i love the new vray!!!!!!!1

LOL! I was just suggesting (like a few minuets ago) to my director that we switch to the beta version for the rest of this commercial that we're working right now. It seems to be the only way to render with motion blur... Now, I see there is an even better one out. Man! That's to much of a coincidence.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you (now if only I can get DR working)

Gijs: I thought they said something about the change in refractions (glass) from 1.09 to 1.4x is a change to physical accuracy, which would mean the second image is the correct one?

[ngrava]

travistlo and Gijs

Those are great images. There are two things I'm wondering about: Maybe the default number of refracted rays has changed and you just need to up that somewhere and, Are you sure that's actually correct? I mean, It looks neat but it doesn't seem like that would happen in real life. Could be just me though.

i have testing this build on max 7 and
for me it's ok but one day with a complex scene maybe....

[travistlo]

If we have a scene using 1.45.07, is there anything differnt we need to do to use it in 1.46.04? I have an interior scene, using Irr map, and a light map, the light map setting are low, but it is taking a really long time.

I have also noticed that the lightmap takes longer in this version. Same settings as before, so I don't know why.

Install and License

First thanks to the team, have not tested yet but can't wait.

I am experience the following problem on one of my machines. When trying to install VRay I get to the dialog with the Licensing agreement all highlighted in blue, but the Next button is greyed out so I can't install a copy on that machine, why will this be and how can I fix it?

Secondly, Peter stated that all features for version 1.5 has been added now, but will we still have a new licensing scheme with the final release so that we can transfer the license from one machine to the next?

Exciting news

Looks like 1.5 will be one of the greatest Chistmas presents ever. I guess that Vlado and Peter are also looking up to it like that, to have a long-deserved vacation...

It's going to be a great one I think... better start shoppin' soon to put it under the X-mas tree

Make sure you have selected the "I agree" option below the blue text.

Best regards,

The material has changed since 1.09.03 so you need to go through your settings and make sure it is set up the way you want it to be.
If you are using egzVRayGlass you need to install the 1.5 version available from http://VRay.info

I agree

Hi Vlado, there is no such option available when trying to install on this specific machine, so I know what you are talking about and where it should be, but its simply missing.

I can assure that the second image is not physically correct

Well it does. I will post some photographs later

I am quite sure I have tried every setting that would affect this. But I will look through it again and try you new matlib. Thanks.

O.K. an example: (BTW: in my rendering it looked exaggerated because of the total black environment)
