[stezza]

Any news on release date?

[antonio_cruz]

Most likely it will hit the nightlies before an official release.

Spotted it today in the Nightlies...

[antonio_cruz]

Oh really!!? I just looked and I didn't see anything in the release notes about a 2024 update. Is it working for 2024?

[stezza]

You need access to the Latest Builds folder, not the stable builds

[antonio_cruz]

could you send me the link? I'm only seeing phoenix for maya but even that is still only up to maya 23. and I'm looking in the latest builds.

[stezza]

Access is granted through admin only send chaos an email

Can we get a version in the stable builds, please? Thanks

Can anyone who has been using Maya 2024 attest to its stability? I usually wait for a hotfix...

[hsz]

Can you guys please support Maya USD 0.23 for Maya 2024 since there are no downloads for 0.22 or 0.21. Thanks.

We're adding 0.23 support in update 1 and for Maya 2024 too (native support on mac M1 chips too).
We're closing in on the release, you can basically download a stable 6.1 build (should be available to all users) and it will be roughly equal to the upcoming release.

Will V-Ray 5 support be added to Maya 2024? We have other tools which require 2024, but I have a V-Ray 5 Perpetual license so can't currently use that without running multiple Maya installations =/

[yolov]

Unfortunately, 2024 support is only available with V-Ray 6. Our policy is the current Maya version plus 3 versions back on the V-Ray version in development.
Can you tell me what you mean by "running multiple Maya installations"? You can have different Maya versions side by side, that shouldn't be a problem.

Hi yolov. Could you please provide an estimated release timeframe for V-Ray 5 for Maya in 2024?

Hi yolov. Could you please provide an estimated release timeframe for V-Ray 5 for Maya in 2024?

Hi there,
We don't plan to compile V-Ray 5 for Maya 2024. Maya 2024 support is for V-Ray 6 only.
We support the latest Maya version + 3 version back -- all in the V-Ray version currently in development (which at the moment is V-Ray 6).
Maya 2024 introduced some new requirements (targets new Linux distro, new chip architecture for macOS) that took us some time to get right in V-Ray 6 and that would be very effort-intensive to re-do for V-Ray 5.

Are you locked to using V-Ray 5 and can't move to another version?
