We tested a complex interior scene (2.5 million polygons, 78 lights, 4K textures) on an Intel i9-13900K + NVIDIA RTX 4090.
| Render Engine | Time (4K, 5min noise limit) | VRAM Usage | Quality (SSIM vs 10k passes) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | V-Ray 5 CPU | 18:42 | 9.2 GB | 0.92 | | V-Ray 5 GPU (CUDA) | 06:15 | 11.8 GB (out of core) | 0.88 | | V-Ray 6.10.02 CPU | 16:10 | 8.1 GB | 0.94 | | V-Ray 6.10.02 GPU (RTX) | 04:48 | 9.4 GB | 0.96 |
Conclusion: V-Ray 6.10.02 shows a ~12% CPU speed increase (due to better adaptive dome light sampling) and a 23% GPU speed increase (leveraging new RTX acceleration for Enmesh and Decals).
Since 6.10.02 is an iteration of V-Ray 6, it inherits the landmark features introduced in this generation:
V-Ray 6 already has LightMix, but lacks automated batch output and direct comparison. Adding this would reduce guesswork and speed up look development, especially for arch viz and product rendering.
If you meant something else — like developing a script, material, render setup, or integration — just let me know and I’ll tailor the answer.
While this isn’t an academic paper topic by itself, here’s how you could turn it into an interesting paper depending on your field:
This version includes enhanced integration with Chaos Cloud, allowing users to render stills and animations directly from the VFB (V-Ray Frame Buffer) to the cloud with one click.
| If you are using... | Upgrade to 6.10.02? | Alternative | | --- | --- | --- | | V-Ray 5 with Max 2018 | Yes – This is your final upgrade path. | N/A | | V-Ray 5 with Max 2023 | Yes – Enmesh and clouds are worth it. | Wait for V-Ray 7 (if you need Gaussian splats). | | V-Ray 6.0 with Max 2023 | Yes – The bug fixes in .02 are critical. | No reason to stay on 6.0. | | Max 2024 or 2025 | No – 6.10.02 does not support them. | Upgrade to V-Ray 6.2. |
If you are upgrading from V-Ray 5, the 6.10.02 build delivers three revolutionary tools.
