Effortlessly bring your Cycles material libraries into V-Ray
With the new Cycles-to-V-Ray Material Converter, you can now render essential Cycles materials directly in V-Ray and automatically translate them into V-Ray equivalents. This means you can keep using the libraries you’ve spent years building without having to recreate them from scratch — saving time, avoiding interruptions, and making the transition seamless. Support for additional Cycles materials will continue to grow, so you can keep expanding your creative toolkit.

Render geometry nodes
V-Ray now supports out-of-the-box rendering for Blender’s Geometry Node setups, enabling you to keep the procedural modeling workflows you love. From intricate parametric surfaces to vast environment scattering, you can use complex procedural geometry directly in V-Ray without baking or conversion, keeping projects lightweight and flexible all the way through production.
Ultra-realistic materials, instantly
Tap into the Chaos Scans library through Cosmos and explore over 3,100 ultra-realistic scanned materials — including metals, leathers, papers, plastics, and rubbers. These real-world scanned assets are easy to search, preview, and drop into your scenes, giving your renders unmatched realism.
Cosmos is set to grow to over 30,000 high-poly and 14,000 low-poly assets, with an AI Material Generator also on the horizon.
Consistency across your pipeline with OpenPBR
Switching between tools and renderers is now smoother than ever with OpenPBR support. A new OpenPBR mode in the V-Ray Material ensures consistent shading across compatible applications, helping you avoid tedious manual adjustments and maintain visual fidelity from start to finish.
Ready for Blender 4.5 LTS
V-Ray for Blender is now compatible with Blender 4.5, so you can take advantage of the latest long-term support release without missing a beat in your rendering workflow.
