The Layer Compositor offers a faster path to final images, helping users post-process shots in the new VFB without outside applications. Users can now adjust the color and intensity of any light source right away, ensuring faster iterations when designing looks and moods. With Light Mix, artists can interactively explore different lighting scenarios without having to re-render an image.

Two of V-Ray 5’s most exciting additions – Layer Compositing and Light Mix – can be found in the new V-Ray Frame Buffer (VFB), which was also redesigned for efficiency and a cleaner look. V-Ray 5 is a big step in that direction.” “An artist doesn’t want to jump into extra applications – they want tools that excel at every part of the process. “The future is all-in-one,” said Phillip Miller, Vice President of Product Management at Chaos Group. Artists and designers can now composite renders, enhance materials and interactively relight images without leaving the program, extending V-Ray’s capabilities into new realms.
