Viewport rendering: View your V-Ray renders without ever leaving the SketchUp viewport. In addition, V-Ray GPU running on NVIDIA CUDA can take full advantage of all available hardware, including CPUs and GPUs. Powerful GPU & new hybrid rendering: V-Ray 3.6 for SketchUp includes faster, more powerful GPU rendering capabilities, with added support for aerial perspective, displacement, subsurface scattering, matte/shadows, and more. Here’s a rundown of what’s new in V-Ray 3.6 for Sketchup. For the first time, we’re releasing this version at the same time as Trimble releases SketchUp 2018, so you can start using the newest features of both immediately. With V-Ray 3.6 for SketchUp, we’re bringing cutting-edge features from V-Ray for Max and Maya to SketchUp. We know that architects and designers love SketchUp’s ease of use and quick modelling features, so we built a version of V-Ray which seamlessly slots into its simple work environment. V-Ray 3.6 for SketchUp, with full support for SketchUp 2018, is here.
