Includes box and sphere emitters
• True HDRI support. Includes support of proper texture coordinate handling for both cubic and angular maps. Map your images directly without distortions or cropping.
• Fully multithreaded raytracing engine
• Native SketchUp materials supported and integrated into V-Ray Materials
• Antialiasing. Includes fixed, simple 2-level and adaptive approaches.
• Reusable irradiance maps (save and load support). Incremental sampling for fly- through animations.
• Displacement
• V-Ray Material Editor with Material Preview
• V-Ray Sun and Sky
• V-Ray Physical Camera
• Depth-Of-Field camera effect.
• Distributed Rendering allowing a single image to be process over up to 10 machines
• Per Material GI, Background, Reflection, and Refraction
• V-Ray Two-Sided Material for easy creation of thin translucency
• Caustics
• Animation Support
