It's coming a bit later this week; improvements will include support for Bitmap tiling parameters, ability to stop the render after a specified number of passes, support for the fog parameters of VRayMtl, support for area shadows from VRayIES lights.

I think that RT gpu needs a lot of work, and I'm happy to see and use a release that will have all vray cpu features except for third party plugins i use. (multiscatter, forest pack, dreamscape)

I'm satisfied about Vray, it does everything I need (for 3d graphics), using now RT gpu beta I'm satisfied at 30% because I can't use it profesionally and because it's the beta.

I don't think that in 2 months RT gpu will have all the necessary opencl code that we are asking for. I prefer to wait months for a mature RT gpu release.

Playing now with beta will make me dream...

These features are quite complicated to do on the GPU, so they won't be included in the initial release of V-Ray RT GPU. It relies on physical accuracy much more than the CPU version to produce the final image.

Ouch ;O Now thats a bad news for me... so RT GPU wont be too much help for me, however how about the Vray production GPU render? Will it support it?

Hi,
I think Vray Rt is fantastic, it helps tune materials and lighting tremendously. for me right now, there is no other way of finding these special "moments" when a highlight appears or shadows hit an object in a special way. In my opinion, it's best at these things and shouldn't be considered for actual production yet. I mean we've got Vray for that!
Right now my most missed feature is support for the Color Correct map in the GPU version. I use that in most of my materials and can't use RT GPU in my scenes for that reason. Although my current scene is very heavy, I'm itching to push my new investment (Quadro 4000 + 6core i7 X980@4.21Ghz ) to the test!
