Simply download the V-Ray installer through your Account Management Portal under “My Products” and start using it.

It gives you unlimited use of V-Ray 5 for SketchUp on your CPU or GPU, V-Ray Vision, and Chaos Cosmos. Your SketchUp Studio subscription is Windows-only. Please note that you must use your Trimble ID sign-in credentials to download any content. This curated library is accessible directly in the V-Ray toolbar and allows you to search, download, and edit the 3D content. These render-ready components can be viewed as low-resolution polygons in the SketchUp viewport to help increase model performance, rasterized objects in V-Ray Vision, and high-resolution ray-traced objects in V-Ray 5 when you’re ready for the final output.

Save time and modeling energy by taking advantage of V-Ray’s robust, web-based content library called Chaos Cosmos - full of high-quality, smart 3D content that you can download directly into your design ( think: people, vegetation, furniture, accessories, and lighting!). Once you’re done, capture screenshots and export animations and spherical panoramic images for virtual reality with the click of a button.

With real-time rendering, you can quickly present ideas to clients, make edits on the fly, and remotely collaborate with your team - drastically shortening project timelines. Toggle, orbit, adjust lighting, and color-correct your models within seconds in the V-Ray Vision window while you work in SketchUp. Explore your SketchUp models in a game-like environment with instant rendering capabilities and alternative viewports via a live link with SketchUp. Don’t have time to wait around for a high-definition, photoreal render? V-Ray Vision has got you covered.
