Houdini 18 + Does V-Ray work with Solaris and LOP ?

[Dan Andersen]

We're very keen to see VRay for Solaris too.

To get going we've tried to anticipate what the Chaos Group implementation could look like, and then written a USD-->VRay translator based on that (bypassing Hydra to focus more on final-frame output rather than IPR). Of course anything we write ourselves will eventually be redundant, so we're hoping there'll be some level of official support sooner rather than later.

At the same time we do understand that this is no small undertaking.

mouton007,alpha version is activated in Windows builds for Houdini > 18.0.532 for a long time already, however it's almost unusable for now...

I'm looking into Solaris and was wondering what the status is regarding compatibility with Vray?

[chakarov]

Hi fredsnyder , Solaris is supported in latest nightly builds of V-Ray for Houdini 18.5.462 and up.
