What's new in VRED 2022

VRED® 2022 visualisation and virtual prototyping software introduces enhancements to rendering, data handling and streaming capabilities.

  • Video: Improvements in rendering include new shader models and enhancements in GPU ray-tracing

    Rendering improvements

    New shader models and GPU ray tracing improvements provide superior rendering quality. (video: 1.32 min.)

  • Video: Enhancements to the uv editor, support for Alias reference assemblies and new texture-based light baking

    Improvements in data handling

    Includes enhanced UV editor, support for Alias reference assemblies and new texture-based light baking. (video: 2.05 min.)

  • Video: Render of the interior of a car in VRED user interface with Objects Behind and an object file selected in 2 drop-down menus

    Expanded streaming capabilities

    Enhanced VRED streaming capabilities, including UI improvements and expanded device support. (video: 2.21 min.)

  • Video: Real-time depth of field for added realism to renderings

    Interactive depth of field

    You can now use real-time depth of field, both in OpenGL and CPU ray tracing, as well as for animations. (video: 48 sec.)

  • Video: More options have been introduced to screen space ambient occlusion

    Screen space ambient occlusion

    Greater option selection with screen space ambient occlusion provides better quality with minimal artefacts. (video: 54 sec.)

More releases

VRED 2021

  • Revamped improvements to UV editor

    Updated UV editor

    VRED 2021.1

    The completely overhauled UV editor is more automated, now providing more Maya-like results. (video: 2.08 min.)

  • Improved GPU ray tracing and denoising

    Improved quality renders

    VRED 2021.1

    Introducing new sampling and ray tracing techniques, as well as GPU ray tracing enhancements, for better render quality. (video: 1.01 min.)

  • Redesigned web interface and Stream app

    Flexibility in collaboration

    VRED 2021.1

    Improvements to the VRED Stream app include flexibility with size, browser choice and connectivity. (video: 49 sec.)

  • Video: Enable volume scattering for materials like translucent plastics and marble to achieve a more physically accurate look

    Subsurface scattering algorithm

    The volume scattering algorithm allows for a more realistic look and behaviour of materials. (video: 48 sec.)

  • Video: Open your VRED Go file on a different system and explore the scene there

    VRED Go exportable file

    Export a VRED Go file to view in VR or on desktop without having to install VRED. (video: 1:05 mins)

  • Prototype in VRED of a blue sports car on a beach, parked in front of craggy, slate grey boulders

    Adaptive variable rate shading

    Increase rendering performance and quality by varying the shading rate for different regions of the frame.

  • GPU Ray tracing on the graphic card

    Switch easily between CPU and GPU Ray tracing for maximum flexibility between hardware choices.

  • VRED Stream and Streaming App

    Stream Render window content with UI controls to a web browser, desktop or mobile device.

VRED 2020

  • Cryptomatte renderpass

    Easily eliminate the tricky issue of automatically generating consistent ID mattes from render.

  • Python constraints

    Create, remove and search for constraints in your scene. Change them and change target weights.

  • Rounded edges in ray tracing

    The shader effect modifies the shading normal near edges to give the appearance of round edges.

  • VRS supported viewing

    Leverage VRS for foveated and content adaptive rendering in virtual reality with Eye tracking.

  • SPEOS-generated Rayfiles

    Enables hyper-realistic visualisations of vehicle interiors and exteriors with highly accurate lighting simulation.

  • Camera/backplate matching

    Perspective match adjusts the camera viewpoint so the backplate image matches the scene.

  • Catia axis system import

    Import additional axis systems from Catia, and then create a transformation group with hidden coordinates.

  • Substance source web shop

    Small web browser toolbar lets you access, download and use substance materials directly in VRED.
