V-Ray 6: Introduced Enmesh (for tiling geometry), Procedural Clouds, and V-Ray Proxy Hierarchy.
V-Ray 2.0 focused on speed optimizations and expanding beyond a single host application. This era saw official expansion into Maya, Rhino, SketchUp, and Softimage. vray all versions list
For users, understanding the version history is vital; while V-Ray 2.0 scenes are still readable in modern versions, features like the VRayMtl have evolved significantly, often requiring manual updating of legacy scenes to take advantage of the speed and fidelity offered in V-Ray 6 and 7.

Added support for decals, V-Ray Enmesh (for tiling geometry patterns without high memory overhead), and sharper cryptomatte masks. 6. The Realism Era: V-Ray 6 (2022–2023) Worlds, Clouds, and Collaboration
The most significant shift in recent history occurred with V-Ray Next (version 4) and the subsequent move to a unified versioning system.
The software has seen several major iterations, transitioning from version-based numbering to thematic branding like "Next" before returning to numerical sequences.
