The world's most complete 3D rendering software for high-end visualization and production.
V-Ray® for 3ds Max is a production-proven rendering software. Known for its versatility and ability to handle any type of project — from massive, dynamic scenes having thousands of lights to a sublime still life — it is the go-to solution for artists and designers across 3D industries.
Award-winning rendering technology for any project.
For truly photorealistic renders, you want a raytracer that’s built for quality, optimized for speed, and ready to scale. V-Ray gives you the power to work with lightning-fast interactive and heavyweight production rendering—all while getting the most from your CPU and GPU hardware.
Built to handle your toughest scenes.
When you’re working with the biggest scene you’ve ever seen, you need a renderer that won’t let you down. Billions of polygons? Thousands of lights? V-Ray can handle it all. Render anything and everything with V-Ray. Adaptive Lights, Proxy Objects, Distributed Rendering — an arsenal of production-proven features when you need them.

Post-process your renders without the need of a separate tool.
V-Ray equips you with a complete set of lighting, shading, and rendering tools—all integrated with 3ds Max. The redesigned V-Ray Frame buffer with light mixing and layered compositing means you only need to use one tool for more than just rendering — no need to go back and forth between different apps.

Native ACEScg support
Select industry-standard ACEScg for rendering with automatic color space adjustment for textures, dispersion, sun & sky, and light temperature colors.
Initial out-of-core
Initial out-of-core implementation to handle your largest scenes.
Lighting & illumination
Adaptive Lights
Faster, cleaner and more accurate rendering in scenes containing many lights and image-based environment lighting.
Lighting Analysis tools
Accurately measure the light levels in your scene using the lighting analysis tools.
Learn more >
Accurate Lights
Simulate any type of natural, artificial, or image-based lighting with a wide range of light types.
Global Illumination
Choose from several global illumination options – exact, approximate or a hybrid of both.
Smart Asset Editor
Create, edit and manage all of your assets including lights, materials, textures, geometry and render elements all in one place. All assets are structured in an intuitive folder structure.
File Manager
Manage all of your scene files in one place. Set file paths, create scene archives, and keep track of assets like textures, IES files, and proxy objects.
V-Ray Color Picker
A powerful color-picker allowing you to choose the exact color you need with the right hue and saturation. Provides RGB color values and a Kelvin temperature slider corresponding to every color slot.
Light Gen
Light Gen is a new V-Ray tool that automatically generates thumbnails of your SketchUp scene each one presenting a unique lighting scenario. Choose your favorite look and you’re ready to render.
Light mixing
Adjust the lights in your scene even after you render. With Light Mix, once your scene is rendered, you can interactively adjust the brightness and color of any light without having to render again.
Adaptive lights
Faster, cleaner and more accurate rendering in scenes containing many lights and image-based environment lighting.
Global Illumination
Render photorealistic rooms and interiors with powerful and fast global illumination.
Accurate lights
Render any type of natural, artificial, or image-based lighting with a wide range of built-in light types.
Sun & Sky
Simulate realistic daylight, sunrise and sunset, even as the sun dips below the horizon, for any time and location. SketchUp sun animation is supported.
Lighting analysis tool
The new Lighting Analysis render element makes it easy to visualize the real-world illumination (Lux) values of any scene.
Camera
Real-world cameras
Work like a photographer, with controls for exposure, white balance, depth of field and more.
Virtual Reality
Render VR-ready content for popular virtual reality headsets with the help of the VR Camera types in Stereo mode.
Interactive lens effect
Instantly add GPU-accelerated glare, bloom and procedurally generated dust and scratches for added photorealism. Fine-tune lens effects interactively while you render.
Automatic exposure & white balance
Capture the perfect exposure every time. The new Auto Exposure and Auto White Balance camera controls make rendering as simple as point and shoot.
