Chaos Group V-Ray for Revit
PROFESSIONAL RENDERING FOR ARCHITECTS AND DESIGNERS
The highest level of photorealism
from concept to completion
High-quality visuals are key to communicating ideas throughout the design process.
With V-Ray Next for Revit, you can generate incredible renders of your Revit models from your earliest concepts to the final marketing materials with the highest level of realism.
BENEFITS
ACCURACY
Analyze a design according to its actual lighting and the true reflections and refractions of its materials.
SEAMLESS REVIT INTEGRATION
All decisions live in the Revit project without altering the BIM database. All workflows are done within Revit — there’s no import/export.
INTEROPERABILITY
Leverage the V-Ray work done in other 3D tools like 3ds Max, Rhino or SketchUp for render-ready assets and reusable materials.
CUSTOM ENTOURAGE
Easily place custom 3D entourage in Revit without polluting your BIM database or impacting Revit’s performance.
SCALABLE QUALITY
Quickly make traditional, monochromatic studies with convenient material overrides.
POWER
Speed up workflow with multiple processors (CPU and/or GPU), harness networked machines with Swarm or use Chaos Cloud on demand.
WHAT’S NEW

V-RAY NEXT FOR REVIT, UPDATE 1
Render and maintain multiple views with individual lighting, mood and composition with the new View-specific settings. The latest update also adds RTX support, batch rendering, an enhanced Color Picker and lots more. All of this now available for Revit 2021.
Features
SMART FUNCTIONALITY
Render multiple views with individual lighting, mood and composition with the new View-specific settings. V-Ray also enables batch rendering, supports Revit’s sun animation and more.
PRODUCTIVITY ENHANCEMENTS
Update 1 introduces a number of improvements, including an enhanced Color Picker for suggesting the best color of your designs, a quick way to replace Revit materials and more.
SUPPORTING THE LATEST & GREATEST
V-Ray now fully supports Revit 2021, the latest version of Autodesk’s BIM software. And you can accelerate GPU production rendering with NVIDIA RTX support.
KEY FEATURES
Rendering
CPU, GPU & HYBRID RENDERING
V-Ray comes with two powerful rendering engines. You can choose between super-fast GPU and CPU or Hybrid rendering to best suit your project needs and requirements.
DENOISER
A new NVIDIA AI Denoiser uses artificial intelligence to remove noise in an instant. And the V-Ray Denoiser supports denoising individual render channels to simplify compositing.
INTERACTIVE RENDERING
Render interactively while you design. Fine-tune lights, materials and cameras and see the results right away.
RENDER CHANNELS
Choose from many unique beauty, utility and matte passes to give you more control over your rendered images in compositing.
SCENE INTELLIGENCE
Automatically analyzes your scene to optimize rendering so you get the best quality in less time.
CHAOS CLOUD
Rendering on the Cloud is just one click away.
V-RAY SWARM
Powerful and scalable distributed rendering system that’s simple and fast. Get an extra speed boost with V-Ray Render nodes.
SETTINGS MANAGEMENT
Easy to share render settings across teams and projects.
User interface
SEAMLESS INTEGRATION
V-Ray naturally fits into Revit’s UI and complements your Revit workflow without altering your BIM database.
ASSET EDITOR
Create, edit, save and manage your V-Ray materials all in one place with the new Asset Editor. Various advanced materials give designers even more control to fine-tune their designs.
APPEARANCE MANAGER
Take your Revit renders to the next level. With the Appearance Manager, you can set basic Revit assets to automatically switch to more realistic V-Ray assets at render time.
FRAME BUFFER
Track history of your rendered images, fine-tune their color parameters and save them directly to your Revit project.
Lighting
ACCURATE LIGHTING
Simulate any type of natural, artificial, or image-based lighting.V-Ray automatically converts all Revit lights to V-Ray ones and further extends Revit’s lighting capabilities.
ADAPTIVE LIGHTS
This lighting algorithm dramatically speeds up rendering in scenes containing many lights.
ADAPTIVE DOME LIGHT
Render image-based lighting much faster with the new Adaptive Dome Light. It’s exceptionally quick for interiors and substantially speeds up your rendering.
LIGHTING ANALYSIS
Easily visualize real-world illumination values (lux) with the new Lighting Analysis render element.
Camera
REAL-WORLD CAMERAS
Simulate photographic cameras from Revit’s native camera views.
AUTO EXPOSURE AND WHITE BALANCE
It’s as simple as point and shoot. The V-Ray Physical Camera can now set the correct camera exposure and white balance automatically.
LENS EFFECTS
Add that extra touch of photorealism with real-world camera lens effects such as bloom and glare.
VIRTUAL REALITY
Experience your designs at 1:1 scale. Create content for popular VR headsets with 6×1 cubic and spherical stereo camera types.
DOF AND VIGNETTING
Emphasize a particular part of your rendered model with advanced camera effects like DOF and vignetting.
Materials & textures
PHYSICAL MATERIALS
Create great looking materials that look exactly like the real thing.
MATERIAL LIBRARY
Over 500 high-quality architectural materials — compatible with V-Ray for 3ds Max, Rhino and SketchUp.
NATIVE MATERIALS SUPPORT
Render an enhanced version of your Revit materials automatically.
DECALS
Add images to paintings, signs, screens and more. V-Ray Next for Revit adds full support for Revit Decals.
TEXTURE MAPS
Create realistic and unique shaders using any texture map or one of V-Ray’s many built-in procedural textures – Gradient, Temperature, Tri-Planar, etc.
MATERIAL OVERRIDES
Make the most out of your early designs and get a feel of your project by quickly rendering cardboard models.
VRSCANS
1000+ scanned materials. Import and render directly in V-Ray.
METALNESS
The V-Ray Material adds native support for metallic reflections (Metalness) for greater compatibility with PBR materials from applications like Substance Designer.
Atmospheric effects
ENVIRONMENT FOG
Quickly add realistic atmospheric depth and haze and use true 3D fog with realistic light scattering.
AERIAL PERSPECTIVE
Simulate natural looking skies with realistic atmospheric depth.
VOLUMETRIC MATERIALS
Realistic material light scattering and translucency.
