What do we get when we buy VRay?

[marc_gibeault]

Do we receive a printed manual or is it only in electronic format? Is it consistent and well written?
Are there some tutorials and example files?
How many render nodes do we get? Are they machine-based or CPU-based?

Thanks

ok. lets start with the manual. its only an electronic one for now. not sure if they have future plans for sending out printed versions but all in all its a very informative one and there are tutorials in it as well. its always kept up to date. with vray advanced you get 1 work node with a floating licence. you can use 10 render nodes for distributed rendering. the amount of processors dont matter. so if you can cram 100 processors into 1 computer and have 10 of those all the more power to you . for standard max network rendering you can use unlimited amount of systems. i think the only limit is on windows with its 10 computer limit.


i was going to give the short answer:
Q: What do you get when you purchase vray
A: A kick ass renderer

Thanks for the info. They should put a better description on the web page...

That I already know!
And now that I know there will be a Rhino plug-in... no reason to wait more...
