New V-Ray feature revealed

[Dschaga]

eh .. now i'm confused.. in the bug forum are some messages which count the vray versionnumber 1.45?????
Did i miss 1.1 or something?
I'm busy and can't follow all discussions, so i was suprised about that... btw, is it the minority who don't have 1.45 yet?

Yeah Chris, you've missed the underground release of the internal beta version ... which was only provided by request to a limited number of registered users willing to help in working out the bugs

and that definitely blows!

Vlado, you've mentioned something a while ago about "marking" each download with some kind of reference number, so that if the pirated version is released you can track it back to the original customer ... it wouldn't be a bad idea to try it on one of the betas

because it's obvious now that even some of registered user don't respect your work and the effort you put into creating a leading rendering software

unfortunately because of those people we all will suffer, cause now instead of paying more attention to the new features and improvements, v-ray team has to think about better protection scheme

1.45.20 is the current internal build, as you can see in some of the posted screenshots, and on the evermotion forum. They were offering it to all registered users, but after it was leaked to pirates (probably by someone who reads this forum ) I guess they had to reconsider that policy.

Hi Tony, i know about the internal release and was wondering why everyone want to have it AND doesn't understand that begging for it and the reaction of vlado to send ppl that version may slow down the work for the next offical release. ..kind of stupid...

well ..pirated internal release... it's a wast of energy to even talk about it.


AND NOW, again ...1.09 (-> 1.1?) -> 1.45 ??? what do i miss?

Is it the promised free upgrade to 1.1 or will we have to charge for a upgrade. ...

Are there that many *KEY* features to give it a .45 ... well displacement object (fur) looks good, proxyobjects too, but is it in the stage that it could be used in production and is it that huge step to give it a .45?

[egz]

You didn't miss anything.
I'm sure the version numbering will be explained, though considering all the added stuff I can understand that the next release is really versioned closer to 1.5 than 1.1

sorry did I missed something but...

Everybody can find and download a cracked version of Vray 1.45 but registrated user are not allowed to download because they are suspicious to be pirates???

Maybe you should change something here...

It's more like "everyone" can find and download 1.45 because one of the registered users that got access to the build supplied it to the pirates. Being a registered user doesn give us the right to access to internal versions, they were jusst being nice. However, being nice and giving us early access to the new version backfired, so I have no problem understanding that giving more people access to the build, authorizing etc. (all of this takes time) is not exactly first priority at the moment.

A bit too late now isn't it? But keeping internal builds more tight should solve the problem I guess.

Being a registered user doesn give us the right to access to internal versions, Chaos were just being nice.

i´m honest. although i love vray and it´s still my no. 1 tool, i miss more and more a finished package. all the changes, all the new stuff which are nice but always seems to be in progress. we all knew from the beginning that vray is somkind of a permanent beta and we users are a part of the progress. this have some advantages but more and more disadvantages. fur genarator is nice, but photons f.e. which is a mighty tool has so many points which must be improved....but for month nothing. DR doesn´t work in max 6 etc etc. and with every new version something´s not working anymore. two steps ahead, one step back. this is not what i expected. don´t get me wrong, vlado and the whole team do great work....but i´m honest. for another project i had to work with fR and i had to learn fR very deep. and i must say, this is really a perfect package. gi is not all, and even gi in fR is nearly the same like in vray. everybody who say it´s not, didn´t learn fR. i had my doubts about fR but now i have more doubts about vray...this is very hard for me to say. fR gives me control and possibilities over things which i never had in vray....and i started to believe this is normal. no, this can be handled better....and i pray that vray learn from fR the same way cebas stole from vray. till then i use fR more and more in my productions....it´s really a pleasure to work with fR at the moment because there are many many things possible vray can´t do. okay, displacement and fur is great in vray, but all the rest (and now including most parts of gi) work better in fR. don´t get me wrong, i don´t want to switch ...i just tell you my very personal impression. i´m not marries to a tool, i want to use the best one for my work..that´s all.....and i hope that in the near future vray is able to present a finished, stable product with no suprises....

[metroberlin]

to say it again: i don´t want slag the great work of chaosdimension !!! in contrast !! i just had the impression that there are too many things in progress at the same time....

[freak]

i totally understand what ur sayin mertroberlin.........there had been a time when i tried so many ways to test which is better brazil/vray...but of course...i chose vray........now u said fR gives u lot more controls and possiblilties......can u list some?

btw, isn fR much slower than vray in terms of everything ? y gi in fR is better? in what ways???

ps: i am sure suurland switch from fR to vray for a reason...
