Adaptive variable rate shading

Increase rendering performance and quality by varying the shading rate for different regions of the frame.

GPU Raytracing on the graphic card

Switch easily between CPU and GPU Raytracing for maximum flexibility between hardware choices.
VRED Stream and Streaming App

Stream Render window content with UI controls to a web browser, desktop, or mobile device.

VRED 2020

Cryptomatte renderpass

Easily eliminate the tricky issue of automatically generating consistent ID mattes from render.
Python constraints

Create, remove, and search for constraints in your scene. Change them, and change target weights.
Rounded edges in raytracing

The shader effect modifies the shading normal near edges to give the appearance of round edges.
VRS supported viewing

Leverage VRS for foveated and content adaptive rendering in virtual reality with Eye tracking.
SPEOS-generated Rayfiles

Enables hyper-realistic visualizations of vehicle interiors and exteriors with highly accurate lighting simulation.
Camera/backplate matching

Perspective match adjusts the camera viewpoint so the backplate image matches the scene.
Catia axis system import

Import additional axis systems from Catia, then create a transformation group with hidden coordinates.
Substance source web shop

Small web browser toolbar lets you access, download, and use substance materials directly in VRED.
