Thank's for the invitation. I love the new UI. Really handy and intuitive. At the next days I will play with it and post more details. The first things I noticed, some of them I posted at the Flying Architecture Forum was:

-Missing guess lens vertical checkbox
-sometimes the mat lib hangs up.. maybe its an internet connection problem
-a detailed tut for V-Ray fur would be great
-the mat lib looks very basic? Is a readymade mat lib planned (concrete, bricks, marble and so on...? What is about a GH integration?
-drag and drop textures into the material slots would be soooo nice. The onboard rhino mat lib has this function. It would be save so much time..
-How does it look like with readymade models and proxies? It would be great As an licensed user to have an access to an huge lib of materials, gras, bushes, trees, leaves, pebbles and some other basic modules?
-Would you like to post a test scene from an arch exterior?

I look forward to your feedback!

Thank you for your feedback!

Missing guess lens vertical checkbox

We have a button in the Extra toolbar to do guess vertical shift

a detailed tut for V-Ray fur would be great

Yes, we are planning tutorials for all the features in the near future.

-the mat lib looks very basic? Is a readymade mat lib planned (concrete, bricks, marble and so on...? What is about a GH integration?

For the final release we are going to be able to have a material library with more than 600 material that cover Product design, architecture, jewelry, automotive design, etc

-drag and drop textures into the material slots would be soooo nice. The onboard rhino mat lib has this function. It would be save so much time..

We had that option already, you can drag and drop texture from your hard drive to any texture map in the material editor. You could also drag and drop texture between textures map. If you right click in any texture map, you can copy and paste the texture. We already have a small GH integration, but you have to do some steps to activate it. Please email support@chaosgroup.com for more details

How does it look like with readymade models and proxies? It would be great As an licensed user to have an access to an huge lib of materials, gras, bushes, trees, leaves, pebbles and some other basic modules?

We are also thinking is having an assets library, but that will take more time to implement it.

How does it look like with readymade models and proxies? It would be great As an licensed user to have an access to an huge lib of materials, gras, bushes, trees, leaves, pebbles and some other basic modules?

I will talk with the guys in the office to see if they have something to share.

Thank's for the fast reply.

-Guess vertical button is back, great
-What is meaned with the mat lib? Is it part of V4R or is needed an extra license? I hope it is included. I saw the VRScans. Where's the difference between the v4r matlib and vrscans? What is about the pricing?
-I love the drag and drop function
-an assets lib would be very important
-Can't wait for the test scene of an arch exterior?

Best Regards! Thank you Fernando

Hi 3dns,

The Material Library is coming. We have over 600 materials and colour variations to make iteration and texturing as simple as possible across multiple industries. The VRScans is a separate service that uses another technology, it is a scanned solution of real materials as opposed to using traditional BRDF's. To my knowledge, the VRScans Library will remain a separate entity from the Material Library coming to V-Ray for Rhino.

Physical Camera as an object ( not only as a render option ) will be great , which will give the opportunity for customization of Vertical correction ( Lens shift ) , Camera Clipping , White balance etc features dedicated for that camera ( Like studio Max Physical camera ) . In that case , multiple camera Batch Rendering will be more comfortable .....

How do I make optimal use of my Titan X nvidia gpu? I have set RT Cuda, but it also still seems to render on my CPU..

Seem that you are having licensing issues. Please, email support@chaosgroup.com

Did you find out a solution to this? I push render as well and nothing happens.
