Hi maya at,

No, there isn't, but you can convert the ArchiCAD project to a rendering program, like
Artlantis (http://www.artlantis.com/),
Cinema4D (http://www.graphisoft.com/products/arch ... cinema_4d/), or
3ds Max (http://archicadwiki.com/3DStudio).

It would be really great tho.

Export ... not convert

there's an ArchiCAD rendering API so it would be possible, but I'm not sure the market for it would be big enough for Chaos group (VRAY) to do it...

V-Ray for ArchiCAD would be great.

I think Revit with V-Ray vs. ArchiCAD with CineRender is going to be an interesting comparison over the next year or so.

Will we have Vray as an option for Archicad by any chance? are you guys considering to bring those goodies?

You guys are definitely all in the wrong place.
Those inquiries should be targeted at Chaosgroup.

They would make it happen if there is enough demand. But I highly doubt that GS will ask them ;)

There is Octane Render plugin for Archicad to do this without any export :

It does not deals with the same aim
Archicad include CineRender to give a way of create simple best picture than Archicad Render
If you want to compare you might compare OctaneRender/Archicad to Vray/Revit
