Beta release Date  - 7 June, 2022 Release Notes:  V-Ray 6, Beta      Go anywhere your creative instincts take you and build anything imaginable — faster than ever before.   Quickly and easily create anything from vast, complex environments to intricate geometric patterns. Shade faster, create even more physically accurate materials. And, when you’re ready, fast-forward your collaboration, reviews and approvals — all in one place. And much more! Build worlds / Create worlds Create anything imaginable with new tools, allowing you to quickly and easily build worlds - without limits. Chaos Scatter Create forests, fields, crowds, and more using our new scatter tool. It's fast, easy, and it lets you add lots of detail to your scene without using lots of memory. Download one of our  free scatter presets  from Chaos Cosmos to get started. See  Chaos Scatter V-Ray Enmesh With Enmesh, you can think of geometry like a texture — but rather than repeating an image over a surface, it uses tileable geometry. Enmesh is ideal for creating patterns such as fences and fabrics, and it uses much less memory than displacement or copying by hand. See  VRayEnmeshMod V-Ray Decal with Displacement You can now use V-Ray Decal to add displacement to any surface for even more realistic cracked walls, rocks, embossed lettering, and more. See  VRayDecal V-Ray Proxy Object Hierarchy Easily turn on or off an individual object’s visibility or material override with the new V-Ray Proxy hierarchical view. Set custom order by name, and streamline your geometry exchange and custom library workflows. See  VRayProxy Collaborate as you create Fast-forward your project’s reviews and approvals. Chaos Cloud Collaboration Get rapid, consolidated feedback on your work’s progress. Upload your renders to Chaos Cloud Collaboration right from V-Ray’s Frame Buffer, and share your work with colleagues and clients to add comments and annotations. Streamline your workflow. Get the job done faster and save time to be creative. Procedural clouds Craft just the right cloudy sky for your environment in just a few clicks with V-Ray’s new procedural clouds system.
