VRay 5 for 3ds Max yearly - upgrade to Full Collection

[Morne]

Hi Guys

If a person is on a current yearly subscription for VRay 5 for 3ds Max for $470, what would the cost be to upgrade that to the FULL Collection?

Hello Morne,

Thank you.

I understand you may have better deals for bulk sales and larger volumes of licenses. This is a generic question for a single person. The question on the form will be the same. If you guys just answer here, then the next person with same question will have their answer.

Unless you have different pricing for different countries or running specials in certain countires, I see no reason everything should be so secretive.

I found this page which makes things a little clearer: (scroll down about halfway down the page)

Hmm, interesting, though it makes it only a little clearer, as it states that 369.09 gbp price is billed annually, which is only marginally more expensive than just Vray itself.
I would guess it should say that that cost is in addition to the already billed yearly Vray sub...or am I wrong?
Possibly a silly question as it seems too good to be true

With a fresh sub, maybe?

• Any unused portion of the current annual license will be credited towards the purchase of V-Ray Collection.

Maybe I'm mistaken but the figures didn't seem to take into account me personally. I will need to check again
and maybe ask support to clarify.
I want to upgrade but need to know precisely what the deal would be without running the risk of overpayment.
I almost did that with the Max renewal; and I am of course not in any way comparing Chaos's approach with that of AD...just want to be sure .
AD's is just plain wrong and bordeline criminal imo

I did this last year. I just emailed support and asked what the cost would be. They said the amount left on my annual Vray license would offset X amount on the collection cost....I forget what the amount was but I paid the difference. It was pretty easy I was happy with the cost.

Certainly looks like a good deal in any case, as long as I can recoup from one or two jobs.
Anybody need any waves?

Actually it was the scans I was rather interested by, though there doesn't seem to be a full up-to-date list of them anywhere that I could see.
Is there, or can I request one please?

Just log in, you should have no issue browsing and downloading the scan files from https://download.chaosgroup.com/vrscans

Ah ok, excellent, thanks Lele.
