I just wondered if anyone else out there was having the same issues as me.
I've been using Vray for a few years now, and so far have progressed pretty well (IMHO!). I got as far as release 'r' and achieved some pretty good, reliable results in both still image and animation work.
When the next version came out (some time ago now), I jumped at the chance of installing it...to my regret. Yes yes yes, I know everyone says "Don't install a new beta mid project", but I thought I knew better! All previous betas had been installed with no hiccups. Needless to say, the changes were so 'radical' compared to previous iterations that I had to uninstall it and install old faithful, release 'r'.
Recently, I thought I'd give it another go, as I felt I was loosing touch with some of the forum comments that were being made. So, I installed beta 08. Again, radical changes, and I seemed to have to re-learn much of what I thought I already knew. After many attempts, I came to the conclusion that the new betas were just too different, and seemingly slower than 'r'. Another type of GI calculation. Different values for subdivisions. Etc etc. It made my brain ache. When to use what, how, why and when....
So, I have again resorted to release 'r'. Stable, reliable, relatively straightforward.
