Correct, Aeround November 10th. But i have spoken to someone at the company and they sounded like it will be released publicly, but then the website looks like it will just be able to sell the Alpha in a couple weeks. So its a little confusing. But from what i read im already really looking forward to it. Regardless if the render is faster or slower then vray, i HATE messing with settings, it really breaks up the artistic workflow. So to me if its a little slower during the render and produces the same result, then id rather save some time by not having to fiddle with settings.
i must say, i'm also becoming slightly annoyed.
1.45 is a good version but i want to use DR again.
it also doesn't help to never get a response when asking for a beta version, while everyone and their mother posts 1.46 pics.
Long John,
actually i didn't mean you with being annoying. sorry if my post wasn't clear...my english skills are quite limited.
what i tried to say is that i'm also a bit pissed of right now, because things take so long.
obviously the priority is on the standalone version or some other unreleased products.
while the testers try to imply it, i just don't see vlado working full time on fixing bugs for 1.5, for many months. i know that programming is far more time consuming than many realise, but it's not that big of a step.
i guess other things have priority now. i'd be calmer if i would get access to the internal betas, even if they crash and are slow, but what can you do.
i talk with vlado every day and he is always working on this bug or that bug for 1.5 or adding a new feature. they are not focusing on the exe.

For my part, I think we have enough great features !!
Can´t those features just wait till version 2 ?
I can´t understand why new features are added if old features
still do not work a 100%. I see new features like an optimized fast skylight.
Who does really need this ? Vray is allready incredible fast !
Or vray fur... I haven´t seen fur beeing used by anything other than grass wich didn´t look much better than displaced or instanced grass.
Meanwhile other things are ignored (or at least I didn´t get an exact answer if something will change)
like there is still no native support for skin/morph modifier. Ok there
is that point cache "solution" ... but this is not a solution.. it´ an accident waiting to happen.
It´s still not possible to render more than 3 million polys inside max
(sometimes a non-animateable vray proxy is not usable).
And I´m slowly really annoyed of seeing "toys"
beeing implemented
instead of these more than essential things.
I think just a little statement from the devolpers would help a lot.
The last official reason for the delay I remember is now 1 year ago
and was caused by max6 btw Distributed Rendering.
So I must assume that all the time was spend into that bug ?!
Did discreet change so much that it took 1 year to fix that DR
bug ?
I guess not ?!
So come on Vlado, it´s time to calm us down !!
Tell us something what is going on.
Give us at least a rough (but realistic) date of the final
release. Please give us detailed information on bugfixes
and new features (difference between 1.45 and final 1.5)
What caused the long delay if it´s not the exe project ?
I can´t believe there were so many bugs in 1.09 that it would
take 1 year to fix them. There must be tons of new features ?
Vray is still the best renderer i can imagine so please don´t make the same fault like "another company" did. Or we will soon see news like
"30% discount on maxwell for vray users".
For my part, I think we have enough great features !!
Can´t those features just wait till version 2?
Yes they can wait, and they will. Currently there are no new features being added, as the 1.5 features have been frozen. Vlado is only working on finishing the existing features, re-implementing rewritten versions of old features that didn't work perfectly (like texture baking and DR) and fixing bugs. The features we see in 1.46.03 are the same as 1.5 will have, only with the last fixes. This is the only way to get 1.5 out of the perpetural beta state.
like there is still no native support for skin/morph modifier. Ok there is that point cache "solution" ... but this is not a solution.. it´ an accident waiting to happen. It´s still not possible to render more than 3 million polys inside max (sometimes a non-animateable vray proxy is not usable).
This has been discussed to death in other threads. Lots of people use skin and morph with VRay all the time. If specific scenes are crashing for you you must send a scene to Vlado so that they can fix it. They can't fix the bug if they can't reproduce it. If skin/morph crashed VRay for me here I would have sent a scene to Vlado a long time ago. Unfortunately(!) those modifiers don't crash or cause problems here.
