V-Ray 3.50 beta 1 available for download

[ramy02]

Are there plans to add maxscripts with the 3.5 install to support 3dsmax built in scene converter?

I'm using 3.5 to setup some lighting on a shot, am I missing something that when using IPR you can't lock it to a viewport? (I've tried the lock button at the top of render setup)

What I'm trying to do is move some lights while the render updates but when selecting the lights in another viewport it starts rendering that viewport instead.


Cheers

Where is beta 2?

IPR is good, but not much stable . When I start some complex scene, its ok, but after some simple changes after few minutes it crash, no matter what.

It would be very helpful if you can get me some more specific reproduction steps with scenes. Alex_M for example has been extremely helpful for reporting IPR issues and providing scenes and we fixed his issues, but I have no idea if any of them are the same as yours and if beta 2 will fix them.

Hi Vlado,

Is it intentional that you can't lock IPR to a single viewport?

Will the Max2017 Blended Box Map be supported or will the triplanar mapping get some visual feedback in the viewport? Maybe as a gizmo?

Will get to it for the final release.

I'm not sure what you mean? The Max blended box map works as it is.

We don't have plans for this.

Oh okay - doesn't work for me - can't see it in the viewport and RT reports it as unsupported. Let me do some more testing and I'll open a problem thread if I have no joy.

Hi, I wrote mail to Vlado about some problems I got some times ago. But what I mean now is just crashes. I cant say what to do to crash. I just work with IPR and after a while it crash, I only change color or texture. And second time it didnt crash, so I cant say.

But now I realize it crash when I scrubing timeline too, thats for sure. Maybe I can reproduce it and send you a scene. I will look at it when I have time.

Hi,
You can send the problematic scene file for investigation to support@chaosgroup.com. We will test and see if the crash is reproducible.

Just a short question out of curiosity: Does IPR automatically lower the subdivs of the LC for faster preview? If not, would it make sense to set it to maybe 1/10th of the final subdivs?

It sets them just enough to cover the entire image, or the specified subdivs value, whichever is lower.

Thanks for the info.
Just installed Beta 2, the matte shadow crash is fixed. And thank you for the shadow catcher button, you can not believe what a click saver this is!
