<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>“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 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."</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><strong><span>Real-Time to Photoreal</span></strong></p>
<p><span>The most powerful visualization workflow in AEC is now surprisingly simple. Enscape projects can now be rendered/edited in V-Ray 6 when they need to be pushed to the highest levels of photorealism. With support for Enscape materials, environments, lights and compatible 3D assets, V-Ray 6 ensures that all design decisions are kept throughout the project development stages, creating an unbroken chain between designers and V-Ray specialists.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><strong><span>Procedural Clouds</span></strong></p>
<p><span>V-Ray users can also use Enscape technology as part of the new Procedural Cloud system. Instead of spending hours browsing through HDRI libraries, artists can easily simulate a variety of cloud types and weather conditions, from partly cloudy to overcast. This new system is not only memory efficient, it’s an unbeatable way to create dynamic timelapse presentations and streaming streaks of sunlight.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><strong><span>V-Ray Enmesh</span></strong></p>
<p><span>With this powerful new tool, complex geometric patterns can be quickly created over object surfaces to make detailed panels, fences, fabrics and more in an automated and memory-efficient way.</span></p>

<p><em>Live Real-Time Visualization Provides Immediate Feedback, Speeding Up Design Iterations Before the Final Render</em></p>
<p><br/><strong>LOS ANGELES, Calif.</strong> – November 19, 2020 – Today, <a href="https://www.chaosgroup.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chaos Group</a> released <a href="https://www.chaosgroup.com/vray/rhino" target="_blank" rel="noopener">V-Ray 5 for Rhino</a>, a powerful new update that brings real-time rendering into Rhino and Grasshopper. Designers can now use visualization in every part of the design process, from initial concepts to final renders, all within V-Ray for Rhino.</p>
<p><br/><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Real-Time Visualization with V-Ray Vision</strong></span></p>
<p><br/>V-Ray Vision is a live scene viewer that updates in real-time, allowing Rhino and Grasshopper users to build models, apply materials and set up lights and cameras with immediate feedback. Encouraging fast, fluid design visualization throughout a project, V-Ray Vision helps users work through new ideas and client feedback from start to finish, with the ability to quickly snapshot images or output animation at any time. </p>
<p><br/><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Automatic Scene Lighting</strong></span></p>
<p><br/>With the new Light Gen tool, a variety of lighting options are generated automatically and displayed as a series of thumbnails, making it easier to find the best look and mood for a scene. Light Gen produces dozens of physically based lighting variations for each project using the Sun and Sky system and a wealth of included HDRI images. </p>
<p><br/><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Beyond Rendering</strong></span></p>
<p><br/>The redesigned V-Ray Frame Buffer (VFB) now includes some of V-Ray 5’s most user-friendly features, making it easy to apply finishing touches to any rendering.</p>
<p><br/>With <a href="https://www.chaosgroup.com/blog/relight-without-re-rendering-how-light-mix-works-in-v-ray-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Light Mix</a>, users can interactively change the color and brightness of any light without rendering again, creating multiple lighting scenarios from a single render. Image adjustments like exposure control, color balance and color corrections can also be added, replacing the need for external image editing tools. For extra control, render layers can be combined using the Layer Compositor to create more nuanced looks, which can be saved as presets for later use.</p>
<p><br/><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Other New Features in V-Ray 5 Include:</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Expanded Grasshopper Support</strong> – V-Ray for Grasshopper is included with V-Ray for Rhino for real-time visualization, photorealistic rendering and animation. Now for the first time, users can visualize their Grasshopper designs in real-time with the new Live Link component for V-Ray Vision.</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>High-Resolution Material Library</strong> – The popular V-Ray material library has been expanded and upgraded with V-Ray 5’s new layering controls and texture randomization features. Texture resolutions have also been increased to 4K.</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>New Sun and Sky</strong> – Improves accuracy across the board, including when the sun is near the horizon, right before sunrise and after sunset. New controls have also been added to allow users to easily customize the sun position.</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Coat Layer</strong> – Gain extra reflections on surfaces without using blend materials.</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Sheen Layer</strong> – Easily simulate fabrics like velvet, satin and silk.</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Dirt and Weathering</strong> – New controls for aging materials with procedural streaks have been added to the V-Ray Dirt Material.</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Texture Randomization</strong> – Now easier to create subtle variations in textures and materials for added realism. </li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Stochastic Texture Tiling</strong> – An automatic fix for repeating textures.</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Line Renderings</strong> – Give renders an illustrative look by adding linework with global contour controls and material overrides.</li>
</ul>

