V-Ray for Revit 2023

V-Ray for Revit is widely recognized for its ability to produce highly realistic architectural renderings. Its seamless integration allows users to work directly within the Revit environment, and its innovative features enable advanced visualization without modifying the original BIM data. Whether in the early stages of design or finalizing the project, Chaos V-Ray provides a comprehensive set of tools to effectively visualize your Revit projects.

Key features

chaos phoenix

Real-time rendering

With V-Ray Vision, you get real-time high-quality visual feedback of your model as you build it. Additionally, you can easily export images or 360 panoramas. Materials, cameras and lighting set up in V-Ray Vision can easily be scaled to photorealism.

CPU, GPU & Hybrid rendering

V-Ray comes with two powerful rendering engines. You can choose between super-fast GPU and CPU or Hybrid rendering to best suit your project needs and requirements.

chaos phoenix

Denoiser

The NVIDIA AI Denoiser uses artificial intelligence to remove noise in an instant. And the V-Ray Denoiser supports denoising individual render channels to simplify compositing.

chaos phoenix

Interactive rendering

Render interactively while you design. Fine-tune lights, materials and cameras and see the results right away.

chaos phoenix

Chaos Cloud

Rendering on the Cloud is just one click away.

Choose from many unique beauty, utility and matte passes to give you more control over your rendered images in compositing.

chaos phoenix

Scene Intelligence

Automatically analyzes your scene to optimize rendering so you get the best quality in less time.

chaos phoenix

Settings management

Set up individual lighting, mood, and composition per view in the same Revit model. Easily share render settings across teams and projects.

chaos phoenix

Batch rendering

Leave V-Ray to render your project images while you are away. Batch rendering helps you schedule multiple views for rendering with a click of a button.

chaos phoenix

Sun animation

V-Ray adds extra realism to Revit’s Solar Study. Explore and visualize the impact of natural light and shadows on your designs across a variety of timespans.

User interface

chaos phoenix

Seamless integration

V-Ray naturally fits into Revit's UI and complements your Revit workflow without altering your BIM database.

chaos phoenix

Asset Editor

Create, edit, save and manage your V-Ray materials all in one place with the Asset Editor. Assign materials to a new proxy object, save it in the Editor and reuse this configuration in any project.

chaos phoenix

Appearance Manager

Take your Revit renders to the next level. With the Appearance Manager, you can set basic Revit assets to automatically switch to more realistic V-Ray assets at render time.

chaos phoenix

Frame Buffer

Track history of your rendered images, fine-tune their color parameters and save them directly to your Revit project. Use the new layer-based compositor to do color corrections of final renders and save your presets for future projects.

Lighting

chaos phoenix

Accurate lighting

Simulate any type of natural, artificial, or image-based lighting.V-Ray automatically converts all Revit lights to V-Ray ones and further extends Revit's lighting capabilities.

chaos phoenix

Light mixing

Experiment and adjust your model’s lighting after you have rendered. Tweak the brightness and color of individual or groups of light sources to find the best rendition for your space.

chaos phoenix

Adaptive lights

This lighting algorithm dramatically speeds up rendering in scenes containing many lights. And you can render image-based lighting much faster with the new Adaptive Dome Light. It’s exceptionally quick for interiors and substantially speeds up your rendering.

chaos phoenix

Lighting analysis

Easily visualize real-world illumination values (lux) with the new Lighting Analysis render element.

chaos phoenix

Sun & Sky

Take advantage of our improved sky model to present your design in its best light when the sun is at the horizon. Alternatively, use the sky generation parameters for full creative control.

chaos phoenix

Global Illumination

Render photorealistic rooms and interiors with powerful and fast global illumination.

Camera

chaos phoenix

Real-world cameras

Work like a photographer, with controls for exposure, white balance, depth of field and more.

chaos phoenix

Automatic exposure & white balance

Capture the perfect exposure every time. The new Auto Exposure and Auto White Balance camera controls make rendering as simple as point and shoot.

chaos phoenix

Lens effects

Add that extra touch of photorealism with real-world camera lens effects such as bloom and glare.

chaos phoenix

Virtual Reality

Experience your designs at 1:1 scale. Create content for popular VR headsets with 6x1 cubic and spherical stereo camera types.

Materials and textures

chaos phoenix

Physical materials

Create great looking materials that look exactly like the real thing.

chaos phoenix

Material library

Download over 500 4K-quality architectural materials from our library on demand. Glass, metal, wood — any texture you need for your model is available and render-ready.

chaos phoenix

Native materials support

Render an enhanced version of your Revit materials automatically.

chaos phoenix

Decals

Add images to paintings, signs, screens and more. V-Ray for Revit has full support for Revit Decals.

chaos phoenix

Contours

Give your model a sketch-like look. Use the global contour settings to create every outline automatically or the Contour material attribute to highlight a certain region.

chaos phoenix

Coat & Sheen materials

Use these two new layers to add distinct effects to V-Ray materials. The Coat layer creates polished surfaces while the Sheen layer is perfect for realistic fabrics such as silk or velvet.

chaos phoenix

Randomizer

Use the UVW Randomization asset to create realistic materials by randomizing patterns and colors. The Stochastic Tiling functionality removes texture tiling seams.

chaos phoenix

Weathering and dirt

Easily add weathering effects to any surface of your model with the V-Ray Dirt texture with complete control over its position and amount.

chaos phoenix

Metalness

The V-Ray Material adds native support for metallic reflections (Metalness) for greater compatibility with PBR materials from applications like Substance Designer.

chaos phoenix

Texture maps

Create realistic and unique shaders using any texture map or one of V-Ray’s many built-in procedural textures - Gradient, Temperature, Tri-Planar, etc.

chaos phoenix

Material overrides

Make the most out of your early designs and get a feel of your project by quickly rendering cardboard models.

chaos phoenix
