hello freinds of 3D!

1st: Does VRay support High Dynamic Range Imaged Based Lightning - HDRI ?

2nd: VRay will support MAya in future - is there any deadline we know ?

3rd: Is VRay absolut free for non commercial use ?

thx for every little info,
best wishes,
bernhard

1: yes it supports HDRI
2: yes it will be ported but i dont know a deadline
3: there is vray free which you can use for free but it has less options than the full version.

1) Oh yeah!
2) Hopefully.
3) There are several versions of VRay: the Basic and Advanced versions are obviously NOT free, but there is also a Demo version that has some features disabled (saving etc.) but it contains ALL FEATURES of the Advanced version. And then there's a Free version where saving etc. is enabled BUT it doesn't contain the advanced features. The Demo and VRay Free are -- well, free
For more info, see VRay homepage...

thx

that sounds really good . Hope that the support for Maya doesn´t take too long - would be great if it would be available now.



thx for the infos,
