Los Angeles, USA - 10 August 2012
A few hundred Chaos Group friends gathered together at Smog Shoppe to celebrate V-Ray’s 10th Anniversary. The evening began with a retrospective of V-Ray work provided by Stash Magazine, the story of how Peter Mitev and Vladimir Koylazov founded the company, and the announcement of two new products - V-Ray for Nuke and V-Ray for Katana.
Event sponsors, The Foundry, NVIDIA, and Fox Renderfarm shared their latest developments, followed by a showcase of award-winning work by customers Digital Domain, Pixomondo,COPA, a52, and Blur.

Next, the winners of CGSociety’s V-Ray Anniversary Challenge were revealed, and the first big surprise of the evening occurred when the V-Ray All Stars were called on stage and awarded a GOLDEN DONGLE containing a lifetime license of all Chaos Group products.
The V-Ray All Stars shared a surprise of their own, playing a video they created to commemorate V-Ray’s 10th Anniversary called V-Ray in Real Life.
