V-Ray is a 3D rendering software that is compatible with most major digital content creation applications including Autodesk’s 3ds Max, Maya and Revit, Trimble’s SketchUp, McNeel’s Rhino, and Foundry’s Modo, Nuke and Katana.
V-Ray is also available for Cinema4D, Blender, and formZ. And It has been integrated directly into a variety of design applications such as Adobe Dimension.

V-Ray differs from other rendering solutions in that it includes both CPU and GPU+CPU hybrid rendering options. V-Ray renders using adaptive ray tracing technology and proprietary scene intelligence to create imagery that is indistinguishable from a photograph. It accurately calculates the distribution of light as well as the physical properties of any material.

It’s for this reason that V-Ray is so widely used in multiple industries such as architectural visualization, advertising, and visual effects for film and television.
