V-Ray 5 Trial: New Features and Improvements

The latest trial version of V-Ray 5 brings a slew of new features and improvements that will make your rendering workflow more efficient and reliable. One of the most notable changes is the ability to manually delete redundant clipper components, which won't affect the way your scene is rendered.

In addition, scenes saved with previous versions of V-Ray are no longer automatically migrated, so you'll need to import them manually. However, this change also means that you can start fresh with a new project and take advantage of all the latest features and improvements.

Other issues have also been resolved in this update, including:

* Incorrect clipper component definitions being created when adding a SketchUp section plane while V-Ray is active

* Crashes caused by changing camera types during interactive GPU rendering

* Crashes caused by changing image sizes during interactive rendering in SketchUp 2022

* A hang caused by jumping between scenes with different shadow settings during interactive rendering on macOS systems

The update also resolves an issue that prevented rendering from starting while the asset preview was running, and fixes a problem with V-Ray render processes fighting over the render license on Apple M1 systems.

Additionally, the Intel Open Image denoiser engine has been updated to its latest version and is now compatible with Apple M1 devices. The Chaos License Server has also been updated to version 5.5.5.

Other notable improvements include:

* The GPU Light Cache preview no longer goes missing when rendering an image larger than 4040 pixels squared

* Adaptive Bucket Splitting, a new method for adapting the render bucket size for optimal utilization, is now enabled by default for both new and old projects

Finally, V-Ray Swarm has been updated to version 1.4.7.

Overall, these updates and improvements will make it easier to work with V-Ray 5 and take advantage of its powerful rendering capabilities. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting out, this trial version is definitely worth checking out.
