This new system is not just faster, it is memory efficient and capable of creating dynamic timelapse presentations and streaming streaks of sunlight. V-Ray 6 for SketchUp and Rhino/Grasshopper also includes a new Bridge between Enscape and V-Ray, thereby allowing architects to develop their designs with Enscape technology and push those forward to visualization experts in V-Ray. “With this new bridge, an architect’s design can continue to be iterated on with every nuance intact, removing the open questions that slow teams down.” Real-Time to PhotorealĮnscape projects can now be rendered and edited in V-Ray 6 when they need to be pushed to the highest levels of photorealism. “When applications don’t talk to each other, design intent can quickly get lost as a project moves from schematic to marketing,” said Konstantin Gaytandzhiev, V-Ray for Rhino and SketchUp product manager at Chaos. With their corporate mergers (Enscape and Chaos) well in the review-view mirror, it was inevitable that a connection between Enscape and the V-Ray technology pipelines would and should occur. Still, simultaneously, architects have flocked to a new range of easy-to-use visualization tools such as Germany’s Enscape arch-viz platform.

V-Ray is where the leading edge in architectural visualization has existed for quite some time. Architects can now finally deliver complete design intent that the visualization team can immediately build upon with no “do-over” work required.

A key new component in both is new Enscape compatibility. This month Chaos announced V-Ray 6 for SketchUp and V-Ray 6 for Rhino/Grasshopper.
