Sorry to repeat post but I think we posted at the same time.

Will there be a Linux version?

Hello again

I promised some visuals last week, so here there are.
The scene is just a simple cube but you can see how the interface, lights, and how different material properties work - Refraction, Reflection, Opacity, Metalness.


Cheers!

I already answered the following questions but since I gathered more information on the subject I'll have to update some of my answers.

This sounds great! Is there a plan for a open beta? Or do we need a „old“ licence for this?

We'll most likely have an open beta program. Since a huge part of the software is rewritten from scratch it would be nice if we can get feedback from you guys before the official release.
More information on this matter will be published when the times comes.

Regarding the "old-license". We'll do our best to make V-Ray for Blender to work with an earlier version of V-Ray Standalone like V-Ray 3 for example. Depending on the compatibility, however it might be necessary to disable old V-Ray versions that don't work well with the new version of V-Ray for Blender. I'm guessing that we will have at least two major versions that will work well but I'm not sure for older versions.

Is it supporting both V-Ray 3.x and V-Ray Next like previous V-Ray for Blender build did ?.

As mentioned above, we'll do our best but since V-Ray 3.x is already outdated I'm not sure if it will work well with the new version of V-Ray for Blender. We'll do our best to do it but we'll see what will happen.

Will there be a Linux version?

At this point, we haven't got plans for Linux version but if there are lots of requests we may include this into to the ToDo list. Currently, our focus is to release support for Blender 2.8, then we'll focus more on the new features and improvements.

That is so cool to actually see it! Can't wait to try it out and maybe try to gradually depend less on 3ds Max.

So, how is it working on a licence level? What if we already have 3ds Max licences?

Looking good! Can't wait to see the material nodes.

Well, here's one request. I would imagine there are others like myself that made the switch to Linux when Windows 7 went EOL.
Thanks

I know it may be a repetitive question - but it's the essential one. Will V-Ray have an interactive real-time link with Blender?

Go!!! Go!!! Go!!!
Eager to test it!

Thanks a lot for sharing the screenshots!
Can't wait to start testing it!

Just as a curiosity,

• Is Chaosgroup planning to implement all the features of VRay in Blender (with time, of course)?
• Or will Chaosgroup implement initially some basic VRay features, and will add more features in the future based on our request?
• Could we provide to you some feedback on the requested features we would like to have implemented in that future? (maybe that helps to have a list of priorities? maybe in a new specific forum thread?)

I see that you are working on 2.82. Does final version will be based on 2.83 LTS?

Me in the year 2073 AC.

I second this. I left Windows this past year for Linux.
