VRayEnvironmentFog color transparency

We’ve added colored transparency to VRayEnvironmentFog, making specific setups, like underwater shots, easier to create, more realistic, and faster to render.

Opacity Cutout Conversion

Convert opacity-mapped objects to actual geometry for faster rendering. This new feature will save time when rendering broad-leaved trees or other vegetation.

New V-Ray Material translucency

Create true translucent materials with the updated V-Ray Material. Now with built-in volumetric random walk subsurface scattering, it’s easier than ever to render realistic skin, plastic, wax, and more.
