Officially, we'll have the builds at the end of April. However if you are in desperate, urgent and dire need for them, please email us to vray@chaosgroup.com and we can get them to you sooner than that.
hehe.. i wonder how many people here will suddenly develop a desperate urgent and dire need?! i can feel a client about to call for a project that needs massfx coming on right about....now!
Hi Vlado,
will the neet features of nitrous display work with vray materials and standard maps within vray materials, vray lights etc??
Thanks for your reply
All the best
argh, what a pitty to have to wait till end of april.
but anyway, maybe we juste need to wait for SP1 of 3dsmax 2012 anyway, just to correct all the bugs
I meant that some of our materials and textures don't yet have a proper MetaSL representation in the Nitrous viewport (although they will have some basic representation, like in the DirectX viewports); right now we have coded the VRayMtl, VRayLightMtl, VRayBlendMtl, VRayOverrideMtl materials and the VRayColor textures since they appear to be the most used ones. The V-Ray lights work to the extent that they can be represented with standard or photometric 3ds Max lights. These also work with the Quicksilver renderer. We also have some problems getting proper bump mapping on these materials (although it works to some extent), but this seems to be a limitation of the current Nitrous API.
On the whole, I think it works pretty well though, and we'll cover the remaining areas gradually as well.
[QUOTE=vlado;454603]Mostly it will work, yes, but only for the V-Ray 2.0 builds.
Just to be clear, will 1.5 be recompiled for 2012, or only 2.0? We pre-ordered 2.0 in November for Dec 6, but our IT dept is sooo slow that it may be June before we get 2.0.
btw, Jimmy and Konstantin did an excellent job at the Montreal tour -really good show, and nice, funny guys.
Is there a reason why you're holding off till the end of April? I'm very impressed with the viewport performance, and want to transition asap :P
I second that. I have a few projects I want to start but only want to use vray with max2012. But its better if they solve their issues than having lots of bugs. Good luck Vlado!
