V-Ray 3.0 for 3ds Max Beta Open!

[3DKodo]

I think you do need to use VFB to see and save extra passes at the moment. Alternatively can u just set up RT as production render and render that way?

I've set RT as a production renderer, now there are render elements, but without information, only total black or white image.

I am waiting any indication on how to get the render elements with vray rt GPU, if is possible as said.

Use GPU mode

I use Cuda mode and i select all render elements as active, but in the activescade window i see only render RGB pass. There isn't button save separate channel or the possibility to switch between RGB color and other render elements.
Instead in vray frame buffer i have the possibility to switch between RGB color and other render elements.

I've forgotten to check some option?

How can i obtain render elements with vray rt?

Could you set up two user accounts in windows and run vray 2 on one and vray 3 on the other? Just a thought but not tried it.

No, that's not going to work, since the files are in the 3ds Max folder, and not per user.

Best regards,

Is the only way to switch between VRay 2.4 and the 3.0 Beta on the same max version to unistall and re-install constantly?

This is unfortunately true; that's why I generally recommend to install them on different 3ds Max versions. With 3ds Max now being able to save to older formats, it works fairly well.

And just to make sure again, if a scene was made with the 3 Beta, I CANT open it in 2.4?

On the contrary, you can open it in 2.4 and usually it will be fine. The only caveat is if you use the progressive image sampler, you need to switch to something else before rendering in 2.4 - otherwise it will crash.

Just quickly, how long is the Beta period going to last? I'd like to know roughly when we can expect the real 3.0 release.

If I were you I'd hope its not any time soon. Dont forget u got unlimited v3 license Something ull never see again ;O

(But, on the other hand, keep in mind that there is probably not a single release date promise that we've kept ).

I'm sure it will be "soon"

We are hoping for a release before the end of the year, is all I can say. (But, on the other hand, keep in mind that there is probably not a single release date promise that we've kept ).

May be you have to consider decreasing bucket size - or investigating what's going on under that bucket.
Duplicated/Overlapped Geometry with Refractive Material could give that result.

I know this is Max forum but i cannot wait to try 3.0 myself, last bucket syndrome!
