本插件是由chaosgroup公司出品的V-Ray渲染器3dsMa 2014-2016插件V3.40.01版，大小：720 MB，支持3dsMax 2014- 2016版软件，支持Win64位系统，语言：英语。

VRay是由chaosgroup和asgvis公司出品的一款高质量渲染软件。VRay是目前业界最受欢迎的渲染引擎。基于V-Ray 内核开发的有VRay for 3ds max、Maya、Sketchup、Rhino等诸多版本，为不同领域的优秀3D建模软件提供了高质量的图片和动画渲染。除此之外，VRay也可以提供单独的渲染程序，方便使用者渲染各种图片。

VRay渲染器提供了一种特殊的材质——VrayMtl。在场景中使用该材质能够获得更加准确的物理照明（光能分布），更快的渲染，反射和折射参数调节更方便。使用VrayMtl，你可以应用不同的纹理贴图，控制其反射和折射，增加凹凸贴图和置换贴图，强制直接全局照明计算，选择用于材质的BRDF。
