Physically Based Rendering
Full path-tracing with global illumination, caustics, subsurface scattering, and volumetric rendering accurately simulate how light behaves in the real world, producing photorealistic results from any camera position.
About V-Ray SuiteAll Chaos products
What it is, and why teams use it.
What V-Ray is
The Emmy and Academy Award-winning renderer trusted by more than 90% of the world's top architecture firms and leading VFX studios. V-Ray by Chaos is the global standard for photorealistic rendering, an Emmy Award and Academy Award-winning technology used daily by architects, designers, animators and VFX artists in virtually every creative industry.
Its physically accurate light and material simulation produces images indistinguishable from photographs. CPU, GPU and hybrid rendering modes let studios maximise the hardware they already own, NVIDIA workstations and CPU render farms alike. V-Ray integrates natively with 3ds Max, Maya, Cinema 4D, SketchUp, Rhino, Revit, Houdini, and Unreal Engine.
Where it fits
Storm FX supplies V-Ray to AEC & archviz and media & entertainment teams across Australia and New Zealand. We'll talk through licensing, hardware and pipeline fit before you commit.
Key features
What V-Ray Suite brings.
CPU, GPU & Hybrid Rendering
The only renderer on the market offering fully equivalent CPU, GPU, and hybrid CPU+GPU rendering. Studios get complete flexibility to maximise whichever hardware they own.
AI-Powered Denoiser
NVIDIA AI and Intel Open Image Denoise remove render noise in real time, dramatically cutting render times without sacrificing image quality. Particularly valuable when production schedules are tight.
V-Ray Frame Buffer
A powerful compositing environment built into V-Ray, with LightMix for post-adjusting light intensity and colour, layered colour correction, and render element management without leaving the renderer.
Chaos Cosmos Asset Library
Integrated library of thousands of render-ready 3D models, materials, and HDRI skies with automatic level-of-detail, accurate scale, and consistent appearance across all V-Ray host applications.
Chaos Cloud Rendering
One-click access to cloud rendering resources for burst capacity. Submit jobs from within V-Ray without leaving the host application or managing third-party infrastructure.
Use cases
How it plays out in practice.
Scanline VFX: Superhero Film Production
Scanline VFX deployed V-Ray across their pipeline for a major superhero film, with VFX supervisors citing V-Ray GPU's interactive feedback as transforming the look development process for large-scale destruction and environmental sequences.
AECOM: Architectural Visualisation
The Head of Visualisation & VR EMEA at AECOM credits V-Ray's photorealistic quality and parameter control as enabling the global design firm to produce client-presentation imagery that consistently meets the highest standards.
Downtown Studio: Commercial ArchViz
Polish architectural visualisation studio Downtown Studio uses V-Ray for 3ds Max for all client projects, relying on its material library and light simulation to produce renders that win commissions globally.
