High quality and very complete rendering plugin for SketchUp Pro and Studio. VRAY 6 for SketchUp is the finest and highest quality rendering solution for SketchUp. It provides all the lighting and rendering tools you need to create professional and photorealistic images and animations.

Features

• NEW in v6: Direct exchange between V-Ray & Enscape
  With V-Ray 6, directly convert real-time scenes from Enscape and make them as photorealistic as possible. Because Enscape supports materials, objects and light, all design decisions are preserved during the various design stages. This ensures smooth collaboration between designers and visualization experts.
• NEW in v6: Procedural clouds.
  Add an appropriate cloud sky to any scene without spending hours browsing through HDRI libraries. The new procedural cloud system is a flexible and memory-efficient way to create any type of cloud sky and animate it for impressive timelapse presentations.
• NEW in v6: V-Ray Enmesh
  Create complex geometric patterns on object surfaces to create e.g. panels, fences and fabrics in an automated and memory-efficient way.
• NEW in v6: Finish dome light
  Refine scale and add depth to project environments when using (image-based) lighting with the new V-Ray Dome Light mode.
• NEW in v6: Distance texture
  Vary effects such as displacement or procedural coats based on proximity for realistic correlation between elements in a scene. Create a well-traveled path through a lawn or form dark patches under drainpipes.
• NEW in v6: Iridescent materials
  Create iridescent materials such as soap bubbles and oil stains more easily with the new "Thin Film" option.
• NEW in v6: Asset tags
  Group assets using the new tag system in the Asset Editor to improve the organization of scenes in complex projects.
• NEW in v6: ACEScg color management
  Take advantage of a wider color palette for performing renders with industry-standard ACEScg color coding.
• Chaos Cosmos object library.
  The new 3D content library, Chaos Cosmos,offers a variety of elements from categories such as people, vehicles, plants, furniture and accessories. With it, users can beautify any interior or exterior and don't have to spend time on geometry optimization or setting materials - the Cosmos assets are always render-ready and deliver high-quality results.
• V-Ray Vision
  Visualize your designs instantly in real-time as you work through in SketchUp. Navigate around your model, add materials, set lights and cameras - all in a real-time view of your scene.
• Light Mix
  Once your render is complete, you can interactively change the brightness and color of each light - without having to re-render!
• Light Gen Tool
  Adjust the lighting by simply choosing one of the automatically generated thumbnails. The thumbnails are rendered in a number of scenarios based on ambient light. Choose and you're ready to render.
• Direct Post-Processing in V-Ray
  V-Ray Frame Buffer with built-in compositing, so you can make color corrections, combine render elements and save them as presets to use in the future - all without needing another application.
• User Interface
  A design-friendly user interface for faster workflows.
• Material library
  More than 200 materials (drag-and-drop) to speed up your next projects.
• V-Ray Swarm
  A new and scalable distributed rendering system that allows multiple computers within the network to collaborate on a rendering via a web-based interface.
• Denoiser
  Automatically removes noise and provides up to 50% faster rendering times.
• VR with one click
  Render VR content for popular virtual reality headsets.
• Cross sections
  Create easy and fast cross-sectional renderings with V-Ray Clipper.
• Aerial Perspective
  Add realistic, atmospheric depth with aerial perspective and ambient fog.
• Grass
  Create realistic grass, fabrics and rugs with V-Ray Fur.
• Dual Performance
  V-Ray includes two powerful rendering engines. With CPU or GPU acceleration, you can choose the best engine for your project and hardware.
• Interactive Rendering
  Render interactively as you design. Finetune lights and materials and instantly see the result in the real-time preview.
• Global Illumination
  Render photorealistic rooms and interiors with V-Ray's powerful and fast global illumination.
• Accurate Lighting
  Render natural and artificial lighting using a wide range of built-in light types.
• Ambient Lighting
  Illuminate your scenes with an HDRI image or its surroundings.
• Realistic Sun & Sky
  Simulate realistic daylight for any time of day and location.
• Photographic Cameras
  Work like a photographer with control over exposure, white balance, depth of field and more.
• Natural Materials
  Create beautiful materials that look just like the real thing.
• Advanced Textures
  Create realistic and unique materials by using a texture map or one of V-Ray's many procedural textures.
• Proxy Objects
  Add more detail to your project with simple, memory-efficient proxies of complex objects such as trees, grass, cars and more.
• Render Elements
  Render your scene as separate passages for more artistic control in your photo editing software.
• Frame Buffer
  Keep track of render history and fine-tune color, exposure and more directly in V-Ray's frame buffer.
• Network Rendering
  Use the full processing power of your network to render one or more images

Featured Chaos Cosmos

Chaos Cosmos is a comprehensive library of hundreds of render-ready 3D assets. Users can effortlessly create lifelike context for the interior and exterior of their model by adding high-quality objects from essential categories, such as furniture, accessories, lighting, vegetation, vehicles and people.

Searching the objects is easy via the Cosmos browser. The objects are easily placed in the 3D design environment and therefore visible in any viewport. The Cosmos assets are render-ready (material geometry optimization is thus not required) and offer high-quality results with V-Ray, V-Ray GPU, V-Ray Vision and Chaos Vantage
