Hey guys, saw the other day build 3.30.02 for Maya went live on download page and now it's not available? Was there serious bugs with it? I have it installed so far smooth.

There was one fix for Alembic files that we wanted to add. We didn't break anything new there, the problem had been in the builds for a long time, but I thought it was important enough to fix and reupload.

Best regards,

Any ETA on when 3.3.02 will be back up on the download page?

[Svetlozar Draganov]

It should be already back, are you able to see the builds?

I think your login system is busted, it logs me in into somebody else account randomly and i can only see demo builds.

It is possible that you are using an account that is different from the one you used when you purchased V-Ray; seems to happen way too often. In any case, it would be best to write to support@chaosgroup.com and someone will help you out.

Vlado-

Looks like the Mac download is wrong. I grab the "vray_adv_33002_maya2016_x64.zip" but once it's unzipped it has windows files inside, including "install_vrayformaya_windows.pdf".

Also, does this work for 2016.5 (i.e. 2016 Extension 2)?

[vlado]

I will ask someone to check it out.

No, only 2016 and 2016 ext 1 are supported by this release. 2016 ext 2 will be supported soon. If you need support for it, you'll have to use a night build.

You need the one that says 2016_mavericks where the downloaded pack should read vray_adv_33002_maya2016_mavericks_x64.zip.
It won't work for 2015 ext 2, an official announcement will be made once we're ready with official builds for that version. We'll have nightlies for ext 2 soon.
