Key features in V-Ray 5 for Cinema 4D, update 2

Streamline your workflow

Materials now available in Cosmos — In addition to high-quality 3D models and HDRI skies, Chaos Cosmos now includes 200 high-resolution V-Ray materials that are ready to render just the way you want.

New randomization options — The new V-Ray UVW Randomizer with Stochastic tiling helps you easily add randomness and variety to materials for extra realism, and eliminates the problem of texture tiling artifacts.
