Vray 3.0 DR server list

[thedaveschool]

I would like to be able to provide a compiled server list to all my users, so they do not have to add the servers manually.

I know 3DSmax has the server list cfg file that allows you to do this, but I do not know where this file would need to exist for Maya 2014.


Is this possible?
And where is the location?
Can this location be on a centralized location like lets say a network share similar to how I am using the ENV Var for the vray auth client file.

Check out your user's my_documents\maya folder . There's a server_list.tmp and a server_status.tmp. I remember server_status.tmp as a simple textfile wit just 'enabled' or 'disabled' in each line. but now it seems to be binary or something?

Ok I see it.
So this means now EVERY user has to have this file put into their my documents? Is there a way to centralize this? Any way we can force Vray to look in a particular place??

Yes, you can use env var called VRAY_FOR_MAYA_DRLISTS_PATH. Thanks for reminding me to put it in the help
Btw, this is nightly builds/3.1 only.

Ok cool,
So just to confirm, this env var is not available in the the stable release, just the nightlies?

It should work in 3.10, but not in 3.00.
