Still waiting for Maya support

[bigcheez]

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the all the talk about VRay supporting Maya is bogus. It has been over 7 months since anything official has been posted from Chaotic regarding future Maya support. I'm tired of waiting around to get this capability in my native app, Heck I'm tired of waiting to hear an update. I've started looking into Turtle and Finalrender. Both have made a lot of improvements recently and actually care about Maya users.

Maybe I'll take another look once Chaos stops ignoring the Maya base.

Great renderer, but missing the boat...

First wait for final release of v1.5 for max.

so your saying you can purchase finalrender right now for maya?

you can purchase Turtle right now. Hell.. you can test drive the Turtle beta. That's something that you can't do with VRAy for Maya because they won't do it. They'll gladly give their hands and feet to Max uers. Sorta reminds me of the Glu3D people.... Max is always first.. always will be. Maya users will always be second rate. Think about that before buying into this hype.

why wait?

[photonC]

Because Max users are currently paying clients, and they been waiting too long for this release, also I gon't think thwy'll be too happy to see time devoted to other app while they still have some bugs and a long wishlist.

[bigcheez]

don't want the money

The thing is, we paid like over 10 grand for our 12 cpu licenses of mentalray. We pay over 3 grand a year for support. I would gladly pay exactly the same if not more for maya support of vray, but they don't care to pay attention to this market. They throw away the money by not supporting maya.

That wasn't my question. I was referring to finalrender. Right there in my quote. Finalrender.

I hope maya users have to wait twice as much as max users have waited for 1.5 to be released, .

[percydaman]

haha do you have any idea how wrong that statement is industry wide? Since when have maya users been considered second rate to max users?

[Nenad]

I believe he was trying to say that, as Max has a bigger community than Maya, it will always have more eligible clients in the plugin market.

What I think is that the Chaos team is keeping concentrated on making 1.5 really stable. They're on their ultimate bug hunt right now, no more adding fancy features, only working on stability. Then, once 1.5 is released, they'll be able to move serenely to other apps. Imho, they've made the right decision.
