Impressive Bugfix list!
Looks like a lot of work.
But the issue "Subscription Advantage Pack 2012 breaks DR" is still there?

Unfortunately, this is for Autodesk to fix, nothing we can do on our side. From what I know, they fixed it, but I don't know when that fix will be officially available.

Actually, does it even support Max's Hair and Fur? It doesn't seem to work here... Or is it just for Ornatrix?

Works for me...

I wonder about the Environment Variable we created for rendering with the old DMC Sampler of Vray 1.5 to be able to get noise-free and RAM-free renders.
Should we still keep that or is the DMC Sampler in the update working fine?

Please see my reply in the other thread. V-Ray 2.20 produced the same noise levels as V-Ray 1.5 SP6 in all of the tests that I did. However it may still be useful to do a few tests of your own.

Oh well. If anybody got any clue as to how to apply the new hair shader to a standard Max Hair and Fur modifier, it would be very welcome.

Will get you a scene in a moment...

@BBB3: Yes, a tip how it works with standart hair & fur would be great.
@ chaos group: i've not much posts but i'm with you a long time. You guys doing a great job but i cannot understand why you don't make any manual of your product or your nice upgrades. For 2.0 it was just a modification from the (i don't know) 5 years old 1.5 version. I know there are a lot of tutorials but a documentation where all the parameters are explained is much better.

Here is an example scene; not very good, but I hope it is enough for a start: http://www.spot3d.com/vray/scenes/hairfur.zip
