Included the Hosek sky model with atmospheric haze and faster volume environment fog for realistic outdoor lighting and god rays.
The updated Dirt map allows for more complex procedural texturing, enabling artists to easily create dirt streaks and weathered edges, adding realism without manual texture painting. Windows Performance and Optimization
The VFB in 3.6.0 offers:
For architectural interiors, utilize Brute Force for primary bounces and Light Cache for secondary bounces. Set the Light Cache Subdivs to around 1000–1500 for fast, flicker-free global illumination animations. Chaosgroup Vray for C4D 3.6.0 R18 to R19 Win

: This maximized hardware investments, allowing older workstations to utilize all available processing threads alongside modern GPU upgrades. Core Features of V-Ray 3.6.0 for C4D 1. Advanced Light Path Expressions (LPEs)
Since Chaos Group has moved to a subscription model (V-Ray 6 as of 2025), you won’t find version 3.6.0 on their main portal. However:
This specific installer targeted two crucial versions of Cinema 4D on Windows: Feature/Environment Cinema 4D R18 Compatibility Cinema 4D R19 Compatibility Standard interactive viewport previews.
The transition from Cinema 4D R18 to R19 brought several native improvements that V-Ray 3.6 leverages:
