Chaos Group has announced a new update to V-Ray for Houdini. New features include:

• Improved export of textures and procedural maps to custom render elements.
• Smooth randomization of textures with support for per-face and per-primitive string attributes.
• Memory-efficient instancing of large hierarchies of objects.
• The ability to isolate selected textures and materials to help debug large shading networks in IPR.
• Drop-down menus for render node and camera selection.
• V-Ray Scene unpacking to enable importing assets from other DCC tools without the need to rebuild materials.
