V-Ray for 3D Design Professionals

Chaos V-Ray for SketchUp

Unleash Photorealistic Rendering within Your Design Workflow

Chaos V-Ray for SketchUp is the industry-standard rendering plugin that transforms your SketchUp models into stunning, photorealistic images and animations. Seamlessly integrated directly within the SketchUp interface, V-Ray empowers architects, interior designers, landscape architects, and other SketchUp users to achieve professional-grade visualizations without leaving their familiar design environment.

V-Ray for SketchUp empowers design professionals to:

Render Photorealistic Designs: Turn your SketchUp models into lifelike scenes with physically based lighting, materials, and atmospheric effects. Create compelling visuals that accurately represent textures, reflections, and illumination, crucial for client presentations and design reviews.
Intuitive Workflow Integration: Work directly within SketchUp’s familiar interface. V-Ray for SketchUp is designed for designers, making complex rendering powerful yet accessible, allowing you to focus on your creative vision rather than intricate render settings.
Access a Smart Asset Library (Chaos Cosmos): Populate your scenes quickly with thousands of high-quality, render-ready 3D content, including furniture, vegetation, people, and HDRIs, directly from the Chaos Cosmos asset library. This saves valuable modeling time and enhances realism.
Harness Powerful Lighting Tools: Easily set up and control natural and artificial lighting to convey mood, emphasize design features, and accurately simulate real-world conditions. Experiment with various lighting scenarios to achieve the perfect ambiance.
Utilize a Robust Material System: Apply an extensive library of realistic V-Ray materials directly to your SketchUp components. Create custom materials with advanced properties like translucency, displacement, and subsurface scattering to truly bring surfaces to life.
Benefit from Fast Hybrid Rendering: Accelerate your rendering process by leveraging the power of both your CPU and GPU. V-Ray for SketchUp’s hybrid rendering engine intelligently uses available hardware to deliver faster results, allowing for quicker iterations and more efficient workflows.
