V-Ray for Nuke
Top artists and studios use V-Ray every day to render world-class imagery and visual effects. V-Ray adds production-proven lighting, shading and rendering capabilities to NUKE’s powerful compositing toolset. Save time by making look development decisions on the fly, and output final frames faster by rendering directly in post. V-Ray for NUKE gives you full control over lighting, shadows, reflections and more – without needing to send it back to 3D. V-Ray fits seamlessy into NUKE’s native, node-based workflow. V-Ray’s industry standard ray traced renderer inside NUKE’s industry standard compositing package gives artists the best of both worlds.
