Vray 3.5 Beta

[OPEN_RANGE]

If I install the beta would I be able to switch back and forth from 3.5 beta to the 3.4 that I'm using in several current/ongoing projects? IOW are 3.5 and 3.4 allowed to co-exist?

Thanks in advance.

One Max version can have only one V-Ray installed at a time. Every new installation removes the old one first.
If you have Max 2016 and Max 2017 for example, you can have different V-Ray versions installed on each.

OK, I have both 2016 and 2017 installed, but 2017 goes "crash, poof, disappear " on render completion of even just a simple box. some unknown conflict that exists on my system I think. Guess I'll have to wait until I get my new system put together.

You answered my question and thank you for that!

Huh, this shouldn't be the case in general. I am using different V-Ray version in Max 2016 and Max 2017 for quite a while without any problems.
I would suggest to try reinstalling V-Ray to see if that helps, just in case.

I'll try that. I was thinking the problem was with MAX not vray. I'm pretty sure I tried a re-install of 2017 and vray but my memory of what I've done in that regard is not 100% clear. Probably need to re-install both

If you use and have any other plugins, it might be also one of them.
You can contact supprot@chaosgroup.com if the problem persists. They will check just to make sure it is not V-Ray (and if it is, we will work on that).
