V-ray for rhino; educational version.

[cjs33139]

Hi everyone,

Happy Holidays!

I was about to purchase the educational version of V-Ray for Rhino from Novedge.com (strictly for school use and to render my Rhino models for my portfolio) but was wondering if anyone has it and if there is a watermark limitation?

I called Novedge and their rep insists there is one, but there is no mention of the watermark limitation anywhere on their page or on Chaosgroup's website either. So then I contacted V-Ray (Chaosgroup) and they got back to me. Chaosgroup actually said that there wasn't a watermark on the educational version?! So now I am confused.

I figured I'd double-check with a current actual user of Vray for Rhino Educational. Anyone know? Is there a watermark on renderings on your academic version?

Thanks guys.

They are swapping from asgvis to chaosgroup so probably there's some changes in action...
Best is to apply for the new V1.5 Beta, it's lot better has the RT module and much more, and it's free for a couple of month.
Then wait to understand better the new educational policy.

Thanks for the reply but I also dont want to wait too long because I will not qualify for the educational discount as I graduate soon!

Anyone else know if there is a watermark on the academic version?

no, there's no water mark. When do you graduate? You might want to wait for the new version to be released if you can though, it should only be a couple more months.
