Blender for Vray 3.0

[ArnaudT]

Hy,

I've seen that Vray 3.0 for Maya is out.

What about BlenderforVray ?

The last official relase is 2.69.

I'm still waiting on a complete answer for this from support:

Nobody else ?

You can use V-Ray For Maya!
I test V-Ray Adv 3.05.03 For Maya with blender.everything fine.

Thank you for your answer noxman

well, yes buying vray 3.0 for Maya or Max would provide the standalone program, but I'd like an upgrade path from 2.0 standalone that includes DR nodes. It hasn't been clarified how many nodes we can buy at an upgrade cost instead of full cost (since 2.0 comes with 10 nodes possible)

[andybot_cg]

I've received a response now: V-ray 3.0 has not yet been released for standalone. V-Ray 2 is the current release.

[vlado]

Yeah, we are waiting for the Max service pack to release the standalone.

Best regards,
Vlado

Does enyone know, if i buy Vray Standalone 2 now I'll get free upgrade? or it's better wait a while for version 3?

ugh...I am DYING for standalone 3.0 to come out. I contacted support and they told me "We are currently working on the final release of v-ray 3.0 standalone and its licensing policy. The Beta is closed and you should expect a 3.0 commercial release soon." in October. ugh

[vlado]

Well, we do have the builds all ready now; it's just a matter of uploading on the website.

Best regards,

Hello
I tried vray for the first time but I have still 2 questions.
(I am using 20150115 build and vray demo on OSX YOSEMITE)
1. How i can get Vray RT (interactive rendering) working? F12 is just rendering 1 frame. Switching on the realtime engine changes nothing. It still renders 1 frame.
2. I know it is not possible to integrate frame buffer window in blender, but is it possible to update frame buffer windows instead creating the new ones.
3. Is it possible to keep frame buffer windows always on top? (OSX system)

thanks!

Hi,
1. This is not supported.
2. This is also not possible, V-Ray is a separate process, each time you press render a new instance is started.
3. This is currently not possible, but hope will be soon supported.
