Sketchup Vray 2023 — [2021]

: Instead of static HDRIs, you can now generate dynamic clouds that react to the V-Ray Sun. These clouds can be animated and customized for thickness, density, and height.

V-Ray 6 (the compatible version for SketchUp 2023) introduced several "world-building" tools that automate tedious tasks:

: Using the V-Ray GPU engine, users can experience rendering speeds dozens of times faster than CPU alone. This is ideal for real-time feedback during the design process.

: You can now "stamp" textures onto surfaces (like road markings or wall stains) without manually adjusting UV maps. The latest hotfixes added a "Bend" function for applying decals to curved surfaces like cylinders. Performance and Hardware Compatibility

: Perfect for complex surfaces like fences or fabrics, Enmesh tiles 3D geometry across a surface without increasing the polygon count, making it much lighter than traditional modeling.
