Vray 3.2? MAX 2016 when?

[Vizioen]

Ditto! Question is when will Forestpack and such be compatible with 3.2.

[vlado]

The builds are on the site already, we are just waiting for all mirror servers to synchronize before making the builds visible.

Vlado: Could have waited a couple of hours...

[Rokas]

Vlado: Same here...

vrayspawner.exe can assign separate DR nodes to different processor groups;

This looks interesting, does this mean the spawner can now be start/setup to only use half of CPU when running? My co-workers will appreciate this...

ps: The stereo panoramas are also much appreciated. Looking forward to this!

If the machine is NUMA, then maybe yes (depending on how many NUMA nodes are in one CPU). Otherwise, you can use the VRAY_NUM_THREADS environment variable. Perhaps we should add an option to the spawner for that though.

3.2 is compatible with latest versions of Forest Pack, RailClone, Multiscatter, HairFarm, Ornatrix and I hope many more untested plugins

No; you can use the build for 3ds Max 2015.

...but then I have to uninstall my Vray 2.5 for Max2015. I need to keep Max 2012, 2015, and 2016.

[vlado]

When the first dialog of the uninstaller opens, you can click "cancel". This will stop the uninstaller and the installer will continue without removing the previous installation.

Best regards,
Vlado

Lovely update! Killer feature for me is this:
(*) V-Ray: Speed up of the "transforming vertices" phase in scenes with many objects;

I hit F9 and it almost instantly starts to render, even in scenes with more than 3000 unique objects.
