V-Ray for SketchUp

ASGvis is the maker of V-Ray for SketchUp. V-Ray for Sketch-Up offers visualisation professionals a high-tech solution producing high-quality images of unmatched realism.

V-Ray performs within the SketchUp environment allowing users capable of efficiently incorporate the task of rendering within their existing workflows. With V-Ray for SketchUp, users now have one of the most powerful rendering tools available to visualize their models with the utmost quality and realism.

Render Options have become easier than before with Default Render settings reflecting correct settings for Indirect Illumination, the V-Ray Sun, V-Ray Sky, and Sampling levels.

Sketchup animation has improved with the V-Ray plugin support. V-Ray is a rendering plug-in that enables Sketch-Up users to have a performance enhancements for producing an outstanding image quality. The renders using these V-Ray technique can appear more photo-realistic to the human eye, as actual lighting effects are more realistically emulated.

The power of VRay is now paired with one of the most easy to use modelers, SketchUp. VRay gives SketchUp users the freedom to express their sketchup models in completely new ways. With VRay users have the capability take their ideas from conception to full realization.

The V-ray add on features a robust set of global illumination and ray-tracing features which helps the users set up the lighting for entire scene easily. So they don’t have to spend a lot of time adjusting lighting location and location. that enable them to bring their ideas to life quickly, easily, and cost-effectively. V-Ray’s render options are now easier than ever with the introduction of various default settings.

V-Ray for SketchUp also supports High Dynamic Range values, also called HDRI (High Dynamic Range Image). With a normal 24bit, 8bit per channel RGB image ( Low Dynamic Range image), the brightest white colour you can get is R255, G255 and B255.

Top studios in all disciplines have relied on V-Ray for years to generate photorealistic images of outstanding quality.

Unique features of V-Ray :-

♦ True & Glossy raytraced reflections and refractions

♦ Area shadows (soft shadows). Includes box and sphere emitters

♦ Indirect Illumination (global illumination,global lighting). Different approaches include direct computation (brute force), and irradiance maps.

♦ Depth-Of-Field camera effect

♦ Antialiasing. Includes fixed, simple 2-level and adaptive approaches

♦ Caustics

♦ True HDRI support. Includes support of proper texture coordinate handling for both cubic and angular maps. Map your images directly without distortions or cropping

♦ Re-usable irradiance maps (save and load support). Incremental sampling for fly-through animations

♦ V-Ray Material Editor with Material Preview

♦ V-Ray Sun and Sky

♦ V-Ray Physical Camera

♦ Displacement

♦ Distributed Rendering allowing a single image to be process over up to 10 machines

♦ Per Material GI, Background, Reflection and Refraction

♦ V-Ray Two-Sided Material for easy creation of thin translucency

♦ Animation Support
