I'm downloading now...and without test it I want to say "thank you" everyone envolved in this awaited (for many reasons) FREE sp, both developers and testers that helps to sort out the bugs...

And now...go to play with our new toys!

thanks you a lot guys!!!


EDIT: installed and quick test with the adaptive lights... half render times with more or less the same quality...

Cpu mode feels really fast! My Gtx 1080 is only about 33% faster than my i7-6700K 4Ghz in bruteforce scenes.
Thanks for including lense distortion on gpu.

Found a bug:
Toon shade doesn't work if type=orthographic is on in "camera"(Renderdialog).

Maybe a dumb question, but I'm going to ask. IPR mode is Pregressive as production renderer, correct? I asked before, but I was told, not really.

With 3.5, I had an SSS material, in my scene, which caused my render prepass to stall for about 1/2 hour at which time I killed it. After removing the SSS material, the scene rendered nice and fast.

I was thinking the same thing this morning CPU vs GPU. I was about to buy a GTX 1080 but now I am gonna buy more Ram instead.

Can someone point me in the direction of the pause/resume render feature...I'm having trouble finding it, or documentation about it. TIA

Holy crap just did a test between V-Ray 3.4 on 3dsmax 2016 and the bedroom image that I posted the other day and rendered it at 1920x1080 and it took 31min 17.9sec on my laptop, then installed 3.5.03 and re rendered it with all the same settings and it came in at 17min 30.8sec !! Thank you Chaos, you still continue to blow my mind after all these years. Below are the two images

Thank you, I was looking for the option in RT, thus my confusion. Also, I overlooked the tutorial.

We are still working on the RT part, it was a bit more complicated.

Maybe a dumb question, but I'm going to ask. IPR mode is Progressive as production renderer, correct?

Bobby, Interactive Production Renderer is just any production renderer mode you have chosen, but it will work interactively.

So if you have chosen Progressive, it will be Progressive. If you have chosen Bucket, it will be Bucket. Most folks will likely choose the Progressive mode while working with IPR as it more easily lets you see the changes and render progress as you work.
