V-Ray 2.40.04 available for download

[GoncaloP]

No, there are no changes at all, so it's a bit strange as we tested DR before the release. Will try to reproduce it here though.

Got it to work now! Probably I was messing at some point...
Thank you

Hoo..and thanks for changing the EXR saving. It's super speedy in Nuke now ! (that changed my day!)

Does this mean no more having to split out and re-save multi-channel EXRs in Nuke? I remember this being standard practice on a project I worked on in the past.

seems so. tried on 4000px exr (around 6-7 channels) and was super fast in Nuke. With 2.30.04 i still had to resave them to have some speed

Yes, Raw OpenEXR files are now saved with ZIP (1 scanline) compression by default. No need to resave in Nuke.

I can't seem to download the newest version. I get a "internal server error" message instead.

Thanks

Hi
Nice update.
One issue though. I can't save the alphachannel when using rt gpu on 3ds 2013.
And Rt cpu has no alpha at all

Hi Nikand,

Unfortunately we don't have this resolved for the latest V-Ray 2.40.04 release. Still working on support for the alpha channel in RT.
