in our testing even a 140mb hdri loads in short time (same speed as the c4d image loader)

Image loading speedup of big bitmaps: even many huge hdri images load now very fast into the vray advanced bitmap shader.

image corrections can be done near real time, even on big hdri files. Slider speed and preview opimisation in the interface: many of you wished the sliders to be same interactive as in internal shaders and also the previews to be faster.s o we reverse engineered the system Maxon uses to speed up its interface and previews.the vray shaders and vraybitmap uses now intense bitmap chaching and intelligent down sampling for previews. the shader baking can be chosen global ad or per material,the baking size is adjustable per material,and also the bitmap depth (8,16, and 32bit). this is a unique feature on VRAYforC4D, which no other V-Ray version has so far, it extend the possibiity to use internal shaders to a great extend,while being able to use the newest technologies provided by Chaosgroup and the V-Ray sdk (it also prepares for extended shader support the forthcoming V-Ray RT C4D feature implementation). This means all 2d based c4d shaders, similar 3rd party texture shaders, the beloved c4d noise shaders in 2d uv mode, etc, and even setups stacked in c4d layer shader and or c4d filter shader can be on the fly rendered, direct with DR /standalone. On the fly 2d shader baking: the new VRAYforC4D version can now on render time bake any 2d texture shader setup into a V-Ray standalone compatible V-Ray raw bitmap format. Example huge CAD scenes that did take in the VRAYforC4D export like over 2min can export now for local rendering in 15sec. this system keeps the “vrscene”(official V-Ray system all new V-Ray versions use) compatibility, but at the same time the speed optimisations many of you wished for big scenes. Speed export optimisation: a new material and uv instancing system on export,which optimizes export,specially on big scenes extremely. The feature list of VRAY for C4D 1.9 is as following: V-Ray is the de-facto standard in architecture & design visualization, car rendering, TV commercials, and many more areas. It enables you to use V-Ray directly within Cinema 4D using the typical C4D like workflow.

VRAYforC4D is the Cinema 4D native incarnation of this great engine. Its proven, beautiful and features super realistic image quality, at an unsurpassed render speed. It is widely used by professional CG artists and visualization firms worldwide. V-Ray is one of highest quality render tools available for production.
