The all-in-one visualization solution
for Rhino and Grasshopper.
V-Ray® for Rhino is a 3D rendering software that combines real-time and photoreal rendering into one complete suite of visualization tools. From architecture to product design, it’s everything you need to bring your next design project to life.
Visualize in real-time.
New in V-Ray 5, V-Ray Vision gives you a live real-time view as you build your model, apply materials, and light your Rhino and Grasshopper designs. Now you can visualize any project in real-time while you design.
Turn your vision into reality.
With photorealistic lights, cameras, and materials, rendering with V-Ray is as real as it gets. Communicate and collaborate with confidence, knowing that your designs look just right.

Go beyond rendering.
Introducing all-new tools that let you fine-tune and finish your renders without needing an extra app. Composite render layers, make color corrections, and instantly adjust lighting in the new V-Ray Frame Buffer.
Elevate your designs.
Choose from a collection of smart assets — including high-quality models of plants, people, vehicles and furniture — and give your project real-world context. The all-new Chaos® Cosmos asset browser lets you easily place render-ready 3D content right into your Rhino scene.
Seamless Grasshopper integration.
Visualize your parametric designs on the fly. V-Ray for Grasshopper comes with V-Ray for Rhino and includes a collection of nodes to support V-Ray geometry, lighting, materials, rendering, and animation.

Key features
Take a look at the many powerful features we’ve developed in V-Ray for Rhino
Rendering
Real-time rendering
V-Ray® Vision gives the power to design and refine in real-time to anyone working in Rhino or Grasshopper. Now, you can explore a real-time view of your scene, set up lights and cameras, and apply materials.
CPU, GPU & Hybrid rendering
V-Ray comes with two powerful rendering engines. You can choose between super fast GPU and CPU or Hybrid rendering to best suit your project needs and requirements.
Smart 3D assets
Our integrated asset library, Chaos Cosmos, enables you to search and add render-ready objects and HDRI skies to your scene directly from the V-Ray toolbar. The Cosmos assets have automatic LODs, accurate scale, and can be used across 3ds Max, Rhino, and Revit.
Denoiser
Remove noise and dramatically cut the render times. Use the V-Ray Denoiser to denoise each render element in post-production. The NVIDIA AI Denoiser and Intel Open Image Denoise deliver instant noise-free feedback in V-Ray IPR.
Interactive rendering
Render while you design. See results right away as you adjust lights, materials and cameras. You could also look at the denoised image while rendering in the Rhino viewport.
Render Elements
Render separate layers for more artistic control in image-editing software.
V-Ray Swarm
Render with maximum power using V-Ray’s new simple and scalable distributed rendering.
Animations
V-Ray for Rhino enables light studies, turntables and fly-through animations rendering and an optimal way.
Line rendering
Apply contours to your entire scene or to a separate shader with a single click. Intuitively tweek controls to get the desired appearance.
Automating snapshots & batch renders
V-Ray Batch makes it easy to render snapshots from the same project or views from multiple Rhino files all at once.
Viewport rendering
An overlay on top of Rhino's viewport. It is rendered interactively and if scene changes are made, updates the rendered result.
V-Ray for Grasshopper
Straightforward workflow. Power functionality.
Visualize within the environment you use to model. Use the node system to utilize V-Ray’s powerful functionalities through five Node groups and their components.
Forget baking
Render generative geometry directly in Grasshopper. Work uninterrupted without the need to bake your designs in Rhino as you iterate.
V-Ray Vision in Grasshopper
Add the Live Link component and observe your design update in real-time while working inside Grasshopper.
Customizable materials
Start with the basic preset V-Ray material and modify it form the node or with the Asset Editor. Alternatively, use your own materials from previous projects or just employ the vast material library directly.
Customizable lighting
Utilize V-Ray lights and customize them to move from realistic to stylized. Easily add numerous light sources to find your models’ best appearance.
Animations
Create, render and export animation sequences right in Grasshopper. Animate the movement of the sun or the camera by employing the V-Ray Graph and Timeline components.
Cameras
Use the V-Ray Camera component to simulate physical camera settings like aperture, shutter speed and ISO. Take advantage of Orthographic or Stereo camera parameters to facilitate your workflow.
Clipper
Render cross sections or fast cutaways right in Grasshopper. Convert custom meshes to clippers for render time Boolean effects.
Scattering
Create a realistically distributed entourage in Grasshopper that materializes in Rhino only after you’re started rendering.
Lighting analysis
Perform a light intensity evaluation of your project and visualize the results on your render.
Lighting
Light Gen
Explore the best lighting for your scene without the need for manual setup. Automatically generate hundreds of natural light versions for your exterior or interior.
Light mixing
Easily fine-tune any light source in your scene after you’re done rendering. Group them, adjust their brightness and color, and create your best presentation.
Light instances
Lights can be instanced and controlled as a single light in the Asset Editor.
Global Illumination
Render realistic rooms and interiors with V-Ray’s powerful and fast global illumination.
Accurate lights
Render natural and artificial lighting with a wide range of built-in light types. Adaptive Lights mode helps you substantially speed up render times in scenes with many light sources.
Image based lighting
Light your scenes with a single high-dynamic-range image (HDRI) to render faster, cleaner and more accurate image-based lighting. Use the Adaptive Dome Light and remove the need to set up Portal lights for interiors.
Sun & Sky
Render realistic daylight for any time and any location. Visualize stunning sunsets and sunrises, and control the sun’s position for maximum artistic effect.
Lighting analysis tool
This tool makes it easy to to visualize the real-world illumination (Lux) values of any scene.
UI
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.
Color picker
A powerful color picker, which provides RGB color values and a corresponding Kelvin temperature slider, allows you to save and modify temperature values for every color slot.
Frame Buffer
Completely redesigned Frame Buffer upgraded to intuitively handle post-processing tasks like color corrections and compositing among other improvements.
Accurate viewport previews
Get an accurate preview of your materials in the Rhino viewport with improved reflections, refractions, bump maps and more.
Power up with scripts
Use RhinoScript and Python to program V-Ray Next to do even more for you, like automating scene management or accessing parameters not shown in the UI.
