Autodesk Revit is currently one of the most widely used software in the BIM system of the construction industry, while V-Ray is one of the most recognized and outstanding renderer software solutions in the construction, film, animation and other CG production fields. The launch of V-Ray for Revit is an exciting thing. On the one hand, it continues to expand ChaosGroup’s product line of V-Ray series; on the other hand, it will certainly bring more convenience and possibilities to the rendering performance in the field of architecture.

As a professional renderer plug-in created by ChaosGroup specially for Autodesk Revit users (mainly architects and designers), V-Ray for Revit can help Autodesk Revit users quickly and easily render high-quality images. It is one of the most popular and widely used Revit plug-ins for now, can be seamlessly integrated with Revit, and comes with an intuitive user interface, rich rendering parameters and super fast rendering speed.

V-Ray for Revit has many commonly used features, such as support for web-based distributed rendering, which allows user to greatly improve the rendering speed by using the functions of all available desktop and rendering nodes; reducing rendering time by de-noising via GPU acceleration; support for full interactive rendering, letting the designer render the entire scene while designing the scheme; no steep learning curve traditionally associated with the high-end rendering; and more.

// Key Features //

Feature	Description
DESIGN-FRIENDLY INTERFACE	Quickly balance quality and speed with V-Ray for Revit’s render presets. Work in draft mode for early iterations and switch to high quality for presentations.
INTERACTIVE RENDERING	Render interactively while you design. Fine-tune lights and materials and see the results right away.
PHYSICALLY-BASED LIGHTING	Accurate options for IES and HDR image-based lighting, as well as support for Revit Sun and Sky.
ADAPTIVE LIGHTS	Fast new lighting algorithm that can cut rendering time by up to 7X in scenes with many lights.
REAL-WORLD CAMERAS	Simulate photographic cameras from Revit’s native camera views.
PHYSICAL MATERIALS	Automatically convert Revit materials to V-Ray’s physically-correct format. Fine-tune material properties using the V-Ray Material Editor.
MATERIAL LIBRARY	Over 500 high-quality architectural materials — compatible with V-Ray for 3ds Max, Rhino and SketchUp.
DIAGRAMMATIC MATERIALS	Easily make scenes look diagrammatic or like a scale models with material presets such as basswood and foam core.
SECTION BOXES	Render sections easily with full support for Revit’s native section boxes.
DENOISER	Automatically removes artifacts and noise, cutting render times with GPU-accelerated denoising.
AERIAL PERSPECTIVE	Add realistic atmospheric depth with aerial perspective and environment fog.
V-RAY FRAME BUFFER	Fine-tune your render’s color, exposure, and more directly in V-Ray’s frame buffer.
MATERIAL ID RENDER ELEMENT	Mask individual objects for easier compositing in Photoshop or your favorite image editor.
VIRTUAL REALITY	Verify designs at 1:1 scale in popular VR headsets like Google Cardboard, Samsung Gear VR, Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.
V-RAY SWARM	Web-based distributed rendering to speed up rendering by using the power of all available desktops and render nodes.
EXPORT TO V-RAY STANDALONE	Export a ready-to-render scene from Revit to V-Ray Standalone.
