V-Ray Next for Rhino update

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.
