V-Ray Next for Revit

What’s New?

New Functionality

  • View-specific settings. Render and maintain multiple views with individual lighting, mood, and composition. Whether it’s a bright exterior or a nighttime interior you can quickly switch between the two within the same project.
  • New Grass/Fur workflow. Create more realistic furry surfaces, such as grass and fabrics, with the new and extended V-Ray Fur workflow.
  • Sun Animation. V-Ray now adds extra realism to Revit’s Solar Study. Explore and visualize the impact of natural light and shadows on your designs across a variety of timespans.
  • Batch rendering. Leave V-Ray to render your project images while you are away. Batch rendering helps you to schedule multiple views for rendering with a click of a button.

Enhanced Productivity

  • Transfer Auto values. Reduce the amount of time you spend adjusting renders with automatically calculated exposure and white balance values. Values are now displayed in a single click and can be further adjusted manually.
  • Color Assistant. V-Ray Color Picker’s new extension saves time by suggesting a color shade palette to choose the right color for your designs.
  • Material picker. Replacing a Revit material with V-Ray material has never been easier. Pick a surface in Revit view and instantly locate its material in the Appearance Manager.

Latest & Greatest

  • Revit 2021. V-Ray now fully supports the latest versions of Revit.
  • RTX support. Leverage even more of your GPU’s performance with NVIDIA RTX card support.
