New Features

General

A V-Ray for SketchUp toolbar provides quick access to common V-Ray features

New V-Ray for SketchUp User Interface

V-Ray Swarm (previously Distributed Rendering – OSX as a render node not supported)

New progressive image sampler

Extensive optimizations for render speed, especially when using brute force GI

Implemented the V-Ray Denoiser

The Intel Embree library is now integrated into the V-Ray core for static and motion-blurred geometry

New streamlined installer

Faster rendering of dynamic meshes, instances and VRayProxy objects

Dynamic Bucket splitting

Implemented probabilistic lighting and controls

Implemented .vrscene export

Implemented “Get View Aspect” function in UI so users can import the exact screen aspect ratio by using the “Get View Aspect” function inside the Quality Quick Settings.

Variance Base Adaptive Sampler (VBAS) for better noise control in dark areas and faster sampling in over-bright areas

Implemented “Show Safe Frames” in UI so users can now frame a view in SketchUp to see the exact proportions in the scene rendering using the “Show Safe frames” function inside the Quality Quick Settings.

GGX BRDF Support adds the Generalized Trowbridge-Reitz BRDF. With finer highlight controls, it’s ideal for metals and reflective surfaces.

Implemented V-Ray “1-Click” 6:1 Stereoscopic Cube render. A hardcoded way of rendering a dual camera stereoscopic 6:1 image for use with preferred VR headsets with a single click.

Implemented readymade V-Ray material library. Choose from a variety of (temporary until new library is created) readymade materials.

V-Ray Stereoscopic | VRayStereoscopic

Simple 1-Click rendering for Stereoscopic 6:1 images

V-Ray Proxy | VRayProxy

Support for Alembic 1.5

Ability to specify starting path in Alembic files

Environmental Effects

Aerial perspective

Support for SketchUp Fog using Aerial Perspective

V-Ray Sun & Sky | VRaySun / VRaySky

New sky model (Hosek et al)

Added ground color parameter

V-Ray Mesh Light | VRayMeshLight

Implemented Mesh Lights

Rectangle Light

Implemented Shape function in UI to allow change from rectangular to ellipse.

When creating a rectangle light, you can now control the direction by holding shift.

Faster sampling calculation for area lights

Spot Light

Implemented directional control. Adding a spot light to the scene you can now hold down the “Shift” key and control the direction, cone size and penumbra angle of the spot light right when its created.

Support for bitmap and texture projection

Sphere Light

Support for bitmap and texture projection

V-Ray Dome Light | VRayDomeLight

Implemented function where when you add a dome light to your scene you can actually control its direction by rotating the in scene object.

The Light Intensity Tool

Implemented a way to adjust any light in the scene by hovering over the light in SketchUp. Clicking and dragging up or down will change the intensity of your light will be adjusted in real time.

V-Ray Clipper | VRayClipper

Implemented V-Ray Clipper

Support for native SketchUp Sections

Support for nested (grouped) Sections

Ability to clip against arbitrary meshes

Support for nested arbitrary meshes

V-Ray Fur | VRayFur

Implemented V-Ray Fur

Implemented options for hair curling

Faster rendering (accelerated by Embree)

V-Ray Render Elements

Added support for ExtraTexChannel – Produces a render with a single texture applied to all objects in the scene. The texture applied to the scene can be a bitmap or a procedural texture such as V-Ray Dirt or V-Ray Curvature.

Added support for custom ZDepthChannel – Provides information about each object’s distance from the camera in the current view. Objects between the furthest and nearest points are rendered in varying shades of gray.

Added support for Denoiser – The V-Ray Denoiser takes an existing render and applies a denoising operation to it after the image is completely rendered out via normal means. The denoising operation detects areas where noise is present and smooths them out.
