TheChaos team have been hard at work further developing and fine-tuning V-Ray since the initial release of version 6 back in July 2022. As we’ll explore here, this update to the renowned production renderer includes improvements to the frame buffer, decal, GPU and cameras, among other areas.

As V-Ray is one of the longest-standing renderers on the market, it can be hard to imagine what is left to improve, but time and again the developers successfully manage to introduce further enhancements. This latest update features wide-ranging improvements that extend its capabilities, ensuring it continues as one of the most well-rounded renderers in the industry. We’ll take a look at some of its new features and whether or not they’re worth all the hype.
