3ds max 2014 - new features:

[danio]

Cool! I'm excited

[devin]

Vlado will this version support the new perspective match feature in Max, specifically will there be a way to convert max cameras into Vray cameras?

[GLASS-CANVAS]

To get back to the original topic, by far the best new feature of Max2014 is a little hidden away. Go to that pull-down tab at the top left of the screen which controls the interface and select 'Default with Enhanced Menus'. Massive improvement, eh? (and about bloody time)

The camera match feature doesn't work with the V-Ray camera yet, but it's easy enough to attach a V-Ray camera to a standard one and match the FOV.

Best regards,
Vlado

The V-Ray properties in the right click menu are not there when switching to this. Unless they have moved?

I have new install for max 14 but I can not get the license server to see the wibukey. Wibukey says it installed correctly. It pops up and says One of the following licenses are required: WibuKey 250897:7758101. Failure reason: A suitable WibuBox entry was not found(17). This is a brand new computer and I don't want to install max 2012.


How can I access the nightly build for 2014?

Please help.

[glorybound]

a stable release for 2014 isn't available, is it?

[TRGraphics]

I thought we could use the 2013 release, for now but I can't get it to work properly.

[glorybound]

my understanding is the nightly build should work.

The current 2013 release works perfectly (for the most part) in 2014 - no issues here.

This error (17 )is due to a WIBU drivers issue. Make sure the dongle is plugged in and start the V-Ray license server, if it is not already running. Make sure that the dongle was properly detected and the drivers were properly installed. To this end, right-click on My computer/Manage/Device Manager. On the right of the window, open the Universal Serial Bus controllers and see whether there is any question mark (in yellow)on the WIBU-BOX/RU staff.
If there are any problems, please go to the manufacturer's web-site and get the latest version of the WIBU drivers:
