V-Ray 5 for Cinema 4D Update 2 is available for Cinema 4D R20+, running on 64-bit Windows 8.1+ and macOS 10.14+. Outside the core software, there is a new live link to Chaos Vantage, ChaosвЂ™s software for exploring large V-Ray scenes in real time and 200 V-Ray materials have been added to the Chaos Cosmos asset library.

Performance improvements include native support for AppleвЂ™s M1 processors and the V-Ray Light Cache now runs on the GPU, reducing start times for renders. The update also restores support for V-Ray render masks, and for importing scenes created in other editions of V-Ray in. New features include support for light instancing, support for V-RayвЂ™s UVW Randomizer node for randomising texture placement in materials, and a new Sharpen/Blur layer in the V-Ray Frame Buffer. Updated 9 December 2021: Chaos has released V-Ray 5 for Cinema 4D Update 2. You can find more details in our original story.

They include better handling of material translucency, the option to render multiple dome lights at the same time, support for all of V-RayвЂ™s native masking elements in the V-Ray Frame Buffer, and a new system for calculating caustics progressively. The release also introduces more recent features originally rolled out in V-Ray 5 for 3ds Max Update 1. Update 1 adds support for two further existing V-Ray features: V-Ray Fur and the V-Ray Clipper Tool, used to create cutaway renders.Д«etter handling of translucency, caustics, and masking in the V-Ray Frame Buffer V-Ray 5 for Cinema 4D itself was ChaosвЂ™s first major update to the software after acquiring it from LAUBlab, and brought the feature set more in line with other editions of the renderer. Support for V-Ray Fur and the V-Ray Clipper Tool However, not all individual V-Ray features are supported: when users switch to V-Ray Node materials, only comaptible maps and shaders are displayed.Д¬haos told us: вЂњV-Ray MultiSubTex and the Gradient Ramp shader are two examples, but we hope to support them in the future. Updated 28 June 2021: We contacted Chaos to find out more about how the new node-based workflow compares to the old Clasic materials.Д¬haos told us: вЂњYou should be able to recreate any material effect possible with the new Node materials just like you do with the Classic ones.вЂќ ItвЂ™s also important to note that while node-based materials were first introduced in Cinema 4D R20, V-RayвЂ™s implementation requires Cinema 4D R21.1 or higher. The new V-Ray material nodes are not compatible with Classic Materials like VRayMtl, so you canвЂ™t mix the two within a material, although you can use separate Node and Classic materials in the same scene.

Switching to the new V-Ray Node Space inside the Node Editor provides access to a set of nodes for creating material set-ups, plus output nodes for standard and two-sided materials.Д¬haos describes the toolset as making it possible to вЂњmanage your entire V-Ray shading network вЂ¦ from creating materials and textures to adding the finishing touchesвЂќ. The main change in Update 1 is, unsurprisingly, the feature most requested by V-Ray for Cinema 4D users: the option to create V-Ray materials using Cinema 4DвЂ™s new node-based editor. vrscene import.Д¬reate V-Ray materials inside Cinema 4DвЂ™s new Node Editor The update also restores support for V-Ray render masks and.