<p><span>“Designers want to work as fluidly as possible, without any roadblocks. They want to test ideas, swap materials and render concepts without getting hung up on the technical details,” said Corey Rubadue, VP of AEC and Design at Chaos Group. “Not only did we make V-Ray 3 for Rhino as fast as possible, we streamlined the entire user experience to let designers focus on what matters most to them - design.”</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>With V-Ray 3 for Rhino, users now have a complete range of photorealistic rendering tools in their design arsenal. This includes hundreds of ready-made, physical materials, a variety of realistic light types and photographic camera controls. The new VR camera is capable of rendering high-quality images that can be readily viewed on popular virtual reality headsets such as Google Cardboard, Gear VR, Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>The new and easy-to-use V-Ray Swarm distributed rendering system has also been added to dramatically speed up rendering of high-resolution images by using the power of multiple computers. V-Ray 3 for Rhino offers designers the creative freedom and versatility they need to render anything they can imagine. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>“The new V-Ray for Rhino takes me beyond the limits of my CAD platform and enables new levels of productivity and design possibilities,” said Dustin Brown, Senior Industrial Design Lead at Microsoft and owner of </span><a href="http://speckofdustin.com/" target="_blank"><span>speckofdustin.com</span></a><span>. “</span><span>Studying</span><span> materials with V-Ray is a joy. The addition of fur and the new material editor opens up even more possibilities.”</span></p>

<div style="cursor: pointer;" class="description_wrapper"><div class="description"><p class="first">Digital Media & Design Program | Gerald D Hines College of Architecture:<br/> Led by Prof. Wendy W Fok | Assistant Professor</p>
<p>The Digital Media & Design Program (DMDP), at the Gerald D Hines College of Architecture, University of Houston, functions as a program which utilizes new media and technology as a departure point to formulate and develop the function of architectural and computational design by way of emergent design systems.</p>
<p>In an era of increasing globalization, digitization, and collaboration, the function of digital and computational design has evolved into significant aspects, dynamic approaches, and vital innovations for community engagement, urban planning, architectural design, media practices, and public dialogue.</p>
<p>The DMDP embraces the research and development of innovation through a cross-hybridization of both digital and analogue tooling, techniques, and systems. Research is placed on the forefront through faculty and student projects, as well as community-engaged projects within the United States and the international design arena.</p>
<p>Responding to the increasingly important and sophisticated role of digital technology as a catalyst for integrating innovative societal, cultural, and economic change, the role of the program is two-fold, and is directed to provide a basis of both digital and analogue tooling for students, at both the undergraduate and graduate level.</p>
<p>Our courses range from a dynamic cluster of applied research based courses that involve design-build, digital fabrication, new media art installations, digital urbanism, transport and digital way-finding applications, and interdisciplinary (inter-departmental) partnerships. In addition to graduating with a Professional Architecture degree, Graduate students at the College have an opportunity to obtain a Certification of “digital systems and fabrication”, which is a deeply involved and focused research certification honored through completing several courses within the cluster of DMDP approved courses.</p>
<p>Unique to the Gerald D Hines College of Architecture program, the DMDP develops a core foundation of knowledge and projects in collaboration with the industry, and entrepreneurial operations and courses that are geared towards project incentives that equip the students to reach out into the larger regional, national, and even international community for project collaborations that are significant to the contemporary needs and future of the technologically adaptive architectural and design field.</p>
