The VFB received powerful post-production upgrades. Artists can now apply masking directly to Lens Effects and Denoiser layers. This means you can blur specific light sources while keeping others sharp, or denoise only the background of a scene, significantly enhancing control without re-rendering.
You can now save your Light Mix configurations and apply them back to the original scene lights, syncing your post-render tweaks with your actual 3ds Max light objects. Compatibility: 3ds Max 2018–2024
: Avoid mixing native 3ds Max materials or older standard shaders. Use native V-Ray Materials to allow the sampler engine to calculate rays quickly and minimize noise artifacting.
The flagship material now features an integrated Thin Film layer , allowing you to easily simulate iridescent surfaces like soap bubbles, oil slicks, or coated glass.
