faster rendering across cpu & Gpu Performance updates help artists get feedback and final renders sooner. GPU interactive previews can now begin up to twice as fast, while CPU rendering is up to 13 percent faster on supported configu- rations. Light Cache Denoising produces cleaner interactive previews faster, out-of-frustum displacement reduces memory use for geom- etry of complex surfaces outside the camera view, and Distributed Rendering 2 removes previous machine-count limits for larger jobs. new tools for artistic control V-Ray 7, Update 4 also introduces new artist-friendly tools and work- flows designed to reduce the time it takes to reach the desired look and final frame, including: • V-Ray Parallax Texture: Add depth to distant buildings using textures rather than full 3D geometry, reducing modelling work and scene weight. • Quick caustics: Create light refraction patterns without the setup required by the traditional photon-based workflow. • V-Ray Displacement Material: Build and combine displace- ment effects in a material that can move between V-Ray in- tegrations. Speed up early concept exploration with new AI tools in V-Ray for Maya, Chaos Vantage, and V-Ray for Blender (commercial version), generate PBR materials from photographs using the AI Material Gen- erator, and upscale low-resolution renders into presentation-ready images with the AI Upscaler. pricing & Availability V-Ray 7, Update 4 is available now.
