Chaos Group 发布 V-Ray 3.3 for Maya

admin

Chaos Group has released V-Ray 3.3 for Maya, the latest update to the Maya version of its industry-standard renderer, finally bringing the feature set in line with the 3ds Max edition of the software.

“V-Ray for 3ds Max and Maya are now at the same level,” said Chaos Group CTO Vlado Koylazov.

Hundreds of new features, speed boosts of 20-50% on ‘typical scenes’Chaos Group describes the 3.3 release as “our biggest update yet: the equivalent of two service packs in one”.

Like V-Ray 3.3 for 3ds Max, released late last year, V-Ray 3.3 for Maya boosts performance across the board – by “20-50% on most scenes”.

The update also implements Chaos Group’s Variance-based Adaptive Sampler, intended to make noise removal in images less dependent on material or lighting settings, and to improve sampling of alpha channels.

In addition, GPU support has been added for rendering hair – the image on our homepage shows support for Alembic hair within V-Ray RT GPU – subsurface scattering, displacements, tiled textures, and light cache GI.

As usual, Chaos Group has provided a nice concise summary list of the new features, reproduced in full below.
