V-Ray has become the renderer of choice in big production studios across the world. Feature film productions, multi-million dollar game productions, large and small architectural visualizations have trusted their visuals to V-Ray.
Feature Rich
V-Ray offers a set of features that you should expect from a quality renderer. With its fast fully multithreaded raytracing engine it takes the advantage of all the CPUs supported by your system throughout its pipeline - preparation and rendering. Capable of making accurate reflections and refractions clean or glossy and blurred, it helps achieve astonishing realism in the computer generated realm.
Simulation of focusing helps in simulating real-life cameras. Different methods of illumination simulation, caustics calculations help with per-object based property adjustments help artists achieve great rendering performance for fine art photorealistic images. Adaptive antialiasing based on color difference as well as G-Buffer channels is one of its advanced features. It includes sophisticated multipass methods as well as simple approaches.
Optimized Performance
With its fast performance V-Ray unveils a whole new world of possibilities to artists. Speed is what has always been a problem for most raytracers. Some have poor optimizations, while others don't utilize all of the system's processors properly. That’s why V-Ray is built around optimization routines designed to bring you one of the fastest renderers in the industry.
Network and Distributed Rendering
For 3ds Max: V-Ray supports 2 types of network rendering - distributed and network. Distributed rendering allows you to use up to 10 machines to render a single frame. Distributed rendering is per IP and each individual V-Ray license you purchase includes 10 DR licenses. This means that V-Ray does not impose a limit on how many CPUs your computer can have!
Network rendering allows you to use up to 10,000 machines to render 3ds Max scenes. Yes, 10,000! You just need to install the Render Slave version of V-Ray on the machines you want to render with.
For Maya: Faithful to its vision for extraordinary speed and quality, users are empowered to improve render times by taking advantage of the V-ray for Maya licensing. Each V-Ray for Maya license allows the usage of up to 10 additional render nodes, running either in Maya batch mode or as a standalone render server through the v-Ray Standalone application. The Standalone application allows rendering to occur independently of Maya and is considered an outstanding option to boost the speed for both standard and distributed rendering.
If your needs change you can purchase additional licenses at any time.

Customer Comments
V-Ray has simply become our renderer of choice. After looking at the various render solutions out on the market, my decision was easy. We were looking for a solution where we weren't limited and bound by renderer-specific shaders. We were able to take existing scenes, switch to the V-Ray renderer and have them render successfully without having to make any modifications.
I was impressed not only with the seamless transition, but also with the render quality and the vastly superior speed of the renderer. I never thought I would see exceptional Global Illumination as being viable in a production environment, V-Ray has proven me wrong with their intelligent and beautiful solution."
