"Sixth annual Hum3D competition for the best Car render. It’s the largest awards event for the car 3d modeling and visualization industry.
Everything is as usual: you have to create a car 3D model, put it into 3D environment and make a beautiful render. There are no limits for your creative ideas: you can choose any automobile you like whether it is racing or imaginary vehicle. We invite all Rhino 3D artists to participate."
Chaos Group just released the latest version of their smart rendering engine for Rhino. V-Ray for Rhino update 1 is packed with useful features including performance optimizations, UI and workflow improvements, and powerful new functionality for V-Ray for Grasshopper.
Some of the new and improved features in V-Ray Next for Rhino are:
Updated materials workflow — Now, you can create V-Ray materials and assign them to layers directly in Rhino’s Materials panel. You can also apply materials with a simple drag and drop directly onto scene objects or layers.
Faster interactive rendering — The latest update features more responsive CPU interactive rendering when editing the scene camera, lighting and materials.
Cryptomatte render element support — Makes it easier to select objects for post-production.
Temperature color picker — The V-Ray color picker also introduces a Kelvin temperature slider, which automatically provides a corresponding RGB color.
New in Grasshopper — Even more advanced animation setups with the new advanced value remapping utility component that exposes a bezier curve editor. In addition, you can now load V-Ray library materials in the definition, render using orthographic cameras, or export V-Ray proxy mesh and animated scene files.
We get a little thrilled when we see Rhino software in use. In this case, that little Rhino logo showed up in the video for Team New Zealand in their America's Cup preparations.
