VRay on Maya2013 Extension

[alainfx]

Maya2013 "Extension" has been released yesterday.
"Extension" is the new name for "Subscription Advantage Pack" (SAP).


It seems Autodesk are making the same error they did with Maya2011 : 2013 "Extension" installs as 2013.5, instead of 2013.
Remember the nightmare it was when they did this with Maya2011 ?

Unlike past releases, this one will not be binary compatible with its major release.
Maya C++ plug-in developers will need to recompile their plug-ins to work in Maya 2013 "Extension".

Yep, we need to recompile and make new installations.

How can I forget...

damn

do you know when vray will be compiled?

[vlado]

It should be fairly easy to do that for the nightly/stable builds and I hope to get to that by next week. Official support will be included with the next service pack sometime November-ish.

There are Windows builds on the nightly builds server now (nightlies only, no stable builds yet).

Hi Vlado, I know it's not stable but just thought I should report on a heads up that it seems a bit messed up on 2013.5:

// Error: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2013.5/vray/scripts/vrayRegisterRenderer.mel line 179: The renderer vray is not registered yet. //
// Error: file: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2013.5\vray\scripts\vrayInit.me l line 359: Cannot find procedure "vrayRemoveMenuBaking". //
// Error: line 1: deleteUI: Object 'MayaWindow|mainCreateMenu|vrayMenuCreateItem' not found. //
// Warning: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2013.5/scripts/others/pluginWin.mel line 1139: waitCursor stack empty //
// Initializing V-Ray for Maya

The same problem of "The renderer vray is not registered yet" seems to happen on the latest 2.1 stable build as well (but on 2013x64).

Hm, I'm not getting any errors with the build from today.
