AI Enhancer (beta) refines realism in people and vegetation - AI Material Generator (beta) turns real-world photos into PBR materials - [AI Upscaler (beta)](https://blog.chaos.com/chaos-ai-upscaler?hsLang=en) turns low-resolution drafts or renders into high-quality, presentation-ready visuals, saving hours of rendering time - Create realistic night scenes with stars, moon, and Milky Way synced to real-world location and time - With Chaos Cloud 3D streaming (beta), you can share your scene with a link and let clients explore, comment, and give feedback directly in the browser - Take advantage of new scattering and exposure controls, texture randomization, asset  presets, and more ## New AI tools that do the heavy lifting Every feature in V-Ray is built with the artist in mind. We’ve designed [AI tools](https://blog.chaos.com/chaos-ai-powered-tools?hsLang=en)that blend seamlessly into your workflow, so technology enhances creativity instead of interrupting it. The latest release brings intelligence where it matters most — inside your creative process.  The AI Enhancer (beta), part of Chaos Cloud Collaboration, lets you refine realism in elements like foliage, terrain, and people — without needing to re-render your full frame. With the [Advanced Controls](https://blog.chaos.com/ai-enhancer-advanced-controls?hsLang=en), you can further fine-tune specific objects, such as people, by adjusting traits like age, ethnicity, and clothing style, or refine vegetation for precision and consistency. In addition, with the  AI Upscaler (beta) you can convert your low-res drafts into stunning, high-quality visuals in minutes. You can also take advantage of the AI Material Generator (beta), which transforms a real-world photo into a fully configured PBR material (with maps) with a click directly within Cosmos. ## Simulate night with cosmic accuracy V-Ray’s new Night Sky feature brings a touch of astronomy into your workflow, delivering realistic celestial scenes that feel alive. Simulate the moon, stars, and even the Milky Way based on real-world location, date, and time — complete with accurate lighting, positioning, and moon phases. These elements aren’t just decorative; they contribute to global illumination, adding depth and atmosphere to your nighttime renders. ## **Share your work with ease via 3D streaming** With **Chaos Cloud 3D Streaming** (beta), you can instantly share and explore projects online - no heavy files or complex setups required. Upload your scene, share a simple link, and let clients or teammates explore your model in real time, on any device. They can navigate freely, place pins, and leave comments directly in the scene, making review sessions more visual, interactive, and productive than ever before. ## **Precision and creativity go hand in hand in V-Ray** Precision and creativity go hand in hand — and the latest V-Ray update gives you more ways than ever to fine-tune every pixel.  The **enhanced scattering** tool introduces clustering, altitude, and “look-at” controls that let you achieve beautifully natural variations, like flower groupings within grass or precisely oriented crowds. With **Gaussian Splats Clipping**, integrating 3D scans is now seamless. Trim splats directly in your design tool and blend them perfectly with surrounding geometry for a cohesive, polished result. The **Enhanced Exposure Layer** brings photography-level control to your renders, allowing you to adjust Highlights, Shadows, Whites, and Blacks with precision for perfectly balanced lighting. And with the new **Eyedropper Tool**, you can instantly sample colors from anywhere on your screen, ensuring effortless color matching and harmony across your entire scene. ## **Smoother, smarter, more creative workflows** This V-Ray update is also about smoother, smarter processes — fewer clicks, cleaner results, and more time to focus on design. With built-in, ready-to-use **Asset Presets** for materials, textures, and assets, you can jumpstart your workflow and achieve professional-quality results in a single click. Create lifelike water with intuitive, animation-ready controls, or build natural environments with smart grass presets and guided materials — it’s never been easier to turn creative ideas into beautifully rendered reality. The **Advanced Texture Randomization** feature adds depth and realism to every surface, introducing subtle variations that break repetition and bring materials to life with rich, believable detail. ## **Under-the-hood improvements** Beyond these headline features, V-Ray 7 Update 2 also includes GPU improvements. Thanks to a major GPU infrastructure upgrade, **Chaos Cloud** now delivers faster render times at lower costs. With 24 GB of GPU memory, you can render more complex and larger scenes more efficiently.  Explore all the latest features and enhancements in action. ## **Why this update matters** With this update, V-Ray 7 becomes smarter, more expressive, and much easier to use. Whether you're enhancing realism with AI, streaming interactive scenes to clients, or fine-tuning atmosphere and textures, this release is designed to free you to focus on creative vision — not technical hurdles.
