VRay for max5

[Percy_xue]

Hi,
Is there a demo version and free version of VRay for max5? Seems all version available now are just for max4. We use max5 only. So VRay is still far from me and our companion. Thanks.

last i checked i think the max4 demo version works in max5
some of the differences between max4 and 5 versions have to do with the DR and since there is no DR in the demo then the max4 will work i assume

VRay for max4 doesn't work w/ max5

Yes, Vray for max4 doesn't work w/ max5. The worst defect, as I have found, is it doesn't support maps such as bitmaps, Procedural maps.

Are you sure you are talking about the demo? I have the demo version for max5, and I've been using it ever since they started making demo builds for it. Maybe your'e thinking of the free version, as that only seems to go up to v.4 of max, though I have never had any problems using it in max5.
As to the lack of support for bitmaps and procedurals, that sounds very strange indeed. Could be you have a corrupt install.
