V-Ray 5.1 now also lets you submit multiple cameras into the cloud rather than one by one, again easing and speeding up workflow. The Camera Lister is new in 5.1 and does what it says: it lists all the cameras in your scene and lets you edit them from there. The masks can be applied to materials, layers and folders, turning the VFB into a mini-compositing app, reducing your time spent in Photoshop (opens in new tab) for final tweaks and looks. This is easily one of my new favourite features. You can now use the Crypto and Multimatte as well as Material IDs and similar elements for masking in the VFB.

All files required by the OSL compiler are now included in the V-Ray’s installation folder.Chaos Cosmos offers easy assets across the version board with HDRs included (Image credit: Chaos Group)Īnother step in making compositing easier is 5.1's new ability to use any of V-Ray's Render Elements for masking.Proxy Meshes, Proxy Scenes as well as Cosmos asset previews are now generated significantly faster A number of issues preventing V-Ray for SketchUp from installing properly are resolved.
