Companies can simply send their material samples to VRscans and receive an accurate digital representation of the material as a .vrscan file in return. This is render-ready for V-Ray from Chaos Group. Scanning captures all of a material’s properties, such as surface texture, reflections, proportions and reactions to light sources. The complex data is read through the VRscan plug-in, after which the asset can be rendered from any camera angle and under any lighting condition.
The VRscans service is available now and compatible with the current versions of V-Ray and 3ds Max. Support for further applications is in development.
Pricing information is available via vrscans@chaosgroup.com or www.vrscans.com.
