Hopefully, there will be an opportunity to expand the service to a point where they can have licensed access to a vast library of materials.

Using the plugin, you will be able to load the materials into any V-Ray renderer. The scanned materials BTF (bidirectional texture functions) to capture a material’s surface, texture data, and unique response to light, instead of using BRDF. That includes the legacy estimation shaders such as Blinn, GGX and Ward. The new service will give you final materials that offer a much better representation than that of standard BRDF approximations. If you ship the materials that you want converted and scanned to VRscans, they will analyze, scan and deliver accurate ready-to-render materials. You can now get an exact digital replica of a physical material and render it in V-Ray without building a texture or changing a setting. The Chaos Group has developed a new material scanning technology and has rolled it out as a new service and plugin. VRscans introduces a new level of accuracy for visualizing real-world materials in computer graphics. TRANSLUCENT MATERIALS - The industry's first technology capable of scanning & rendering translucent materials.The Chaos Group is hoping to set a new standard in material creation and visualization with a newly launched VRscans service. REFLECTIVE & HOLOGRAPHIC MATERIALS - Render complex reflective and holographic surfaces.

PHYSICAL MATERIALS - Render a wide variety of physical materials including plastic, leather, stone, metal, wood, and fabric.ĬAR PAINTS - Simulate the look of highly-detailed car paint, complete with orange peel and clear coat. Now available in Max and Maya, and coming soon for Sketchup and Rhino. SEAMLESSLY TILEABLE - VRscans materials repeat without joins.ĬUSTOMIZABLE - Fine-tune the appearance of materials directly in Max or Maya.īUILT FOR V-RAY - Render with V-Ray 3.5 or higher, the industry's leading renderer for VFX, product design and architectural visualization. More advanced than a single point BRDF, VRscans recreate a material's true surface appearance and response to light.ĮASY TO USE - RVRscans require no prior material-building knowledge, or use of reference materials. PHYSICALLY ACCURATE - VRscans are created from thousands of images, capturing a material's bidirectional texture function (BTF). INCREDIBLY PHOTOREAL - VRscans uses high-quality hardware to capture the material’s texture in exceptional quality.
