Also, Revit users can now perform lighting analysis by evaluating real-world lux values from daylight and fixtures to determine the exact illumination levels of their design. There is a new asset editor that enables users to create, edit, save and manage V-Ray materials all in one place. FeaturesĬhaos product manager, Ana Lyubenova, describes V-Ray Next “as helping Revit to do things it couldn’t do before.” They believe they’re offering customers a better Revit because it’s smarter, faster, and more efficient than using it without V-Ray Next. V-Ray Next for Revit works within the context of Revit to define renders and Chaos Group has taken advantage of AI to speed rendering and improve renders. This is in contrast to Autodesk’s high-quality Arnold renderer, which requires Revit files to be linked and later rendered in a separate host package, namely 3ds Max. By tightly coupling V-Ray with the host design software, they hope to transform the complex problem of producing photorealistic renders into a fast and straightforward solution. Similar to V-Ray Next for SketchUp and Rhino, Chaos is distilling over 10 years of their rendering R&D into a tool that makes sense to architects using Revit.

The Chaos Group recently announced its release of V-Ray Next for Revit, which enables high-quality rendering straight out of Autodesk’s building design software. Chaos differentiates with application-aware rendering.
