Chaos Group V-Ray Next, Update 1.1 (build 4.10.02) for Rhino

Chaos Group is pleased to announce the availability of V-Ray Next, Update 1.1 (build 4.10.02) for Rhino, the first smart renderer made for designers. Tailored tools have expanded the core capabilities of Rhino and Grasshopper, linking photorealistic rendering, scene intelligence and asset management into a powerful new workflow that centralizes the design/visualization experience.

V-Ray Next, Update 1.1 (build 4.10.02) Official release - Date: Nov 05, 2019

Improvements & Bug Fixes
- Chaos Cloud client application installer updated to version 1.6.0
- V-Ray no longer prevents Rhino from accepting images dragged over its viewport
- Vrmesh, vrscene and alembic files can now be drag and dropped directly from Windows explorer to the Rhino viewport. A proxy reference geometry is automatically created in the scene
- Layer visibility changes during interactive rendering now correctly affect sub-layers object visibility
- Embree now automatically optimizes fur and motion blur rendering. Enabling the Embree checkbox will ensure that both fur strands and motion blurred frames are rendered in an optimal way
- A number of small improvements are introduced to the default V-Ray Settings
- Displacement parameter changes now reliably update during interactive rendering
- Rhino ground planes using a Wrapper or an Override V-Ray material are no longer rendered black
- Dropdown menus in the V-Ray object properties panel are now correctly sized on systems with custom display scaling (mostly affecting high DPI systems)
- Modifying a custom sunlight during interactive rendering no longer breaks its connection to the V-Ray Sky environment map
- The anti-aliasing filter type and size are no longer reset when a project is saved and then re-opened
- The way Rhino camera parameters are translated to the V-Ray camera is optimized and improved
- Batch rendering a sequence of vrscene files no longer outputs image files with double frame numbering
- VFB Color corrections and lens effect properties are automatically reset when Rhino is restarted. Only the VFB history settings are preserved
- Proxy viewport mesh previews are now correctly recreated on Snapshot restore
- VFB dropdown menus no longer sink behind the main window on Windows 7 and 8.1
- Converting unnamed Rhino materials to V-Ray ones no longer causes a crash
- Restoring snapshots with hidden V-Ray proxies (mesh or scene proxies) no longer causes a crash
- V-Ray now correctly renders non-repeating (disabled tiling) Rhino textures
- Selecting objects in a parallel projection view no longer causes random interactive updates
- Replacing one Rhino material with another one by drag and dropping it now correctly updates the scene during interactive rendering
- Modifying unassigned materials no longer causes interactive updates
- The camera lens shift is no longer ignored after Rhino camera parameters are manually adjusted
V-Ray for Grasshopper
- The Light Rig Dome no longer produces differences between the background directly visible to the camera and parts viewed through refraction
- The V-Ray Exporter component’s Open function now works with animated file sequences
- Proxy mesh loading in Grasshopper is optimized
- An issue preventing the Material from File component context from appearing is resolved
- Incorrect output connections are no longer established when upgrading old V-Ray light components
- Improved precision when picking the current frame of the Timeline component


Chaos Group has released V-Ray Next for Rhino, the latest update to the edition of the renderer for Robert McNeel & Associates’ NURBS-based industrial modelling software. The update makes key features of the V-Ray Next architecture available to Rhino users, introduces new asset management tools, and extends support for Rhino’s Grasshopper procedural modelling system.

- Performance boosts, plus new Scene Intelligence and asset-management features
The new features in V-Ray Next for Rhino follow a similar pattern to those from V-Ray Next for SketchUp, which shipped last month. That means the key features of the V-Ray Next architecture: better overall CPU and GPU render performance, plus new ‘Scene Intelligence’ features designed to simplify render set-up, including the Adaptive Dome Light and automatic exposure. The update also adds support for Nvidia’s AI-based OptiX render denoising system, and makes the standard V-Ray material compatible with metalness PBR workflows used in game engines like UE4. Workflow improvements include a simplified rendering UI, and a new asset-management system.
- Improved support for Grasshopper, and support for scripting
Support for Grasshopper, the “algorithmic modelling” system introduced in Rhino 6, has also been extended. New features include the option to animate Grasshopper definitions, cameras and sunlight settings from the V-Ray timeline; and support for physical camera settings and V-Ray Next’s lighting analysis render element within Grasshopper. In addition, V-Ray Next for Rhino introduces support for scripting via Python or RhinoScript, making it possible to automate common tasks or customise rendering functionality.

V-Ray Next for Rhino, update 1 features even tighter integration with Rhino. Now, you can create V-Ray materials directly in Rhino’s Materials panel and apply materials with a simple drag and drop. Enjoy a much faster interactive rendering, smarter features including Cryptomatte render element for easier object selection, as well as new lens effects and depth of field focus animations. The latest update also adds a host of new features for V-Ray for Grasshopper that enable you to create even more advanced animations and ability to export an animation file from Grasshopper.
