Chaos has releasedV-Ray 6 for SketchUp Update 1.1, the latest version of the renderer. The update extends the Enmesh-to-V-Ray bridge, and adds support for cylindrical projection in V-Ray Decal, and for rendering cutaway images in V-Ray GPU using V'Ray's Clipper object.

The new version was released alongside V-Ray 6 for Rhino Update 1, which has similar new features.

Updates to the Enscape bridge and procedural clouds system added in V-Ray 6 for SketchUp

The update extends several of the new features introduced in V-Ray 6 for SketchUp last year, notably the new bridge from Enscape to V-Ray. The bridge makes it possible to transfer scenes from Enscape, the real-time renderer with whose developer Chaos merged last year, to V-Ray for final-quality rendering. To that, Update 1 adds the option to transfer "some of Enscape's visual settings" to V-Ray, including Sunlight, Sky and Camera Exposure parameters, to help match the looks of renders. The bridge also now supports Linked Models and the new customisable stock assets introduced in Enscape 3.5 last month. There are also a number of performance improvements and bugfixes, including a fix for an issue with normal maps that resolves "many visual artifacts" when rendering Enscape materials. The procedural clouds system introduced in V-Ray 6 for SketchUp has also been updated, with the default settings now resulting in clouds visually similar to those in Enscape. The update also adds new settings for generating contrails.

V-Ray for SketchUp - Adding realistic stickers and labels to curved objects

In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to add realistic stickers to curved objects and blend surface and decal bumps. Discover how to leverage the cylindrical projection and additive bump options within V-Ray Decal to achieve impressive results with ease.

Updates to V-Ray Decal, the VFB and V-Ray GPU

Decal projection system V-Ray Decal gets support for the Bend function, for cylindrical mapping onto curved surfaces like cans, plus support for bump and displacement mapping. The V-Ray Frame Buffer (VFB) gets support for masking for Lens Effects and Denoiser layers, and for separate colour transformations to the Background layer. In addition, hybrid renderer V-Ray GPU now supports the Clipper object for rendering cutaway images.

Support for more native SketchUp features, plus updates to Chaos Cosmos

Changes unique to the SketchUp edition of V-Ray include support for SketchUp section plane transitions (on Windows only) when rendering animations, along with object and tag visibility states. Outside the core software, online asset library Chaos Cosmos, available with all V-Ray subscriptions, now includes assets using V-Ray's new Enmesh geometry replication system.

Improvements and bugfixes

- The procedural Sky Contrails can now be animated. Ensure that the Dynamic Clouds option is enabled in the Sun light source

- An issue causing specific adjustable Enscape asset to not be rendered correctly in V-Ray is resolved

- All helper textures are now colorized based on the SketchUp-side material color

- An issue that prevents the rendering of Fur assets mapped with a Distance texture in specific situations is resolved

- Converting SketchUp materials to V-Ray ones during interactive rendering now produces accurate results

- The camera position is now always updated correctly during viewport rendering with the Overlays in SketchUp 2023

- An issue causing the viewport rendering overlay to stop working after starting and stopping the interactive process multiple times is resolved

- An issue causing SketchUp 2023 to hang when closed while the interactive rendering process is still running is resolved

- An issue causing the top parts of a Proxy Mesh to not appear when used as an Enmesh module is resolved

- An issue causing the VFB window to sink behind SketchUp on Windows is resolved

- An issue preventing SketchUp's texture colorization feature from working is resolved

- An issue with incorrectly constructed paths in custom Enscape asset files is resolved

- An issue leading to a crash when aborting the render process in specific projects is resolved

- macOS: Parent Frame Buffer option is implemented. It is located in Extensions / V-Ray / Preferences / Parent Frame Buffer. The option is enabled by default, which ensures that the V-Ray Frame buffer window stays on top of the SketchUp window. The new option can be disabled in situations when the default parenting causes issues. One such example is viewing the VFB on a secondary display

- macOS: Applying the Enscape settings no longer leads to a crash

- macOS: The V-Ray for SketchUp installer is now universal and does not require Rosetta 2 to be installed on ARM-based systems

- macOS: An issue leading to a crash when interactive render is started before initializing V-Ray in SketchUp 2023 is resolved

- The automatic user interface generation for non-native V-Ray materials and textures, lights and other special objects is improved. In the common case such items are imported from a vrscene file created in a different V-Ray integration (V-Ray for 3ds Max for example). There are no longer errors displayed in the user interface or in the log window

- An issue causing the asset preview of auto-generated Assets to hang is resolved

- The user interface of the Multi-Sub Texture is updated. The random variation modes are moved outside the 'Get ID from' menu and presented as checkboxes. As a result multiple random ID sources can now be activated simultaneously

- Contrails Pace (%) parameter added to the Sun light. It controls the speed at which jets move across the sky.

- The value of the internal Low Thread Priority parameter is now set to 2. This applies to both new and existing projects. The new value ensures there is no delay when zooming in the VFB during bucket rendering

- A new, more optimized file format is internally used when submitting projects for Cloud rendering

- Warning messages are no longer logged when opening the Asset Editor for the first time

- An issue leading to unintended collapse or expansion of the tag sections during tag renaming is resolved
