V-Ray for Maya RT public beta begins..?

The GPU version does not share the RAM of the cards; each card is completely separate. It is just as fast; the version that we had there was one of the earliest builds and did not work very well.

So if you have 3 GTX480's with 1.5 of Ram each, you have a limit of 1.5 for the Vray scene you are using with RT? Do Proxies render with Vray RT?

So the first beta is up on the site now (Windows only for now, I hope to have the Linux/Mac OS X builds next week too); there are still some quirks, they will be fixed in the following days.

The beta page lists these Windows operating systems
Microsoft® Windows Vista® Business (SP1 or higher)
Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional (SP2 or higher), 32-bit or 64-bit versions

I don't see Windows 7 listed. Is that a typo? Does the beta really not work on Windows 7?

[vlado]

It works on Windows 7, of course.

Is this GPU accelerated ?

[vlado]

Nope; this is the CPU version only. Once we get this one stable, we will put the GPU part in there.
