Sign in

Go to the V-Ray download page and sign in with your mail address.

Software download

Once signed in, you will find the download link for V-Ray. By default, the correct OS (Windows/Mac) will be selected. If you want to change you can change your selection in the lower right corner.

Installer

Mac OS

Upon downloading, you will receive a dmg installation file. Double-clicking it opens the initial window for installation. Make sure that SketchUp (or ArchiCAD/Vectorworks/Rhino/etc) is completely closed when installing V-Ray. If SketchUp (or any of the other applications) is not closed, V-Ray will not install correctly. After completing the installation, V-Ray will be found in SketchUp as a toolbar.

Note; V-Ray can also be found in the Apps folder. However, V-Ray is always launched from within SketchUp and not as a separate application. There is no need to attach V-Ray to the Dock.

Windows

Upon downloading, you will receive an exe installation file. Start this installation with “Administrator rights”. You do this by starting the installation with the right mouse button and choosing the “Run as administrator” option. Make sure that SketchUp (or Revit/ArchiCAD/Vectorworks/Rhino/etc) is completely closed when installing V-Ray. If SketchUp (or any of the other applications) is not ditched, V-Ray will not install correctly. After completing the installation, V-Ray will be found in SketchUp as a toolbar.
