Background Cloud Submissions – Users now have uninterrupted access to Maya whenever they submit to Chaos Cloud Rendering, preserving their iterative cycle.Clients/teams can now add comments and annotation, see panorama views and more - from anywhere. Chaos Cloud Collaboration – For project reviews, V-Ray 6 for Maya adds push-button cloud collaboration, making it easy to share renders through Chaos Cloud via the V-Ray Frame Buffer (VFB).Thin-Film Materials – A new thin-film layer has been added to the V-Ray Material, making it easy to create iridescent materials like soap bubbles and oil spills.

This is especially helpful for rendering objects like cars with proper size and scale in relation to image-based lighting (IBL). Improved Dome Light – A new Finite Dome mode now allows users to control the physical size of their light, according to radius and height.Performance Improvements – Updates include up to 30% faster rendering for Environment Fog, up to 2x faster rendering for the Translucent layer in the V-Ray Material and enhanced memory efficiency for scenes featuring thousands of instances.USD Improvements – V-Ray 6 support the latest MayaUSD version and includes new enhancements for OpenVDB volumes and V-Ray material export, promoting an easy exchange with Solaris and USD-powered pipelines.Other features in V-Ray 6 for Maya include: By pairing V-Ray Profiler with Memory Tracking, V-Ray 6 for Maya users can monitor their projects. Artists can now locate all hot spots in their scene, helping them optimize pipelines for even faster rendering. V-Ray 6 for Maya also introduces a new profiler that tracks the calculation time of shaders and volumes in a scene.Artists can now customize their scenes, taking full advantage of ray-traced lighting, ground shadows and volumetric effects as they animate. Procedural Clouds have been added to the V-Ray Sun and Sky system, removing the need to settle for a static HDR or a cloudless sky.Enmesh is easy on the memory so users can add billions of polygons to a scene without compromising quality. With Enmesh, artists can start treating geometry like a texture, creating patterns like chainmail, car grills and fabrics that are ready for their close-up. VRayEnmesh is a new system that repeats geometry across the surface of an object in the most memory-efficient way possible.V-Ray 6 for Maya expands its feature set with geometric tiling, procedural clouds, a new shader profiler and more. Chaos has released V-Ray 6 for Maya, the latest version of its production renderer, which has been used on V-Ray has been on projects that include The Batman, For All Mankind and Stranger Things 4.
