V-Ray Next, Beta 1

[richard_rosenman]

I would like to add my support on this as well. We were on Max 2009 up until last year (!) and to be honest, the only reason I upgraded was because models purchased from Turbosquid were increasingly difficult to support in 2009. Right before they implemented their rental policy I upgraded to 4 perpetual cuts of Max 2016. Llike others have mentioned, I will NOT be jumping on the Autodesk rental scheme anytime soon (or ever). I will probably stick with Max 2016 indefinitely and the only thing stopping that would be third party plugins like VRay that stop supporting older versions. For that reason, I too encourage you to consider this in and provide version of VRay for older versions of Max.

Like most users around the globe, I too am not a fan of Autodesk. I do not intend to give them money annually for features I do not want nor need.

We're still on Max 2014/Vray3.5 for Production. Can I savely install VrayNext for max 2017 without interrupting my 2014 installation ?

I have a similar situation here Max 2014 / Vray 3.6 and yes, while Vray Next is beta and there are still some compatibility issues, especially with Forest Pack Pro etc. I decided to try it, by installing it on a different version of Max, so I can at least check it out, though have been so busy this month, I haven't really had a chance to play with it much. So again, yes you can install it on Max 2017 without interrupting your Max 2014 installation.

Turn off your computer, close your eyes and take several long deep breaths, maybe go for a walk. All good things come to those who wait

[garth100]

That would be good. But that?s where the day dream start.

FACT:.. Those who day dream, tend to be more creative than those who don't, so not a bad thing
