Vray 2.0

[Sawyer]

I was wondering what 2.0 will look like. I am not in any hurry to get my hands on it but are there any public feature lists? Or is this underwraps for the time being?

[Da_elf]

we will get to 2.0 in about 10 years time i guess. look how long it too from 1.0 to 1.5 hehe and its been an awsome journey

[Sawyer]

Its been a good journey thats for sure. No pressure at all I am merely curious. And I have to give in house presentations sometimes and it does come up. But I don't feel like the package I have is lacking much at all. Maybe more preset materials...

I'm in the secret beta actually and it's about a year off. Rt, vray & pdplayer are now part of the same package under a new interface, and theres a new 'vray material editor' for max which is like nodejoe but better. Rendering is about 20% faster too.

It's pretty good. (no preset materials though)

Nonsense! There's a premium edition too, chaos group send out a couple of eastern european virgins to fan you with big leaves and feed you grapes while you work. Got a little out of hand.


(maybe a couple)

Isn't the Xstream version the one with the virgins? Frankly, i'll forgo the virgins and get the infinite complete pioneer with 6 different modules and animation enabled version.

[Sawyer]

... no I would take the virgins.

[raymarcher]

I would settle for a service pack 4 (and a virgin)

[Da_elf]

id also take sp4 (and someone with experience)

[Sawyer]

Interesting point Da Elf.

How many virgins? 3 virgins = 1 experienced woman?

I want chaosgroup to develop an alternative to Backburner.

The VRay 1.5 service packs have had so many new features that Chaos could easily have released them as point updates. I like to think of VRay SP3 as VRay 1.8

I want chaosgroup to develop an alternative to Backburner.

I thought the same till I tried Deadline, never looked back. Granted there is a "small" cash outlay to start with, but well worth it in the long run. You can waste so much time with backburner errors.

I want Chaos Group to make an alternative to Autodesk.

You have the good - Chaos Group

The Bad - Autodesk

The Ugly - Autodesk

They are all standing in a circle twitching at their guns - who do you think wins ?

Autodesk - because they use a machine they have bought that can blast good companies into a million subdivisions - without antialising and therefore lots of flickering.

If you watch the whole film, Vlados Dad is the CEO of Autodesk.
