Chaos Group Launches V-Ray for Unreal Engine Beta
The rise in popularity of real-time applications for configurators, design reviews, virtual production and VR has presented an opportunity to bind ray tracing – the most realistic style of rendering – to this emerging toolset. In the past, bridging the two has been challenging, requiring users familiar with 3ds Max and SketchUp to recreate their key design choices like lighting and materials in Unreal. With V-Ray for Unreal, artists and designers can transfer the entirety of their scene directly into real-time.
V-Ray for Unreal can also be applied to CAD workflows, bringing the power of V-Ray to new users. As geometry is imported from programs like Solidworks, designers will be able to apply V-Ray lighting and materials to their assets, preparing them for a photorealistic result.
The V-Ray for Unreal beta is open to all artists and designers. Sign up now.

Miarmy 6.2 for Autodesk Maya 2014 - 2019
New Features
Easy Cache Editing Solution
After simulation and caching, we can easily fix some small bugs in simulation by grouping and editing tools. And in the new version, we support layer cache and allow the agents inside being able to adapt terrain.
Agents are now able to mimic the orientation of nearby group of agents and achieve the flocking behavior, this can be used very frequently in animals simulation like birds, fishes or sheep.
2 armies can auto fight each other now.
Charge, meet, aim and attack can be automatically calculated by our direct logic engine.
Now we can define the spot by geometry. The target point doesn't have to be spot again. Instead it can be random points distributed inside the geometry. We can use it to sculpt the shape of agent flock.
New Action Proxy tool has been updated in the new version, we can now check the action and tweak the transition of actions much easier than before.
We bring a new QT based Transition Map and Brain View (in Maya 2018), making it easier to debug your agents.
Redshift renderer can now read the shader of each geometry and render everything correctly.
Exit Trigger
We can use logic to control the action agents will select to transit to next action in transition map along with exit trigger.

Solid Angle Arnold 5.1 for Maya, Houdini, Cinema4D, 3ds Max, and Katana
Optimizing for quality and speed
-Adaptive sampling offers a streamlined way to easily tune image fidelity, so users can reduce render times without jeopardizing final image quality.
-Two new denoising solutions give you the option to use much lower quality sampling settings to optimize your rendering process:
-The OptiX Denoiser based on NVIDIA AI technology is now integrated into Arnold.
-The Arnold Denoiser is a standalone tool that offers the temporal stability needed for final frame denoising.
Toon shader
A new Toon shader has been integrated as part of a non-photorealistic rendering solution, provided in combination with the Contour Filter, making it easier to achieve incredible new styles and effects. While Arnold is long known for producing beautiful photorealistic imagery, many users have asked for functionality allowing toon or stylized non-photoreal looks, and this new shader will open up a tremendous range of options.
For technical users, Arnold continues to offer the stability needed to scale performance without sacrificing image quality.
-A native Alembic procedural will help studios working with Alembic pipelines to better integrate Arnold, optimize their Alembic workflow, and eliminate production bottlenecks.
-A new Profiling API plus structured statistics, including the ability to output data in JSON format, offer a set of powerful debugging tools so users can more easily identify performance issues and fine-tune rendering processes.
Interoperability for open pipelines
Arnold 5.1 lays the groundwork for major developments in supporting open industry standards, helping to dismantle technical roadblocks that might be limiting your choice of tools.
-Material assignments and overrides: Fully interactive inside of Arnold, a new set of operators makes it possible to override any part of an Arnold scene and modify the Arnold universe at render time. Support for open standard frameworks including MaterialX will make it easier than ever to transfer rich material and look-development content between applications and renderers.
A full list of new features and functionality including progressive rendering and overall enhancements to built-in shaders can be found in the Arnold 5.1 release notes. Visit the Arnold Support Portal for details.
Availability
Arnold has supported plug-ins available for Maya, Houdini, Cinema4D, 3ds Max, and Katana. The software is due to go rental-only on 30 April 2018, with subscriptions starting at $65/month or $615/year.

V-Ray Next for 3ds Max is released
>> See Also: V-Ray Next Beta 2 for 3ds Max
“Our latest R&D has helped boost overall rendering performance by up to 25 percent, giving users a much faster baseline,” said Vlado Koylazov, CTO of Chaos Group. “The speed gains from scene intelligence and a new GPU architecture make it even faster.”
A Smart Start
In the same way that machine learning makes choices based on what is learned about a specific problem, V-Ray has been adopting learning techniques for analyzing a scene as it is rendering. V-Ray Next builds on previous smart features with two new breakthroughs.
The new Adaptive Dome Light (ADL) automatically produces cleaner, more accurate image-based environment lighting that’s up to 7x faster. The ADL also removes the need to set up skylight portals at windows and openings, making it especially helpful for architectural interiors.
Scene intelligence also comes to the V-Ray Physical Camera, via point-and-shoot-style timesavers like Automatic Exposure, Automatic White Balance and a simplified UI. Now, a perfect render will be as easy as taking a snapshot.
"With 22 years in the business, V-Ray is still DBOX's core renderer,” said Neil Griffiths, partner at DBOX. “With so many smart features coming to V-Ray Next, it’s safe to say that won't be changing."
Faster GPU Rendering
V-Ray Next marks the debut of Chaos Group’s fast new V-Ray GPU rendering architecture, which effectively doubles the speed of production rendering. Through a redesign of its kernel structure, V-Ray GPU offers a dual blend of high-performance speed and accuracy across interactive and production renders. The redesign has also prepared V-Ray for new improvements in GPU hardware, which will allow developers to incorporate new features without impacting performance. For instance, V-Ray GPU already tops previous generations of NVIDIA’s Quadro cards, running 47 percent faster on the new Quadro GV100.
Production artists will also enjoy GPU-accelerated support for:
-Environment fog
-Volumetric effects
-VRscans materials
-A Stylist’s Dream
The new Physical Hair Material produces more realistic-looking hair with accurate highlights. Building off a paper produced by Disney Research, Chaos Group has reduced look development down to a few sliders, giving artists full control over glossiness, softness, randomness and more. Easy-to-use melanin controls can quickly dial in any color from blonde to redhead. Hair dye sliders have also been added, so characters can rock a green mohawk, when the brief allows.
Other New Features in V-Ray Next Include:
-NVIDIA Al Denoiser – Fast, real-time denoising based on NVIDIA OptiX AI-accelerated technology
-Denoise Render Elements – Artists can now denoise any render element used on a still or animation project, ensuring more control for compositors.
-Lighting Analysis – Accurately analyze and measure the light levels in a scene with the help of heat maps and data overlays.
-Layered Alembic Workflows – Supports Alembic 1.7 with layering, for faster, more efficient handling and updating of Alembic data
-V-Ray Switch Material – Easily switch between the multiple materials applied to an object for faster look dev and variation decisions.
-V-Ray Plugin and Texture – Load any texture or material from any version of V-Ray into 3ds Max, including procedural textures and PBR materials for Unity and Unreal.
