V-Ray for Nuke

V-Ray for Nuke’s approach to lighting and compositing integrates production quality ray traced rendering into Nuke and Nukex. V-Ray’s industry standard ray traced renderer inside Nuke’s industry standard compositing package gives artists the best of both worlds.

WORKSTATION LICENSES

KEY FEATURES

• NEW HAIR WORKFLOWS

  For the first time, render complete 3D creatures and characters directly in Nuke. Import hair geometry using V-Ray proxy objects, and assign V-Ray Hair material for optimized shading. For even more control, use the new V-Ray Hair Sampler node with the V-Ray Ramp texture to add randomization and color variation.



• NODE-BASED INTEGRATION

  With a full suite of advanced rendering tools and support for Nuke’s native features, V-Ray for Nuke is a natural evolution of the compositing workflow.



• PROGRESSIVE RENDERING

  Progressive rendering to help you fine-tune the look of your renders faster than ever. As you make adjustments to your scene, your rendering will update automatically, taking full advantage of your hardware — including GPU acceleration.



• POWERFUL RAY TRACED RENDERING

  V-Ray for Nuke brings powerful adaptive ray traced rendering to any compositing pipeline. It’s the most full-featured rendering solution for Nuke, NukeX and Nuke Studio.



• PROXY OBJECTS

  Import and render memory-efficient proxy objects as Alembic or V-Ray mesh files.



• DEEP RENDERING

  Improved deep rendering capabilities with support for deep volumes. Save disk space by generating deep data directly inside Nuke.



• V-RAY VOLUME GRID

  Import and render volume simulations from applications like Houdini. Supports OpenVDB, Field3D and Phoenix FD files.



• GLOBAL ILLUMINATION

  Render accurate indirect illumination with V-Ray’s precise ray traced GI. Now with light cache support.



• PHYSICALLY-BASED MATERIALS

  Create multilayered physical materials directly in Nuke. Choose from purpose-built shaders for car paint, SSS, skin and more.



• RENDER ELEMENTS

  Generate beauty, matte and utility passes on the fly. V-Ray for Nuke includes more than 37 built-in render elements for ultimate control.



• CRYPTOMATTE

  Automatically generate ID mattes with support for transparency, depth of field and motion blur, speeding up workflows for compositors.



• DENOISER

  Automatically reduce noise for cleaner renders. Denoise individual render elements, apply noise masks and denoise final deep composites.
