V-Ray Vision (real-time raytraced preview) is supported on macOS, but performance varies:
Third-party render managers (e.g., Deadline, Royal Render) have limited macOS support for V-Ray. Deadline’s macOS client exists but is not officially certified for V-Ray for SketchUp.
Enter . Chaos Group (now Chaos) has fundamentally changed the game. With the transition to Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, and M4 chips) and native Metal support, V-Ray on a Mac is no longer a compromise—it is a professional powerhouse.
Open SketchUp. You will see the V-Ray toolbars pinned to your interface, ready for use. Optimization Tips for macOS Users
Previous versions required third-party plugins to scatter grass or trees. Chaos Scatter now runs natively on Mac. You can populate a meadow with 10,000 instances of grass without lag because V-Ray uses "instancing" (referencing the same geometry in memory rather than copying it).
To get the absolute best performance out of V-Ray while working on a Mac, implement these workflow habits:
V-Ray supports the most recent versions of SketchUp Pro and Studio. Always ensure your V-Ray version matches your SketchUp installation.
: V-Ray Vision offers a lightweight "game engine" viewer to see lighting and material updates instantly as you work.
If the toolbar doesn’t appear, go to SketchUp > Preferences > Extensions and ensure V-Ray is enabled.
