Install 3DS MAX 2011 with VRay 1.5 R4a?

[glorybound]

I don't see it.

[muoto]

it was a question, not a statement

[glorybound]

yes, I got that.

I saw your question on my smart phone driving in, racing past all the lights wanting to download before the bottle neck, to find nothing. I have gotten rid of Vista x64 and upgraded to WiIN 7 x64. I have downloaded and installed MAX 2011, but the last part of the puzzle is missing. I am hoping the new software will solve a lot of my Vista issues.

[tryharder]

so it´ll be released today ?

[jstrob]

YES! I happen to need it now!

[muoto]

i guess it take some time to test all the html pages/links/files before releasing it to the open ...

[glorybound]

downloading it now

[claude_tnt]

I'm already testing it, one thing I've noticed right off the bat is that Max 2011 is using almost 1GB more ram than Max 2009 is. I haven't tested this on anything else yet and I don't know if Max was doing this before I installed Vray, can anyone else confirm this?

the release of rt is stopping me to go full 2011 , i guess i have to wait a little more

Nothing has changed in V-Ray in that regard (it doesn't really do much on startup).

Wow, almost a Gig more, thats a heavy penalty.

(*) Support for reflection occlusion in VRayDirt;
(*) Support for environment sampling in VRayDirt;

Here are numbers on my machine (Windows Vista 64-bit) for 3ds Max 2011 64-bit:

V-Ray not loaded: Working set = 612,580 K; Private working set = 436,620 K
V-Ray loaded: Working set = 626,612 K; Private working set = 444,856 K
