Vray6 Beta

[waaazoo]

Hi, will there be a VRay6 Beta for Maya ? Do we have to wait that Max beta is closed to see something happening for Maya ?
I would love to test out those clouds

cheers

Even Phoenix 6 is available for Maya in the nighlies. patients young padawan.

whaaat ? Really ? I have to look. Thanks a lot master

[waaazoo]

nope... nothing... or I don't have access to that builds

[stezza]

Only Phoenix 6 Not Vray 6.

[waaazoo]

You probably mean Phoenix 5 which was released recently (already working on it)

[stezza]

My bad it was Phoenix 5 for VRay 6 in the nightlies

[waaazoo]

no problem. At least, except if it's a typo error, it would mean that Vray 6 for maya is around the corner

[Twist]

Can't wait for the Vray 6. A little sad that updates always are made for max first.

I dont mind so much....it means we (in theory) get a slightly more refined product out of the box

Now that beta for Max is over and out I'm guessing Maya will start very soon?

The beta is live! You can check the announcement here for a bit more details - the post has links to signing up for the beta and the dedicated beta forum.

yes, I saw that and subscribed to beta. But, sadly, I had no chance for now to test. I hope to do so over the week-end

Hi,

I could test a little Vray6 beta with a Phoenix build for Vray6. I tested mostly a sea with Sun, sky and the new cloud system. So far it seems to run smooth, updates are quick and it renders fast.
I tried out several sky systems and played with the clouds. The cirrus look nice, but overall I still find that the clouds look quite CGish. The Phase functions do not seem to have any impact, at least with IPR. That said, it's a whole new world to be able to setup a sky with clouds and to have some settings to tweak.
I'm eager to test more of it

Hey,

Thanks for the report! Indeed the Phase function will not be updated during IPR render (we have in the to do list for fixing), also works only with V-Ray CPU for now.

Cheers!
