Is it risky to install beta 2?

Yes Unless you need some feature or improvement from 3.5 it would be best to stick to 3.4 until the official 3.5 release is out.

Best regards,
Vlado

I'm really tempted to deploy 3.5 b2 for production as well, but I'm forcing myself no to do so ... however, we can't wait to use IPR !! it will be a killer feature for daily work !!!!
btw, any ETA for release ? I guess this has already been asked *quite a few times*, but I can't find a definitive answer. Thanks

We are using beta 2 for production here. I guess we are a little bit crazy but it hasn't caused any major issues for us so far. It's also a very good way to test the stability and reliability in real-world usage scenarios and report any bugs to the dev team so that the final release is as polished as possible. If we encounter a showstopper problem we'll just revert back to 3.4 but so far this hasn't happened I think.

Alex_M, I hate you - now I'm even more tempted !!! I do NOT thank you

I d like to use ipr as well, but i ll stick to vlados advice

Yep, we are using it too. Working fine so far

Doing it right now.
I'm a little afraid but the project is small and I've time.
I do this mainly because of the glossy fresnel.

Tried to use the resumable rendering progressive multipass workflow. Which is really, really great! But damn it takes so much space... Some test renders (a few hundred frames) plus denoiser took 400gb

will vray 3.5 be available for max 2012? when i wanted to download the beta there was no such version...

[svetlozar.draganov]

We are sorry to report but the support for 3dsMax 2012 will be dropped with the official release of version 3.5x
It's too outdated version of 3dsMax and our recommendation is to update to a newer one.
