V-Ray 6.00.20 For 3ds Max 2018-2023 Full Actived

Chief among the new features in V-Ray 6 for 3ds Max include Chaos Scatter, the new Chaos tool for spreading objects over surfaces, first introduced in Corona 8. The tool is an alternative to traditionally more powerful third-party plugins such as iToo Software’s Forest Pack. Another interesting new feature is the VRayEnmesh modifier, which covers the surface of an object with repeating geometry, similar to a texture. Unlike instancing, repeating geometry does not use additional memory – only the original mesh is loaded, allowing you to have “billions of polygons in the scene, without any impact on memory consumption.”
