Thanks, but title is wrong so it is misleading. It should be beta 3.

Although the pull down menu of the Memory frame buffer cannot be operated, does it leave GUI?

[vlado]

It will only be accessible if you select "exr (multichannel)" or "vrimg" as the image file format; all other formats require a memory frame buffer.

Thank you.
This is the same thing option as the direct RAW output of 3dsMax.

Hi,

I'm guessing the beta will cease to work very soon and if so, on April 29th, will there be a 1.50SP1 version of V-Ray uploaded so that we can use V-Ray for Maya 2012?

[vlado]

There is the 2012 version for V-Ray 1.5 from the nightly builds for Windows and Linux.

Best regards,
Vlado

Oh wow, I thought those had stopped back in March. Thank you Vlado (again )
