Vray for rhino series#
Users can instantly adjust lighting in the new V-Ray Frame Buffer Īnother new feature is the Light Gen tool, capable of generating a variety of lighting options automatically and displayed as a series of thumbnails, making it easier to find the best look and mood for a scene. V-Ray 5 for Rhino is available and compatible with Rhino 6-7, and offers some key new features, including V-Ray Vision, a live scene viewer that updates in real-time, allowing Rhino and Grasshopper users to build models, apply materials and set up lights and cameras with immediate feedback.Įncouraging fast, fluid design visualisation throughout a project, V-Ray Vision aims to help users work through new ideas and client feedback from start to finish, with the ability to quickly snapshot images or output animation at any time.
Vray for rhino update#
you will have hard time at first trying to adjust rhino camera and maxwell camera, and sometimes if you accidentally create a bad object in rhino, it will crash during voxelisation.V-Ray 5 for Rhino has been announced, with the new update bringing real-time rendering into Rhino and Grasshopper. Yes it is a big issue that there is no direct integrity between rhino and maxwell, because maxwell works as standalone rendering engine. not to mention all the settings are in SI that means u can get all the IOR, or other luminance setting info directly from google or Wikipedia.

Maxwell works best for product rendering as it can produce accurate DOF, real world caustic and specularity. If you just want to do a concept rendering then there are many other renderer that can offer a fast and “okay” result. If you want to stick doing rendering in rhino, maxwell so far is the best choice if you are looking for high quality (photorealistic) rendering however I wouldnt recommend using Vray for Rhino, if you want to master your Vray, export the model to 3dsmax to get the best from Vray. most maxwell beginner complains about the noise problem because they just expect to get a good clean render by simply hit the render button. The other thing I want to mention is the noise problem, there are some photography techniques to reduce the noise, and it depends on how you light your scene. The only disadvantage of using maxwell is because it is CPU-based at the moment ( soon they will release GPU-based) that is why it is so slow if you dont invest your comp with enough memory. and multlight feature in maxwell is the thing that is very useful for designers.

It takes a while to get the good setting for maxwell and it is faster to learn compared to Vray (took me 5 years to get a hang on Vray for 3dsmax and only took me less than a year to get a hang on maxwell).Īlso, if you are an architect, all maxwell unit are in SI, that means your lighting setting will be physically correct and u can use that for lighting study for your interior scene. Simply because Vray version for rhino is outdated (2.0) if you compare it to 3ds max or maya, Vray for Rhino is no match. I have been using Maxwell for Rhino, although it is super slow but it gives me the best result compared to Vray. Which one would you recommend as an alternative to vray? We do mostly product design (printers, tools, perfume bottles) and sometimes transportation interiors (trains and buses). I tried Maxwell but I was not very impressed, I would like a fully-integrated render plugin. Then I was wondering, which renderer for Rhino has the widest userbase?īrazil and Flamingo claim to be the “greatest and fastest” of them all, of course.

Some suggest the userbase is too scarce to justify a decent support.
Vray for rhino manual#
vray 2.0 has benn out for a year and the user manual is stuck at v.
Vray for rhino license#
Their choice of using a usb dongle (located on our server) is a pain in the neck, I cannot render when I take my laptop home, and vray checks for the license every time you hit a button, if the network is slow or congested that means freezing or crashing Rhino.įurthermore, vray for rhino documentation is hilarious. We use Rhino 5, 64 bit, and we currently use vray. It’s probably been asked many times, but I couldn’t find any recent reply (all before 2008).
