The RTX-enabled version of V-Ray lets artists easily render large, complex scenes with photorealistic details faster than before. The new updates will speed up GPU rendering by an average of 40 percent when compared to general GPU acceleration running on the same RTX hardware. With NVIDIA RTX, V-Ray delivers interactive rendering and massive speed-ups in performance. These systems are designed to meet creators’ demands for performance and reliability, and include carefully selected hardware and software specifications as well as the latest NVIDIA Studio Drivers. Powering this technology are NVIDIA Quadro RTX and GeForce RTX GPUs, like the ones found in RTX Studio-branded systems from Dell, HP, Lenovo and other OEMs. “By supporting NVIDIA RTX in V-Ray GPU, we’re bringing our customers an exciting new boost in their GPU production rendering speeds.”

“Accelerating artist productivity is always our top priority, so we’re quick to take advantage of the latest ray tracing hardware breakthroughs,” said Phillip Miller, vice president of product management at Chaos Group. Cycles is an open source production renderer that uses NVIDIA OptiX to offer a wide range of features to enhance 3D animation, like subsurface scattering and motion blur. V-Ray is the software renderer used by professionals across industries like 3D animation, visual effects, architecture, automotive and product design.


From animators creating complex scenes with realistic 3D characters to architects designing buildings with accurate reflections, real-time ray tracing and AI are proving to be game-changers across industries.Īnd now more of the world’s top applications have begun shipping with NVIDIA RTX technology to let artists explore their creativity further.Īmong the latest this week: Chaos Group’s V-Ray and Blender’s Cycles.
