In addition to OpenCL, V-Ray RT GPU also received integrated Cuda. A card with Kepler or Fermi architecture together with the latest drivers is required for its use. Another larger update for V-Ray RT and V-Ray RT GPU concerns motion blur. Transformation and deformation of motion blur have been possible since the update in Active-Shade mode and in the Production Renderer.

The V-Ray object settings as well as the VRayWrapperMtl material were also expanded to include a selection for matting in the reflection/refraction area.

The following PDF additionally lists the modified features. Users who are registered for "V-Ray for 3DS Max" receive the update to the latest version free of charge. It can be downloaded via the Chaosgroup Homepage.
