V-Ray for 3ds Max - The Most Used Rendering Engine in Arch Viz

V-Ray is the rendering engine of choice for architectural visualization artists.  Based on a recent  CGarchitect Architectural Visualization Industry survey, V-Ray is used by over 70% of the industry. If you're not using V-Ray, you should be!

V-Ray is the solution of choice for many 3D production houses due to its capability to deliver high quality photorealistic images in the shortest time.

Top companies like Spine3D, Neoscape, Pure, and Assembly Studios all use V-Ray to produce some the world's more recognized and high quality architectural visualizations and films.
