Chaos has released V-Ray for Blender, Update 3 (V-Ray 7.30.20 for Blender), the latest update to the new version of its ray tracing renderer for Blender.<\/p>\n

The release makes the software available for Linux as well as Windows and macOS, adds support for AMD GPU rendering, and introduces a V-Ray version of Blender\u2019s Node Wrangler.<\/p>\n

A new edition of V-Ray integrated directly inside Blender<\/strong>
Released last year, V-Ray 7 for Blender makes it possible for Blender users to render with V-Ray from the current version of the open-source 3D software.<\/p>\n

Unlike the legacy plugin, which exported scenes to V-Ray Standalone, it integrates V-Ray directly inside Blender, with V-Ray available for interactive rendering in the 3D viewport.<\/p>\n

Since then, Chaos has also released the free V-Ray for Blender Community Edition, which can be used on commercial projects, with some workflow restrictions.<\/p>\n

Now supports Linux, and GPU rendering on AMD GPUs<\/strong>
V-Ray for Blender, Update 3 (it\u2019s actually version 7.30.20, since version 7.3 was the Community Edition itself) features a number of major structural changes.<\/p>\n

For a significant minority of users, the biggest will simply be that the software now runs on their system: V-Ray for Blender now supports Linux, as well as Windows and macOS.<\/p>\n

In addition, V-Ray GPU, the software\u2019s hybrid GPU\/CPU render engine, now supports AMD GPUs as well as NVIDIA and Apple Silicon processors.<\/p>\n

That makes Blender the second edition of V-Ray to support AMD GPU rendering, Chaos having rolled out the functionality earlier this year in V-Ray for 3ds Max.<\/p>\n

New features: parallax interiors and a native Node Wrangler<\/strong>
New features include support for parallax interiors, making it possible to add the illusion of interior depth to rendered buildings without the need to create any actual internal geometry.<\/p>\n

When applied to a window on the exterior facade of a bulding, the new Parallax texture gives the illusion of a 3D interior behind it.<\/p>\n

Workflow improvements include the…<\/p>\n
