Hi when do vray next users see update 1 or 2 this year or NEXT?

Can any dev say something about it?. Cause this game of silence makes me scream.

I see but this is not the case. I installed it a while ago. The Blender itself has to support those new features they provide and its not.

for example: V-RayMtl

• Better shadow terminator with strong bump maps
• Remove the highlight glossiness slots from UI in Slate Material Editor and disconnect the texmap
• Use the Oren-Nayar model for diffuse roughness

VRayHairMtl

• Add support for "Position along strand absolute" mode

VRayLight

• Dome lights should be adaptive by default

this is just a small part...


There is even no update 1.

You mean that yes. I didnt test AlSurface but Distance texture works with gpu.

This Build is just vray 3.6 on steroids...

Ps!. I understand that all those features cant be implemented in current build (IPR etc). But some basic features like new sampler features, mtl materials.... should be cause than no point in v-next at all.
