Chaos has announced the release of V-Ray 6, Update 1 for Cinema 4D and Maya, a new and improved version of its production renderer. Bringing lots of new features designed for faster scenes and ultimate creative control, the release gives both C4D and Maya packages new tools that will help creators to add millions of objects, disrupt physical lighting constraints, and produce photorealistic scenes faster than ever. Additionally, the update comes with some neat novelties exclusive to each version.
As for exclusives, V-Ray 6, Update 1 for Maya brings support for the latest versions of MayaUSD, Beauty and masking render elements, and V-Ray Object Properties. On top of that, Emissive materials can now be included in Light Selects or fine-tuned in Light Mix right in the V-Ray Frame Buffer. Moreover, Update 1 also includes support for both Maya 2024 and Apple Silicon processors.
V-Ray 6, Update 1 for Cinema 4D, on the other hand, offers a host of stylistic options, ranging from cel-shading to 2D cartoon effects and more. Support for native MoGraph Color Shaders has also been included, introducing the ability to randomly assign colors to objects or particles, and use effectors to colorize based on different criteria.
Additionally, the release brings cylindrical and bump upgrades to V-Ray Decal, allowing designers to easily add anything to curved surfaces. Additive bumps have also been added, so artists can blend surface and decal bumps to make highly realistic embossed logos, lettering, cracked paint, and more.
