V-Ray for Unreal

V-Ray for Unreal introduces the fastest, simplest way for architects, product designers and pre-vis specialists to bring V-Ray scenes into real-time and render ray-traced images directly from Unreal Engine, supporting both V-Ray scenes and native Unreal Engine scenes.

It is a plug-in for Unreal Engine that allows you to import your V-Ray scenes from 3ds Max, Maya, and SketchUp directly to Unreal Engine for rendering. V-Ray for Unreal maintains data consistency and your original materials from V-Ray for 3ds Max, Maya and SketchUp remain connected to their real-time versions and are called up when you’re ready to render. V-Ray for Unreal can also be used for light baking and for rendering of native Unreal scenes or of 3rd party data that has been imported to Unreal Engine with Epic’s own Datasmith.
