You can find more details in the online documentation. V-Ray Vision is still early in development: in the initial release, it runs on Windows only, and there are “many unsupported V-Ray features and effects”. However, Chaos Group says that it can also be used for rendering panoramas or animations in its own right, if you don’t mind the drop in image quality: it uses rasterisation, not ray tracing. It’s intended primarily for exploring scenes, providing a quick way to scout camera positions from which to launch final-quality renders using V-Ray’s standard render engines. More interestingly, SketchUp users also get some unique features of their own: notably, V-Ray Vision, a work-in-progress new real-time rendering mode.

We covered the core features when V-Ray 5 for 3ds Max was released, so check out this story for details. The release also ships with the updated material library, which includes over 500 presets representing common architectural materials like metals, glass and wood. SketchUp users also get the new material features in V-Ray 5, including new coat and sheen materials in the standard V-Ray Material, new texture randomisation options, and updates to V-Ray Dirt.
The update also introduces a new Sun and Sky model, which generates more physically accurate results than its predecessor, particularly when the sun is close to the horizon. Key changes include built-in layer-based compositing in the V-Ray Frame Buffer (VFB), and Light Mix, a Corona-Renderer-style system to adjust the intensity of lights in images without the need to re-render them. SketchUp is the latest host application to be updated to the new V-Ray 5 architecture, following the releases of V-Ray 5 for 3ds Max and V-Ray 5 for Maya earlier this year. V-Ray 5 core features: compositing in the VFB, Light Mix and new materials options Unique features include V-Ray Vision, a new real-time rasterisation-based render mode for exploring SketchUp scenes, and Light Gen, an automated system for rendering lighting variations of a scene. The update makes the key features from other editions of V-Ray 5 available in SketchUp, including compositing in the V-Ray frame buffer, the Light Mix system, and new materials options.
