    V-Ray is a biased computer-generated imagery rendering software application developed by Bulgarian software company Chaos. V-Ray is a commercial plug-in for third-party 3D computer graphics software applications and is used for visualizations and computer graphics in industries such as media, entertainment, film and video game production, industrial design, product design and architecture.[1]

    Overview

    [edit | edit source]

    V-Ray is a rendering engine that uses global illumination algorithms, including path tracing, photon mapping, irradiance maps and directly computed global illumination.

    The desktop 3D applications that are supported by V-Ray are:

    Academic and stand-alone versions of V-Ray are also available.

    Modo support was discontinued at the end of 2021.[3]
