Simplified Render controls: V-Ray Next for Rhino includes a redesigned interface that is more intuitive and easy to use. Now it is quick and easy to preview and manage lights, materials, textures and more all from a single location. Powerful asset management: The new asset management system helps you keep track of everything in your scene and streamlines your entire workflow. The new Adaptive Dome Light also removes the need to set up Portal lights for interiors. Adaptive Dome Light: Render faster, cleaner and more accurate image-based lighting that's up to 7x faster.

Animate Grasshopper definitions as well as cameras and sun, and measure real-world illumination values - all right in Grasshopper. Render your parametric designs directly without 'bakes' or exports. Superior Grasshopper support:With V-Ray Next, you can do more in Grasshopper than ever before and get advantage of powerful capabilities.

V-Ray Next for Rhino is compatible with Rhino 5 and 6 on Windows only. It is 50% faster overall, with GPU rendering 2x as fast and 7x faster using the Adaptive Dome Light. V-Ray Next makes it easier to manage everything in your scene - even the crazy complex ones. It is also a full suite of tools to help you accomplish more in Rhinoceros than ever before. This is how our Plants kil vol 2 is done - you can directly copy blocks that are in the file, so you eliminate the time spent on this process.V-Ray Next for Rhino is much more than a do-it-all smart renderer that creates gorgeous images of your designs. These blocks should be used for scattering.

And last thing - Rhino performance - As for now, using Rhinoceros 5 + V-Ray 3.60.03 the most effective way is to convert geometry to proxies and then to blocks. This makes scattering process a bit faster and eliminates the issue with object under the surface. For the Normal orientation - sometimes it's a good idea to mesh the surfaces you want to use for scattering, check normals of these meshes and join them. Then we have to adjust these accordingly. Regarding the Rhino Grow - we use it all the time, however it needs manual refinement after the scatter is done - Plugin doesn't position objects evenly and leaves empty areas, while at some areas, the population is too dense. Hi! First of all, Rhino grow will be obsolete in a few weeks - new scattering plugin is under development and it looks very promising.
