As a test I rendered 26 million faces and advanced raytrace shadows in scanline, memory usage went over 4GB

general question...

peter,

is 1.5 being developed with 3ds max 7 in mind?
It's just around the corner and I guess you have the Beta SDK and stuff for general compatibility issues. It won't be nice if everybody has to wait for max 7 support of all features of Vray for a few months more...

but I guess that's the main reason you put effort in the EXE version - not to be tossed around by discreet with every new max release...

Good luck, anyway...

Last I hear that the exe is not developed by the Vray team, but for an external developer. This means that it takes little time away from Vray.

I think what is keeping Vray team bussy isgettin getting the extremely complex 1.5 stable enough for release.

This is incorrect, there is no external developer. However, there are other people in Chaos – as in: not Vlado or Peter – working on the .exe.

And the last features and optimizations. DR for instance.
