![]() Indeed the Chaos Group has some stiff competition from the likes of Next Limit (Maxwell), LumenRT by e-on software, Indigo Renderer and others. By no means is the Chaos Group alone in photorealistic rendering space for SketchUp plugins. As a plugin for SketchUp 2013, version 7 and version 8, this puts it in good company with many other rendering plugins for this popular modeling application. V-Ray 2.0 for SketchUp has an estimated retail price of 800.USD. There is no limitation on cores or memory on these ten machines. You get 10 slave render machine licenses so you can install just the rendering engines to available CPUs that you have around on your network. ![]() V-Ray 2.0 for SketchUp includes both V-Ray RT technology with both CPU and GPU based acceleration–depending on your graphics support–and distributed rendering licenses. “We want people to look at these images that come out of SketchUp with V-Ray and completely question if they were actually made with these tools together,” said Lon Grohs. “We are producing HTML based tutorials as well as video tutorials.” There is clearly a focus on integrating the ethos of SketchUp, and not just the technologies, together with that of V-Ray. “A major focus of this release is on learning,” said Lon Grohs, vice president of business development. The Chaos Group has really thought deeply about the SketchUP user as a type of user distinct from many other 3D artists and designers. Displacement is actually a change in geometry deformation…so you get the nuances of little shadows, if you will, that you don’t get with a bump mapping effect.” “And in this version we have faster displacement mapping. “We brought this over from 3ds Max,” noted Rubadue. And BRDF materials are now in this version for SketchUp. Both simplifications and streamlining now make it easier to perform common tasks. ![]() The Material Editor has been enhanced in V-Ray 2.0 for SketchUp, in many ways. 05 – Gensler is a major customer of V-Ray technology, including for SketchUp.
