Updates to Chaos V-Ray 7 for 3ds Max introduce additional features
Chaos V-Ray 7 for 3ds Max Gets a Major Update
In an exciting development, Chaos has unveiled the second update for V-Ray 7 for 3ds Max, bringing a host of new features and improvements to the table. This update aims to streamline workflows, boost creativity, and enhance the overall user experience for 3ds Max users.
AI-Powered Tools
The update introduces two AI-powered tools, both in beta, designed to revolutionize your rendering process.
- Chaos AI Enhancer: This tool automatically identifies and enhances key elements like people, vegetation, and other crucial image components. By improving details and realism with a single click, it speeds up your workflow and elevates the quality of your renders without the need for re-rendering.
- Chaos AI Material Generator: This tool creates physically based rendering (PBR) materials and texture maps directly from real-world photos uploaded to the Chaos Cosmos asset library. This significantly reduces the time spent on material creation and environment building.
Night Sky Features
The new Night Sky system delivers astronomically accurate stars, constellations, moon phases, and the Milky Way, all positioned realistically based on selected dates and geographical locations. Artists can tailor the appearance for artistic needs, while sun node updates provide extra flexibility for daylight moods, enhancing both realism and creative control.
Enhanced Cloud Collaboration and Rendering
The update also focuses on collaboration and rendering enhancements.
- Chaos Cloud GPU rendering is now faster and more cost-efficient, harnessing next-gen hardware with optimized RTX rendering.
- The new 3D streaming feature (in beta) enables remote collaborators to browse and review scenes at high quality even on mobile devices, facilitating feedback without technical barriers.
- The AI Enhancer is integrated into Chaos Cloud Collaboration for streamlined, no-render improvements during team workflows.
Additional Improvements
Apart from these key features, the update also includes several other improvements. Smarter artistic controls like Gaussian Splats clipping, Scatter Clustering, support for up to 256 unique LightMix light selects, faster Cosmos multi-imports, improved material workflows with OpenPBR support, and optimized viewport performance are just a few of the enhancements you can look forward to.
Wrapping Up
With these updates, 3ds Max users working with V-Ray 7 can expect substantial improvements in workflow efficiency, creative flexibility, photorealism, and collaboration options. The new AI-powered tools, Night Sky features, and cloud collaboration enhancements are set to redefine the way you work with 3ds Max and V-Ray 7.
In alignment with the update, 3ds Max users working with V-Ray 7 can now leverage AI-powered tools such as the Chaos AI Enhancer and the Chaos AI Material Generator that are explicitly designed to expedite and elevate the rendering process. Additionally, the incorporation of the AI Enhancer into Chaos Cloud Collaboration significantly enhances team workflows by allowing for streamlined, no-render improvements.
