A major performance leap that introduced the V-Ray Denoiser and hybrid (CPU + GPU) rendering. vray all versions list
The complete list of VRay versions from 2001 to 2025 shows a steady trajectory from a CPU-only GI renderer to a hybrid, AI-accelerated, cross-platform production engine. As of 2025, VRay 7 represents the state of the art with neural caching and full USD pipeline integration. For legacy pipeline maintenance, versions 2.40 through 3.70 are still used in VFX facilities, while VRay 5+ dominates architecture and product design. This chronological version list serves as a definitive reference for render engineers, historians, and artists requiring backward compatibility data. | Version | Date | Core Innovation |
