The update also introduces a new Sun and Sky model, which generates more physically accurate results than its predecessor, particularly when the sun is close to the horizon. Key changes include built-in layer-based compositing in the V-Ray Frame Buffer (VFB), and Light Mix, a Corona-Renderer-style system to adjust the intensity of lights in images without the need to re-render them. SketchUp is the latest host application to be updated to the new V-Ray 5 architecture, following the releases of V-Ray 5 for 3ds Max and V-Ray 5 for Maya earlier this year. V-Ray 5 core features: compositing in the VFB, Light Mix and new materials options Unique features include V-Ray Vision, a new real-time rasterisation-based render mode for exploring SketchUp scenes, and Light Gen, an automated system for rendering lighting variations of a scene.

The update makes the key features from other editions of V-Ray 5 available in SketchUp, including compositing in the V-Ray frame buffer, the Light Mix system, and new materials options.
