Archilime Academy Courses

Bring your designs to life with a V-Ray license. Benefit from a complete spectrum of visualisation that addresses the specific goals at the different project development stages — from instant real-time to pixel-perfect photorealism.

As power users of V-Ray for over a decade, we know firsthand how essential V-Ray is for creating world-class architectural visualisations. 

Born from our sister company, Archilime Visualisations, the Archilime Academy mirrors the pathway that our very own professional ArchViz artists take in their own development by teaching you, the world builders of tomorrow, how to fulfill your potential to become the best 3D artist you can be.

Over the years, we have been involved in testing early releases, giving educational talks to large audiences, and working with Chaos to create V-Ray scenes that push the software to its limits.

And now, as an official reseller of V-Ray licenses, we’re able to use this accrued knowledge to offer our clients the most complete V-Ray experience, including in-depth training from visualisation professionals, streamlined onboarding, and custom support with licensing.

V-Ray for SketchUp is the go-to rendering solution for architects and 3D artists and is used by 95% of top AEC firms worldwide. 

With physically accurate lighting, materials, and cameras, beginners can use presets for impressive results while professionals have full creative control with advanced parameters. V-Ray eliminates the need for third-party image editing applications with post-processing capabilities. 

The Chaos Cosmos smart 3D content library includes thousands of free render-ready assets, from vegetation to furniture, and adapts to any viewport. V-Ray can take full advantage of hardware and scale across all processors and cores in the system. 

V-Ray’s Academy Award and Emmy-winning technology is consistently ranked as the top visualization tool in the industry and with extensive support for educational deployment, V-Ray is an industry-standard for nearly all design sectors.

What V-Ray license should I choose?

For £538.80 annually (before VAT if you are a UK resident), you’ll have access to the latest version of V-Ray and all the updates and new features as they’re released. Please note that the Premium license allows you to install V-Ray on any machine and also includes a pack of 20 Chaos Cloud credits to help render your projects.

Who are you?

Whether you are an architect, designer or artist, working in large teams or small; V-Ray gives you the power to create visualisations to evaluate, communicate or win approval on designs in your daily work.

With tight schedules and multiple deadlines, you might prefer to keep your workflow inside SketchUp and avoid the time-consuming process of exporting to another application for rendering or post-processing. V-Ray is designed to match SketchUp’s renowned speed and ease-of-use.

With this license, you will pay no maintenance fees, benefit from free technical support and receive free service release updates (often including major new features).

You also have the option to spread the cost into more manageable monthly payments (4x payments in the USA, or 3x in the UK) using PayPal Pay Later at checkout.
