3dsMax 2021

We are working on updating the viewport code for the V-Ray materials so yes, we will support this at some point soon.

Best regards,
Vlado

Vlado, will that include support for all the many OSL shaders? And what about the 3ds max Physical Material? It would be nice to see either some compatability with this material or an update to the vray material to include a similar variety of presets.

I bet another +10% higher upgrade cost for perpetual licenses compared to last year... as per usual. I just hope Chaos hurries up with the release of Vray for Blender 2.8x.

so agree with you !!!

All OSL work with VRay already. VRayGPU is different story. IAFAIK, No GUP renderer has complete support for OSL because OSL is CPU based.
VRay also already can render Physical material. It is just slower. But, Vlado said he will make it faster.

Can VrayHDRI loader adjust the vertical height of the HDRI the same way the new OSL HDRI loader can? It appears to work without any cropping. That's nice.

Why not just use the OSL map? It is fully compatible with VRay.

Is it possible to install the vray next 2020 release for max 2021?

I just got off a call with our reseller. They said that the upgrade to Max 2021 will cost us another +20% more per license compared to last year. LOL! "Thanks", Autodesk for showing your true colors and making the lives of your long time clients (we've been one for 10 years now) "easier" in hard times. When most other companies and people make concessions by freezing and even offering promotional prices to loyal long-term clients in the current unprecedented global situation, you're always there to jack them up instead. I've "never" doubted that you have our best interest at heart! I really think you should spend our money on a new mega yacht rather than better software development. Treat yourself, you deserve it!

which companies are offering the promo prices?

[Alex_M]

We've received such from Affinity Photo and BricsCAD.

It's how Autodesk works !
make money.... nothing else really matters

When I open old scenes I get a ParamBlock2 error. It seems to relate to berconmaps/tile. When I remove the plugin, the old scenes start normally.
Anyone else got that issue?

Does anyone have problem saving in 3dsmax 2021. in 2020 when clicking ctrl+s it was saving in the background now in 2021 it always open save window. How to make it save in background?

Works fine here. You can assign the proper hotkey again through the "Hotkey Editor" in "Customize".

Hotykey is assigned correctly but whenever I hit ctr+s the saving file window is opening and it's not saving in the background.
