Features include:

See Your Designs in Real-Time
Visualizing your Revit projects in real-time has never been easier. Now with V-Ray Vision, you can see your designs in real-time while you work in Revit. Move around your model, apply materials, set up lights and cameras—all with a live real-time view of your model.

Rendering That's as Real as it Gets
See exactly how your project will look. With true-to-life lights, cameras, and materials, rendering with V-Ray is as real as it gets. It's as close as you can come to the real thing before it’s built.

Bring Your Models to Life
Choose from an array of high-quality 3D assets—including detailed models of furniture, trees, cars, and people—to bring your project to life. The all-new Chaos Cosmos asset browser lets you easily place render-ready content right into your Revit model.

V-Ray & Revit are the Perfect Team
Revit is the world's most widely used BIM software for architecture and design. And V-Ray is the world's #1 rendering software for architectural visualization. The two together are the perfect combination to take your designs and presentations to the next level.

Real-Time Rendering
With V-Ray Vision, you get real-time high-quality visual feedback of your model as you build it. Additionally, you can easily export images or 360 panoramas. Materials, cameras and lighting set up in V-Ray Vision can easily be scaled to photorealism.

Render-Ready 3D Assets
The integrated asset library, Chaos Cosmos, enables you to search and add render-ready objects to your model directly in Revit. With accurate scale, automatic LODs and interoperability across 3ds Max, SketchUp and Rhino, Chaos Cosmos assets are an essential addition to any Revit pipeline.

GPU, CPU & Hybrid Rendering
V-Ray comes with two powerful rendering engines. You can choose between super-fast GPU and CPU or Hybrid rendering to best suit your project needs and requirements.

DeNoiser
The NVIDIA AI Denoiser uses artificial intelligence to remove noise in an instant. And the V-Ray Denoiser supports denoising individual render channels to simplify compositing.

Interactive Rendering
Render interactively while you design. Fine-tune lights, materials and cameras and see the results right away.

Chaos Cloud
Rendering on the Cloud is just one click away.

V-Ray Swarm
Powerful and scalable distributed rendering system that's simple and fast. Get an extra speed boost with V-Ray Render nodes.

Render Channels
Choose from many unique beauty, utility and matte passes to give you more control over your rendered images in compositing.

Scene Intelligence
Automatically analyzes your scene to optimize rendering so you get the best quality in less time.

Settings Management
Set up individual lighting, mood, and composition per view in the same Revit model. Easily share render settings across teams and projects.

Batch Rendering
Leave V-Ray to render your project images while you are away. Batch rendering helps you schedule multiple views for rendering with a click of a button.

Sun Animation
V-Ray adds extra realism to Revit’s Solar Study. Explore and visualize the impact of natural light and shadows on your designs across a variety of timespans.

Seamless Integration
V-Ray naturally fits into Revit's UI and complements your Revit workflow without altering your BIM database.

Asset Editor
Create, edit, save and manage your V-Ray materials all in one place with the Asset Editor. Assign materials to a new proxy object, save it in the Editor and reuse this configuration in any project.

Appearance Manager
Take your Revit renders to the next level. With the Appearance Manager, you can set basic Revit assets to automatically switch to more realistic V-Ray assets at render time.

Frame Buffer
Track history of your rendered images, fine-tune their color parameters and save them directly to your Revit project. Use the new layer-based compositor to do color corrections of final renders and save your presets for future projects.

Accurate Lighting
Simulate any type of natural, artificial, or image-based lighting.V-Ray automatically converts all Revit lights to V-Ray ones and further extends Revit's lighting capabilities.

Light Gen
Study your model in different lighting scenarios without the need for lengthy manual setup. Automatically trigger hundreds of natural lighting scenarios, choose the ones you like best and render.

Light Mixing
Experiment and adjust your model’s lighting after you have rendered. Tweak the brightness and color of individual or groups of light sources to find the best rendition for your space.

Adaptive Lights
This lighting algorithm dramatically speeds up rendering in scenes containing many lights. And you can render image-based lighting much faster with the new Adaptive Dome Light. It’s exceptionally quick for interiors and substantially speeds up your rendering.

Lighthing Analysis
Easily visualize real-world illumination values (lux) with the new Lighting Analysis render element.

Sun & Sky
Take advantage of our improved sky model to present your design in its best light when the sun is at the horizon. Alternatively, use the sky generation parameters for full creative control.

Global Illumination
Render photorealistic rooms and interiors with powerful and fast global illumination.

Real-World Cameras
Work like a photographer, with controls for exposure, white balance, depth of field and more.

Automatic Exposure & White Balance
Capture the perfect exposure every time. The new Auto Exposure and Auto White Balance camera controls make rendering as simple as point and shoot.

Lens Effects
Add that extra touch of photorealism with real-world camera lens effects such as bloom and glare.

Virtual Reality (VR)
Experience your designs at 1:1 scale. Create content for popular VR headsets with 6x1 cubic and spherical stereo camera types.

Phyiscal Materials
Create great looking materials that look exactly like the real thing.

Material Library
Download over 500 4K-quality architectural materials from our library on demand. Glass, metal, wood — any texture you need for your model is available and render-ready.

Native Materials Support
Render an enhanced version of your Revit material automatically. Alternatively, convert it to .vrmat and customize it to represent the actual complex material you’ll put in your design.

Decals
Add images to paintings, signs, screens and more. V-Ray for Revit has full support for Revit Decals.

Contours
Give your model a sketch-like look. Use the global contour settings to create every outline automatically or the Contour material attribute to highlight a certain region.

Coat & Sheen Materials
Use these two new layers to add distinct effects to V-Ray materials. The Coat layer creates polished surfaces while the Sheen layer is perfect for realistic fabrics such as silk or velvet.

Randomizer
Use the UVW Randomization asset to create realistic materials by randomizing patterns and colors. The Stochastic Tiling functionality removes texture tiling seams.

Weathering & Dirt
