V-Ray Scene Intelligence automatically analyzes a 3D scene at the start of a render to automate and optimize many common decisions a designer would make. A new feature, V-Ray Scene Intelligence, also contributes to performance improvements. Improvements to GPU (graphics processing unit) rendering offer another 200% increase in speed, depending on the GPU and the workstation. Chaos Group says material optimization allows rendering speeds to be up to 50% faster than the previous version of V-Ray. Several enhancements to V-Ray Next directly affect how fast it creates photorealistic renderings. Chaos Group has introduced V-Ray Next for Rhino, calling it “the first smart renderer made for designers.” A variety of new tools expand the core capabilities of Robert McNeel & Associates' Rhino and Grasshopper, linking photorealistic rendering, scene intelligence and asset management, while providing a central workflow hub for the design/visualization experience.
