V-Ray is a 3D rendering software suite developed by Chaos Group, and used in a variety of 3D applications, including Autodesk 3ds Max, Maya, and Rhinoceros 3D. Not only used to create photo-realistic renderings, it is capable of creating animations too. V-Ray has many animation features designed to make the rendering process as simple and intuitive as possible: V-Ray proxy objects, trajectory modifiers, and the V-Ray frame buffer let users create quick, high-quality animations in 3D applications. Additionally, V-Rays network rendering supports HDRI lighting and background environment maps to allow advanced photorealistic animations. V-Ray is a great choice for animators who need to create photorealistic renderings of their work.
