Soooo... when is the big reveal!?

As seen here: https://www.facebook.com/events/368494766874014/

"Special surprise addition to Algorithmic Accessories V2.0. Guest tutor, Yavor Stoykov of @chaosgroup will introduce the new V-Ray for Grasshopper3d plug-in!"

V-Ray for Grasshopper3d sounds awesome no matter what it is.... Any news, would love to know what's in store for us!?....

There are components in the current beta installer, they are installed in: C:\Program Files\Chaos Group\V-Ray\V-Ray 3.4 for Rhinoceros 5

You will have have to manually install and/or update in Grasshopper.

Can't believe it was right under my nose!

Any documentation/further info? I've played around with it but can't really figure out whats going on here...

Thanks for the info Matt!

It is a side project / WIP item at this point so documentation is limited. Do you have a sample use-case you are looking to do with this tool?

Nothing particular in mind - I'm just a massive fan of grasshopper, vray, and of course rhino... so combining these excites me.

I'm guessing this is more for a rendering engine for grasshopper modelling rather than an aid for rendering with vray for rhino?

...I was hoping it was something that it would help with material creation; ala 'slate', animation, batch rendering etc.

Anyway, looking forward to playing with it once I know how it works!
