If you work in 3D design, you know how much time and effort goes into making every render look perfect. The latest V-Ray 7 for 3ds Max Update 2 is here to make that process not only easier but also much faster.
This update packs a serious punch: AI-powered tools, lightning-fast rendering, and new features that give you more creative control than ever before. Whether you are building photo-realistic interiors, cinematic environments, or detailed product visuals, V-Ray 7 is ready to take your work to the next level.
AI enhancer: Make your renders shine in seconds
We have all been there, spending hours tweaking small details just to make a render look right. The AI Enhancer in V-Ray 7 changes that. With just one click, you can instantly refine your image without having to re-render.
It sharpens details, improves lighting, and gives your scene that extra “wow” factor. This is perfect for those moments when a client meeting is in 10 minutes and you need the render to look flawless.
AI material generator: From snapshot to perfect texture
Creating realistic materials can be a tedious process. The AI Material Generator makes it incredibly simple. Snap a photo of a real-world surface and let V-Ray turn it into a seamless PBR material in seconds.
Wood grain from your desk, a unique stone texture from your garden, or the fabric pattern from your favorite jacket can instantly become part of your 3D world. It is fast, fun, and saves hours of manual texturing.
Night sky: Real stars, real moon, real magic
Lighting is everything in a scene, especially at night. With the new Night Sky feature, you get astronomically accurate stars, moon phases, and even the Milky Way.
Want a romantic moonlit street scene? A realistic backyard under starlight? Or maybe a sci-fi planet with a perfectly positioned galaxy? Now you can do it all, and it looks completely believable.
Chaos cloud updates: Faster renders and easier collaboration
The Chaos Cloud service also got a big boost. Here is what is new:
- Interactive 3D Streaming: Share a live, interactive version of your project with clients or teammates for instant feedback.
- Faster GPU Rendering: Get high-quality results in less time, allowing you to take on more projects without burning out your hardware or yourself.
These updates make it much easier to collaborate remotely, cut down on revision cycles, and speed up delivery times.
Smarter tools for everyday workflows
Alongside the headline features, V-Ray 7 for 3ds Max Update 2 also comes with smaller but very useful workflow improvements:
- Scatter Clustering: Keep scattered objects organized for more natural-looking vegetation, crowds, or props.
- Gaussian Splats Clipping: Improve performance when handling massive point clouds, making large environments easier to manage.
- Expanded LightMix: Tweak your lighting setups after rendering, experiment freely, and avoid starting from scratch.
These upgrades may not be as flashy as AI, but they make your daily work smoother and more efficient.
Why this update is a big deal
This is not just about better-looking renders. It is about making the entire process more efficient.
For freelancers, that means delivering high-quality work faster and taking on more clients. For studios, it means tighter turnaround times, fewer revision cycles, and happier clients. The AI tools alone can save hours on production time.
