V-Ray has changed the face of computer graphics. Offering state-of-the-art rendering technology, V-Ray powers the most advanced photo-realistic images being generated today.
V-Ray has single-handedly changed the face of Architectural
Visualization. Neoscape has been using it in production since its very
first release, and we continue to use it in all of our work. It is full
of relevant and robust features, while remaining speedy and easy to use.
I can not imagine working without it.
Lon Grohs
Principal/Creative Director
Neoscape, Inc. V-Ray never ceases to amaze me. It's brilliant
output is somehow matched by very efficient rendering speeds. The
ability to control minute details of sampling allow the user to optimize
scenes to degrees that other renderers pale in comparison on. The
amazing support for additional channel data via OpenEXR is also
unprecedented. The shading system is straightforward and easy to get
into. We can generally teach new artists the VRay setups within a week
or so and they are very productive immediately. The support from the
development team is so fantastic that there should be some kind of gold
medal handed out for it. Very quick responses on bugs and even sometimes
features. VRay continues to be a very integral part of a very tuned
pipeline that is geared especially towards photographic reality.
Robert Nederhorst
VFX Supervisor
SpeedShape, Santa Monica I’ve been using V-Ray since 2001
working in Film, TV, Commercials, and since that time it’s the only
render engine I have ever needed or wanted to use. V-Ray’s ease of use
and speed, coupled with its innovative approach to high end features
like Global Illumination, Physically accurate Image based lighting and
shaders, makes it the best render solution out there on any platform.
