Create AI render options from Maya V-Ray cameras, IPR previews, and VFB drafts.
AI render previews from V-Ray for Maya scenes, cameras, and look-development stills
AI render previews from V-Ray for Maya scenes, cameras, and look-development stills
Open the Maya scene and frame the same V-Ray camera, perspective view, or IPR region you would use for review. Keep the key silhouette, material cues, set context, and lighting direction visible, then capture the viewport, VFB draft, clay render, or low-sample still. Upload that image to RENDERCAD to explore alternate lighting moods, hero angles, surface finishes, background treatments, creature or character presentation, product stills, and environment concepts. When a direction is approved, return to V-Ray for final shader tuning, render elements, animation frames, and production delivery.
Modeled by CADSharp in Onshape. Rendered with RENDERCAD.

| Feature | RENDERCAD | V-Ray for Maya |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Generative AI | Physically based CPU and GPU rendering inside Autodesk Maya workflows |
| Output | Images + Video | Still images, animation frames, render elements, production passes, and common image formats |
| Resolution | HD / 4K | Set by Maya and V-Ray render settings; constrained by scene complexity, memory, and render hardware |
| Image Speed | ≈10 - 60 Seconds | Scene, samples, lighting, volumes, displacement, resolution, and hardware dependent |
| Video Speed | ≈1 - 5 Minutes | Animation output renders frame by frame; batch, queue, cloud, or render farm workflows are typical for longer sequences |
| Scene Set Up | Zero | Maya scene with V-Ray renderer selected, compatible materials, lights, cameras, sampling, color management, denoise, and render elements configured |
| Input | Screen Snip | Maya scene data rendered through the V-Ray plugin, IPR, VFB, batch, or related pipeline workflows |
| Hardware | Cloud GPU | Desktop Maya workflow on operating systems supported by Maya and V-Ray |
| Install | None | V-Ray for Maya plugin installation and Chaos licensing required; compatibility depends on Maya, OS, and V-Ray versions |
| Cost | from $20/mo | Chaos subscription or license terms vary by region, account type, and commercial use case |

Get StartedCommon solutions for V-Ray for Maya users
Instead of complex UV mapping, upload your image or use the RENDERCAD overlay tool to snip your screen. Type "Carbon Fiber" in the prompt, select "Exact" style, and in about 10-60 seconds, the AI will retexture your image realistically.
Snap a picture using the RENDERCAD overlay. Select the "Realistic" engine, set Condition to "Clean," and prompt "Brushed Aluminum." The AI applies the texture orientation correctly to your geometry.
Don't struggle with refraction settings. Upload your image or snip your view with RENDERCAD, set Style to "Creative," and prompt "Clear Glass." The engine handles transparency and light bending automatically.
Upload a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing to RENDERCAD Studio. Add "Cold beverage with condensation" to your custom prompt. The "Realistic" engine will generate realistic droplets on the surface.
Use the RENDERCAD overlay. Prompt for "Injection Molded Plastic" and in Advanced Settings, set Condition to "Clean" for a smooth, factory-fresh look.
You don't need texture maps. Upload your image or snip your screen with RENDERCAD, then set Advanced Settings > Condition to "Dirty" or "Heavily Used" to instantly apply rust and age.
Capture your model and prompt "Oak Wood" in RENDERCAD. The Image-to-Image engine generates a unique, non-repeating grain pattern that fits your object's form.
Upload your image or snip your screen. In RENDERCAD, prompt "Polished Gold" and set Background to "Grey" or "Gradient." The AI generates the necessary reflections to simulate a metallic surface.
No need for bump maps. Use the RENDERCAD overlay to capture the view, then prompt "Black Leather." The AI interprets the depth and stitching automatically.
Capture your screen and use the custom prompt "Glowing Neon Blue Lights." The AI paints the bloom and light spill directly onto your image.
While RENDERCAD generates full rectangular images, you can set the Background to "White" or "Grey" in Advanced Settings for easy masking in post-production.
Upload your image or snip the model, then prompt for "Denim," "Cotton," or "Velvet." RENDERCAD applies the weave texture naturally over the surface.
