: For optimal GPU rendering, it is recommended to have system RAM that is at least double your GPU's VRAM (e.g., 64GB RAM for 32GB VRAM). Installation & Availability Official Download : The installer can be found on the Chaos Download Page or within your SketchUp Studio account portal if you have a subscription.
: Improved models for more realistic outdoor lighting and atmospheric effects. GPU Rendering Improvements : Faster "time to first pixel" and new support for (realistic light patterns from water or glass) on the GPU. Chaos Cosmos Variants V-Ray 7.00.01 for SketchUp 2021-2024
V-Ray 7 is the first commercial ray tracer to natively support 3D Gaussian Splatting . This technology allows you to import high-quality 3D scans of real-world objects or environments—captured from simple photos or videos—and render them with realistic lighting and depth. It effectively eliminates the need for complex photogrammetry workflows for background elements. : For optimal GPU rendering, it is recommended
