  • Updating VRayNEXT in middle of BB session

    I've got 50+ jobs in the BB queue, all created with VRayNext 2.1. Would there be any issues by suspending them, upgrade all the nodes to 3.1, and re-activate? Is 3.1 backward compatible? Or is it better to wait until the queue clears out?

    Thanks.

    It's quite possible that you get differences with 3.1 if you are rendering an animation.
    If it was that easy, it would have already been done

      From past experience I can confirm there most likely would be differences as I think there was a change in color space. To keep continuity upgrade after the job but make a note of your render times so you can measure the benefit of 3.1 over 2.1.

        I ended up waiting until after the queue cleared out to do the upgrade. So far, all is running well! Thanks.
