Hello,
How do I get access to the Vray for Maya nightly builds?

Thanks !

All users should automatically have access to our stable nightlies: https://nightlies.chaos.com/#/corwin/stable/stable_5.2
There should be no need to contact support. Just log in with your Chaos account on this link.

In the latest nightlies I wanted to test the Pixar Kitchen Scene with Bifrost USD in Maya 2023. It works and renders fine, except missing reflections.

But I am getting square shaped artifacts in Brute Force Bucket Mode. The only light in the scene is a Vray Rectangle light from outside the window. Other lights render fine.
Can someone reproduce this?

The missing reflections were brought up in another topic. We looked into this and it turned out that the Kitchen scene doesn't actually have any materials. All colors come from a displayColor attribute defined on the meshes.
Arnold, it seems, adds specular to all objects and we're not sure why. The specification isn't clear on whether or not reflections should be added when they're not defined, so in this sense - V-Ray renders the only diffuse color defined on the meshes.

As for the artifacts - we'll have a look at this, thanks for the report.

And a general note on the stable nightlies - the latest builds are our upcoming hotfix where we'll support 2023. As some of you have already found out - it will also support the new bifrost graph to some extent - instances and procedural meshes, for example, will need to be passed through USD to the Maya scene to render with V-Ray (there's a few Bifrost USD nodes that do that when added at the end of the graph).

Just posting here too, that we've released an official hotfix that adds support for Maya 2023.

Let me report this to the relevant team here. Until we fix this, you can use the stable builds (they are based on the same code branch): https://nightlies.chaos.com/#/corwin...e_5.2/20220502

Is there any reason why the link is still not working?

[yolov]

We're looking into the 2023 filter on the website's download section.
Use the nightlies link until we fix that, sorry for the inconvenience. https://nightlies.chaos.com/#/corwin...e_5.2/20220502

It should be fixed now - the downloads should now show a Maya 2023 filter.
