V-Ray 2.0 introduced several tools that standardized the professional rendering workflow in SketchUp:

In the Adaptive DMC rollout, set to 0.01 for draft and 0.005 for final print. Lower threshold = cleaner image (but longer render time).

Simplified the creation of artifact-free, image-based lighting using HDR images, improving both quality and setup speed.

A revolutionary engine providing instant feedback, allowing users to make lighting and material decisions on the fly.
